About this business
TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and now they finally have one in Lake Mary! The restaurant is pretty cool looking with all the different graffiti and art on the walls. The inside is pretty loud, almost like a cafeteria. They just opened not too long ago so expect to wait patiently for your meal. The line inside got pretty long during Lunch. I ordered the Mild Slider and Tender combo with fries. If you are concerned this isn't enough food for you don't be, the slider is basically a regular chicken sandwich ... read more

Service was good and Plenty of workers present. Place was clean from what I saw so no complaints there. Ordered a few different spice levels to test out ranging from medium to reaper. Surprisingly the reaper wasn't as spicy as the extra hot in my opinion. But everyone's spice level is different so please start off low if you cannot tolerate spice. I also found that the lower spice levels had more flavor compared to the hotter ones. My only wish is that they added more of their sauce and kale salad to the slider. It would'... read more

The extra hot was spicier than the reaper?!! Hmm... doesn't sound right but we're glad that you loved it! If you have a minute, would you mind connecting with us at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc to tell us how we could have earned that fifth star?

Cute exterior! Wait time for the drive-through was pretty long and the portion size is pretty massive. If I go back I think I would be happy ordering a slider and fries on the sides menu- The meals also don't come with a drink just so you know . The Hot option for the tenders does not mess around which is pretty great if you are into that and the chicken is juicy! I am not afraid of spice but I couldn't finish the slider so I was immediately humbled... a round of applause for anyone who could finish the Reaper level. Lea... read more

Dave's is on par with another highly related and popular hot chicken place in Winter Park. My wife and I both got Hot which was enough heat to make you feel it, but not overwhelming. I got the sandwich loaded with cheese and my wife got the tenders, both with fries and cheese. The portion of food was enough to fill you with the ability to question over eating. I'd eat again over any other chicken place around.

I'm not really one to leave a review for a fast food chain, but the negative posts for an establishment that JUST opened up need a little balance. Yeah we had to wait a bit, they were SLAMMED for their *first* day. The staff was extremely courteous & apologetic - personally I would rather wait than be fed raw chicken, crazy right? My husband had the mild sliders (way bigger than what I would consider sliders) with fries, I had the Reaper slider with fries, we shared the creamiest mac & cheese I've ever had from a fast foot j... read more
