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.

Ordered Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time recently. Chicken was flavorful but the medium wasn't very hot. The Dave's sauce is good. I'll be back.

Tried Dave's for the first time tonight, 5-31-24 at around 11pm, and the two young ladies working were extremely helpful despite being close to their closing time. I've seen several locations throughout the country, but this was my wife and I's first time trying. Great food that's cooked perfectly! 10/10 would recommend. Thank you ladies for making our experience here seamless, and thank you for your suggestions for us to not order more than what we asked for.

Food is good but very pricey for small amount of food, service was good for a restaurant that stays packed. Was clean and the staff was friendly.

This is a fun spot if you're seeking flavorful chicken and good vibes. I ordered the 2 tender meal and have to say I was impressed with the level of flavor and the tenderness of the chicken. Also the pickles were so good! Not a fan of the plain white bread they serve the tenders on, but overall the tenders, fries and pickles delivered just the right amount of savory/salty goodness. Staff was friendly and very chill even though they were having computer issues when we stopped in. The inside decor is covered in bright graffi... read more

I'd actually like to start out by saying the food here is actually decent. Been here a couple of times with a group of friends and all of our chickens were never dry and the flavor has always been good. My friend cannot tolerate spicy foods gets a mild spice and says that's good for him. I prefer spicy food, and I would say a "hot" has a bit of a tingle. And I loveee their Mac and cheese. Super ooey gooey cheesy. While their food is good, the price and the service kinda sucks. It's like $5 for a chicken tender (Granted that ... read more

In town visiting a friend in Fort Collins, we usually go to Music City for hot chicken, which is also very good, but we saw that Dave's Hot Chicken opened up so we went there! I've had Dave's once before in Denver, and remember it being delicious. The Fort Collins location did not disappoint! My friend and I both ordered the two piece tender meal with hot tenders, and an extra side of mac and cheese and kale slaw. With drinks, all of this for two people was under $40 which is decent! The service was pretty quick, and the ... read more
