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.

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
I wanted to try Dave's as alternative to Canes since I love spicy chicken. For the price I would say it's not worth it. The chicken was pretty good. The seasoning was similar to Music City hot chicken, with a flavorful mix of sweet and spicy. The fries were also topped with the same spice. So I'd say they were good. The bread and sauce is where I had to dock some points. It was literally like 2 slices of white wonder bread that were barely toasted. The sauce is missing something. It doesn't pair well with the chicken because... read more
Dave's is fine. Nothing was bad, or really exceptional. Chicken was a decent piece of chicken and was cooked well. Flavors were okay, we tried mild, medium, and hot. The cheese fries were probably the best part of the meal. For hot chicken you are better off going to Music City for a lot of reasons, no fault of Dave's, we just have a very exceptional other option basically on the same block.
I've only been here once before and while I don't like supporting chains, this one is worth it! We stood in a long line that breezed through very quickly and placed our orders at the register - two mild tenders for the husband, a single HOT slider (these sliders are basically regular sized sandwiches) for me. My husband grabbed a beer (they have four offerings on tap) and I snagged a cup for water. After only a few minutes, our buzzer went off, we picked up our food and headed to the large patio out front overlooking Colleg... read more
Ordered the sliders with hot spice level. Very spicy for me but could not stop eating. One slider and fries was enough for me. Good flavor and love the coleslaw in the sandwich. Food came out quick.
Honestly really wanted to love this place. The service was excellent!! However, the food was just okay. The chicken was nice and juicy, but everything tasted very sweet. Not worth the hype, I would recommend going to Music City Hot Chicken across the street.
I was denied the monster hunter meal! I wanted to feel like a true hunter, huntin' monsters and what not but these guys said there was no such thing as a monster hunter meal even with the collaboration being posted up right in front of you as you walk in. I wanted my rathy tenders.
The food was definitely ok but the people working were really young and didn't seem like they knew what they were doing most of the time. I feel like they probably make a lot of mistakes. My order came out after others and then the manager I think his name was Evan, made up some excuse. It was total bs. Whatever. I'm not going back.
The cashier was very rude to me. The chicken was also not fully cooked. Very disappointed.
