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'd give a 5 star if I didn't have to wait so damn long! I waited 15-20 mins before receiving my order, greeeeat thing I have an hr lunch break. Besides that, GREEEEAT. Everything came out hot, the sandwich is big and very flavorful. I'd eat here again.

My First Time Trying, Fast Service no more than a 15 mins. wait. I ordered the #4 Mild, I really like it. The mild still has some fire to it. I'll be back again. Its on Telegraph off of 12 mile. Plenty of parking spaces. The combo I'm going to try is the Cauliflower.

I know it's a chain restaurant, but this place is awesome! My chicken sandwich was juicy and delicious. I ordered it "hot" and was not disappointed. The "hot" at most places is usually on the mild side in my opinion, but Dave's does it right. Definitely one of the top 5 chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Kind of puts the well know chicken place next door to shame and they're open on Sunday lol. I hope to see more Dave's locations in the future!

As a general rule, I love Dave's Hot Chicken. I frequent their Troy location often, as it's closest to my home, and occasionally the one off 13 mile and Mound. Both are fabulous and wonderful and keep me coming back for more. This location's newer and I've eaten here twice now. While the food's consistent, this place lacks compared to the other two that I go to. It's not one thing, but a few that made me question going to this location. The first time I went here, it was so loud and hard to hear anything. The music makes ... read more

I was thinking, just another chicken place when my buddy suggested we stop in. Was hoping they would have fried chicken, but all meals are done with chicken fingers. That said, the chicken fingers were some of the best I've had, and the spice and sauces were excellent. Little pricey for chicken fingers, but the taste is unique, so I'll give it another shot.

The service was nice and friendly! I have that the slider was just okay for me! We thought it was on the salty side and the chicken lack flavor!

Wow! not only is this one of the most fun themed places I've ever been to... I'm in love with the rubber chickens... but the service at this particular location was outstanding! The manager and the young girl Bree and another girl behind the counter, all three of them were just incredible. I actually was not able to eat because I'm on a special diet and I can't have breading but I will be back as soon as I am able to have some fried chicken! I think the manager said his name was Jaylin but I might not be remembering that rig... read more

Just had my first Dave's hot chicken sandwich. This is 100% the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I got the medium and hot. Medium was very good but the hot... good lord next level. I'm sweating from the heat. If you haven't tried these yet please do.

Wow. This chicken is delicious! Juicy, huge tenders that are fried and absolutely COATED with a kickin' nashville-esque dry rub. Served on a slider and/or a piece of toast with pickles, the portions and flavor were both stellar. Fantastic for a quick lunch. If I lived in the Detroit area, I'd certainly be making the weekly pilgrimage to Dave's.
