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.

Fast and good service. I tried reaper and died (but it was good), this time I went for medium tenders. After having Dave's too many times in sick of it now. Dave's sauce is an unhealthy feeling spicy mayo.

It was decent. It's fast food, so it is what it is. I wouldn't rush back, but my young adult kids probably will.

First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, definitely did not dissapoint. Went there on a Friday at around 6PM, packed full of teenagers and adults. I would highly recommend ordering online before getting there to skip the wait if you're going during a busy time. Their chicken slider was delicious! Really enjoyed the kale slaw in the slider. Ordered the hot slider, I think it was perfect definition of "hot". The sauce was good, and the seasoned fries were a nice touch compared to salty fries you get at most fast food restaurants... read more

I'm a huge fan of Dave's and I'm happy to see new locations pop up around Massachusetts. The vibe inside the restaurant is very hip and the staff are very welcoming. The prices are reasonable too. I got the hot slider which had a good amount of heat. Previously I tried medium and it didn't taste spicy to me. The combo comes with a great amount of fries and the toppings go well with the slider. The chicken is amazing and cooked very well. It does remind me of Nashville. The sauce is great and I found myself dipping the slide... read more

Words cannot describe the life changing and awe-inspiring experience which occurred to me through the holy gates of this here restaurant. But I will take great effort in capturing a few words that could possibly describe my wrinkled thoughts. I used to be a poor man; destitute and desperate. I went through life seeing nothing but the inevitable displeasures of everyday existence. I once looked at a glass and saw it half emptied--but now my cup runneth over. After my trip to Dave's Hot Chicken the vigor for existence has be... read more

First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken today. Ordered the #1, two tenders w/ fries, sliced bread, pickles, and Dave's sauce. I ordered an extra tender for $4.99 extra because I thought it wouldn't be enough. Two tenders? For $12.00+? Honestly, the tenders and the fries were filling enough. The bread wasn't toasted, just plain. The fries were crinkle cut and seasoned, not bad, but not super delicious either. The pickles, however, were delicious.I think the whole star of the meal was obviously the chicken. I chose the mild heat ... read more

I love the LA locations but Braintree has left me upset two times. The first time I ordered for lunch I picked up my food on time and when I took a hit it was very cold inside. The second time I ordered extra 3 sauces on top of the one that they are suppose to give you complimentary and I received NO sauce at all. Two bad experiences prob won't go there again. I'll take a gift card to change my mind tho.

We'd really love a second chance to make this right. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie
