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.

Dave's Hot Chicken: A Spicy Delight with a Touch of Class! Dave's Hot Chicken is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is buzzing with energy and a fun, casual vibe. You instantly feel welcomed by the friendly staff, who are happy to explain the menu and guide you through the spicy levels (trust me, you'll need it!). The food is the star of the show. The chicken is perfectly crispy and juicy, with a flavor that packs a punch, no matter which heat level you choose. The sides are equally delicious, especial... read more

Best chicken place. Fun vibes, great service and the best chicken sandwiches you can buy. The spice levels combine with amazing flavor. The slaw and pickles are delicious on the sliders. The fries are cooked perfectly and dusted with delicious seasoning. The Mac and cheese is above average. The shakes are ok, but not up to par with everything else.

This is their 3rd location in the Milwaukee area, and I just want to commend how well this location is ran. Service is top notch, all of the staffs are welcoming and kind each time I visited. They're all fast at expediting orders, never had to wait long for my orders and the food is always consistent. The chicken sandwiches are the best, hands down. The slaw and pickle perfectly complement the very well seasoned tinder-chicken breast. Fries come standard or can be substituted with mac&cheese, which I haven't tried yet. I ca... read more

This was our first time eating at Dave's Hot Chicken! Food was delicious! I got the two sliders with fries, my wife got the two tenders with fries. The sliders are great because they add a little bit of coleslaw on the top. The sauce they serve with it is amazing! Fast service, very friendly and inviting atmosphere. We will definitely be back again! Next time I have to try one of the Oreo or m&m shakes they offer.

I ordered the 2 slider meal because it was my first time and I wanted to try both the chicken and cauliflower option. Both were very delicious! In addition, the fries, pickles, slaw & sauce were all very good too. Doug, the manager, visited with us a bit and we enjoyed the music and lively atmosphere. Furthermore, There restrooms were clean and handicapped accessible. There is one gender neutral restroom and one women only restroom. Only the women’s restroom had a baby diaper changing station.
