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.

After reading all of the reviews and wanting to actually enjoy my food vs just force it down because it was too hot, I decided for my first time to order the two slider combo with fries in Medium Limited menu ( which is actually a good thing, as they're just focusing on Chicken and sides ), ordered my food online and about 15 minutes later is was ready when the order said it would be, Grabbed it and sat down, the first thing I noticed was just how much food there was. I actually removed one of the tenders from each slider ... read more

We had the chicken slider sandwich meal box with mild chicken and fries. Super delicious and not hot/spicy at all. Loved the crunch on the chicken tenders. The tenders weren't stringy or dry at all. Loved the crinkle fries and Dave's sauce too. Also grab some hot honey for your chicken, it was so good. The line was long but moved fast. 

Business response:

People like you are what keep us going. We appreciate the love and support. Hope to have you back soon!

The first thing is this is the best Nashville hot chicken in Buffalo. I was there Saturday with my family and the staff is amazing. They deserve a shout-out. They offered me a cool-looking sticker. The inside was cool looking. I got the saves finger and sandwich and with that Dave's sauces its amazing. I recommend going here! 

Business response:

I received the recommendation from a co-worker to try this chicken. She drives an hour away weekly just to get it, so I took her up on her recommendation. I placed my order online, and waited and waited and waited. The restaurant was packed not a single available order and the line was wrapped toward the back. Nothing but a sea of people and a very confused worker trying to make sense of all the orders. As I waited I wondered, "is this wait going to be worth it?". The worker had to close down the line ro catch up with the... read more

Business response:

Glad you gave it a shot! Sounds like the wait tested your patience, but happy to hear the chicken delivered. Solid pro tip—ordering ahead is key. Hope to see you back for another crispy, juicy fix!

I don't often review fast food restaurants. And I don't give many establishments five stars, especially on a first review. Dave's hot chicken on Niagara Falls Blvd. in Tonawanda performed magnificently. Beginning with the customer service. Customer service at a fast food restaurant? Absolutely. The woman behind the counter was genuinely happy and seemed truly pleased to be taking people's orders. "Brandi O"greeted everyone with a smile and a kind word and gave the kind of customer service that one just doesn't see in a fast... read more

Business response:

Five stars from a tough critic? We’ll take it! Love that Brandi O. made an impression—great service makes all the difference. Appreciate the shoutout, and we’ll be ready for your next visit!

This place is always busy! So I knew it must be good! My son ordered delivery and was kind enough to let me try a bite of everything so I could leave a review and decide if I should stop here for a meal sometime. I will say it was delicious! The hot chicken was absolutely perfection in flavor and texture. I wanted so badly to take another bite! We are lacking a good chicken sandwich place near my home in Williamsville. Anyway, A+ on the sandwich! The Mac and cheese was nothing to write home about and personally not of my tas... read more

I love a spicy, fried chicken sandwich, so of course I had to try Dave's. Don't play around with the heat levels if you're not ready. It's actually quite spicy. I loved the dry spice rubs they use as opposed to a sauce. The location is clean and service is wonderful. Would definitely recommend!
