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.

My daughter likes this place when she was in Irvine. So I gotta try this since now they open one in seattle. Got there around 2pm. Pretty decent line. Plenty of space to seat front area and back. The menu is simple #1, 2 , 3 or 4, and you can order just chicken strips only or add other sides. I tried #3 one chicken strip, a slider with fries for $13.99. Spicy level normal. I should have order spicier. It is more salty than spicy. I like the crispness of the outside. Not too oily. The restaurant looks pretty clean. The lin... read more

The bomb. Chicken sandwich is just done perfectly right snd balanced. Fry sauce is the bomb. Worth the wait. Thought service was just fine considering how many people want to eat here.

When I went on a Saturday at 12pm, the line for Dave's Hot Chicken was inside so it seemed like the perfect time to go! I ordered the #4 which came with a slider and fries with the Dave's sauce. I got level hot for the chicken. The slider itself was juicy and delectable and paired extra well with honey on top. The fries were too salty for me and I was unable to finish them, even with the Dave's sauce. The pickles were nice and sour and tasted good with everything! I'm glad I got a sprite because that was a lot of cholestero... read more

The line for Dave's Hot Chicken was out the door! It wrapped around the corner of the building, and the total wait time for our order was 60 min! Despite that, the wait was worth it since my boyfriend and I have been craving Dave's Hot Chicken since we first tried it in July 2023 in LA. We're so happy that it opened in Capitol Hill! The service was really friendly, and you can tell majority of the team members were being trained on the spot. They did a great job with maintaining the flow of service, and the wait time was j... read more

This review is for takeout. Finally got a chance to pick up today and the food is AMAZING! Great tasting chicken, very well seasoned and breaded and the fry on it is perfect. Served with a delicious Cole slaw and sauce and soft, fresh bread. Fries were hot, crispy and well seasoned. It's also great when restaurants actually deliver on the heat: mild is mild, hot is decently hot, and the hottest indeed packs a punch. If you're sensitive to spice go for the mild and you'll still get a damn good chicken experience. Even the pic... read more

I bought the hot box roulette tenders knowing I would choose to eat the Grim Reaper. The chicken is amazing. The grim reaper? I am going to burn in hell for eternity. I am going to burn enough fossil fuels to ensure that I am irrelevant. I am ordering again just to prove the sweat and agony wasn't CGI for the uncommon-wealth.

As a first time customer: my to go order thru Ubereats, my pickles was not in a container it was sitting in the bag. This is just wrong and I work in a food industry as well. This is uncalled for. The sandwich and the chocolate shake with Oreos on top was great. mac & cheese was ok. Dave needs to do better when it comes to go orders.

This place just opened like a month ago and there's always a line to get in. My boyfriend and I decided to check out what the hype was about. We got the combo #3. We both got spice level hot and it sure was hot. I could probably do extra hot but not reaper. You can substitute the fries for another side item which is nice. My boyfriend got the Mac n cheese instead of the fries and it was basic Mac n cheese. The fries were good and the size of the slider was good. We waited like 30-40mins to get in the door and order, then ano... read more
