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.

Besides the slight increase in pricing the chicken and what comes with it is a whole meal that will leave you feeling good for at least 2-3 hours. Service was fast and the atmosphere is calm.

Great hot chicken. Pretty standard. Service is an A+. Tables and dining room is always clean. Taste of hotter chicken is inconsistent which docks a star

Dave's Hot Chicken is an excellent chicken spot addition to the Holly Springs area. Tyson took our order and was very articulate, punctual, and very friendly. The service was a 10/10. The food was awesome too. Chicken was juicy and flavorful. Fries cooked to perfection. (I mean how hard is it to mess up chicken and fries?) Atmosphere is really great for anyone but culturally designed toward younger generations (less than 30 yo). Pricing is a high but that is to be expected in this day and age. All in all Dave's is a great pl... read more

Parking: plenty of parking since it was in a shopping mall area. Food: chicken tenders and chicken sandwich. Fries were great and seasoning and sauce were really good. Also enjoyed the pickle on the side. They said the medium spice was similar to a chicfila... honesty thought chicfila was spicier. Would have upped it on the spice meter they had the next time we go. Otherwise it was still really good Service: decent service and just took our food to go Ambiance: a small,open restaurant that was pretty clean.

This is the REAL DEAL for spicy chicken, and I'm a guy who only buys ghost pepper or hotter. Fries and special sauce are solid, too. Well done

lowkey over priced but good quality. The drive is far out but if you live near the place it is not bad.

I waited a while to check out Dave's mostly due to the comments about it being expensive for what you get and to let the dust settle after opening. I have a healthy appetite and had way too much food with the 2 slider combo. We ate half and air fried the leftovers the next day. So good. The chicken was extremely tasty and was not greasy at all. I had 1 hot and 1 extra hot and thought the flavor and spice on both were delightful. My husband had the exact same order and loved it too. I do not agree with those that claimed it w... read more

Had wanted to try this since we saw the renovations being done a while ago. Finally made it here. It's quick service, order & pick up at the counter. There's ample seating inside & out. When we got there it was pretty busy & a bit noisy. The menu is limited to a couple of items. The standout here is the chicken. I ordered the slider & tender combo. When I hear slider, I think of a small sandwich like one of those dinner rolls that you get at Thanksgiving. What I got wasn't a slider imho...it was a full size sandwic... read more

Overall it was tasty but the price is high in my opinion. I understand a different process is likely needed to make the cauliflower option, but to add $2 for two pieces of an ingredient that I'd imagine is cheaper than chicken is a little weird to me. If you do get chicken the portion size is pretty big, which I think makes the cost more understandable. I'm glad we tried it but I don't know if I'll be back.
