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.

Points for doing something unique! More points for the chicken - moist and tender inside, crunchy and hot on the outside. Seasoned fries were delish! The only real downside is that the "slider" was easily the messiest thing I've ever eaten! Next time, I'll just get the tender with a side of slaw. All the same ingredients but I don't have to wrestle it into my mouth. Those enormous tenders do NOT want to be sandwiches!

Yes, yes and yes again. I was initially hesitant to come here because it seemed pricey and "tenders" and "sliders" don't exactly scream bang for your buck. However I'm glad to say I was wrong! Dave's delectable sliders and tenders combo embodies the essence of real food. Generous portions of mouthwatering delights, expertly seasoned fries, and soft, slightly sweet buns make for an unforgettable culinary experience. The perfect blend of flavors in the hot and medium tenders and sliders will leave you craving more, and the ch... read more
The chicken seasoning was not the best. Felt it was over seasoned. The atmosphere was beautiful and service was great. Wish they had other options of food.

This was my first time at a Dave's Hot Chicken. Service at the drive thru was fast and friendly. Prices are a bit higher than most fast food locations. The large Chocolate shake was delicious...but it was almost $5 and it was slightly more than 12oz. My wife and I shared a two slider meal with fries and Mac & Cheese side. The best part of the meal was not the chicken. The chicken seasoning/coating (ordered hot) was super salty. The Mac and cheese salty as well. It reminded me a of Velveeta cheese sauce. The star of the m... read more

Place was clean bright chicken was fresh and crispy could've had a bit more salt but very good, to bad onion rings weren't an option. Would go go back again

Ordered the "Extra Hot" meal with a slider and a tender, plus fries and a drink. A bit on the pricy side, but good - although my girlfriend ended up with a two tender meal but made "Mild." Also I appreciated the sauce and pickles - a nice touch. Service was quick and the restaurant was clean, with several employees coming out to clean while we enjoyed our meal. The dining room is a bit small, but there is a drive-thru and the place is open late, so I would take it home next time. I took my leftovers home and it didn't make ... read more

Appreciate the kind words and the near-perfect score! There's always room to up our game, though. Give us the lowdown at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc on how we can earn that last star from you. Thanks for helping us grow!
We waited a few weeks for the craziness to slow down before finally trying the new Dave's on the Pike. We dined in, and the interior is very cool but small. We got there right at noon on a Saturday and grabbed the last open table. The chicken is fantastic -- super crunchy, and huge pieces! Loved the slaw on the slider. Hubby got the hot level and it made his eyes water, which he was happy about! Fries are excellent. I wouldn't recommend the mac and cheese -- it was watery and bland. We will definitely be back!

I had Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time this past summer while in Vegas, so I was excited to see it in PA while traveling through Harrisburg area. I pulled in during what was a little slow spell. I ordered right away and waited about 3-4 minutes for my food to be ready. Space was very clean and seemed to be very new. As I sat there eating the restaurant filled up pretty quickly. I opted for a mild spice level as I had a long drive ahead and felt it may be the best choice. I wish I had ordered hot however. The chicken cam... read more

I had no intention on coming here today but as I was driving by, I saw there was no crowd and I took a gamble and stopped in. Debating my life choices in the car while perusing their online menu and ordering system, and BOOM! I created an account and placed my order online using Apple Pay. So easy to make and pay for bad decisions! Knock off one star for lame Mac n Cheese. Otherwise, one very tasty and hot (spicy) chicken slider that made me sweat (in a good way). Kale Slaw was very good. Interior and the decorations are ... read more
