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.

I was excited to try out this new location since I have been to Dave's in Newton. I ordered online and got the #3 combo 1 slider and 1 tender. I checked in at the counter the server asked for my name and said it'd be out in 2 minutes. About 10 minutes have passed and I am still waiting for my order, while I see friends of workers coming in and getting orders before mine. The guy at the counter asked for my name again and said 2 minutes, but again I waited for much longer. I came here in the afternoon and there was only 1 oth... read more

Oh man. What a treasure this place is. Never heard of it and stopped in on a whim. I was not disappointed. Really friendly and speedy service, affordable prices, and CRAZY good chicken. I got the sandwhich and tender combo with fries. Everything was out of this world. The chicken was the perfect combination of crunchy fried outside with a perfectly cooked chicken on the inside. The Dave's sauce rocked. The fries ruled. Honestly talking about it makes me dying to return. Highly, highly recommend.

I liked the taste and texture of the chicken tender, less so for the slider but still pretty good. The fries could have been seasoned less and they would have been amazing. They make you sign a waiver for the reaper spice; the reaper spice is no joke; I had a piece the size of a quarter and it was very irritable. Thankfully, the slice of white bread helped with the heat.

Not sure why Dave shot chicken, but I'm glad he did. Got the extra hot tenders and diarrhea. 10/10 would get both again.

Dave's Hot Chicken is one of the best fast food place in Boston. The chicken was really tender and well seasoned. I got the hot and extra hot but the extra hot was a bit too spicy for me. I think if you are good with spices extra hot will be good but hot is good for people not too good with spicy food. The fries were also really seasoned well and it was amazing dipping it in Dave's sauce. The service was good and the place was spacious to seat large crowds. I really enjoyed the food and I will get food here again

Another fast food chain added to Downtown Boston... the chicken is crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. I really enjoyed their fries... Definitely order again if I am craving for fried chicken sandwich.

Though I don't usually get fast food or hot chicken, I decided to try out Dave's since it had just opened earlier this month. At 10:30 am on a weekday, I did not need to wait in line as they had just opened for the day, though I noticed online order pickups already streaming in. I ordered the Dave's #3 combo - 1 tender, 1 slider, and fries ($13.99). Probably because I arrived at opening, everything arrived piping hot. The fries, lightly seasoned with some cajun / blackened - esque sprinkle, seemed decently salted. It also... read more
