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've seen this place online featured in Tampa Bay foodies TikTok and Instagram pages - I had to try it out, and it did not disappoint! I got the two tender mild chicken meal with french fries and a Diet Coke. The chicken was so tender and so tasty and their special sauce is amazing. Their fries were hot and crispy as well. It's definitely worth the drive to Tampa to try this place out! Service was really great and quick and there's a bunch of seating inside for a quick bite and they have a drive-through option.
Stopped here after my oldest daughter flag football tournament because this place was all over her Instagram. Not a fan of fried food but I tried and it was delicious The breading for the chicken has addictive spices lol. Now I understand the trend on Instagram. The sauces were so good. The staff were super kind and very friendly to my younger kids. Cute decor inside that was inline with"Hot Chicken" theme. Good thing we don't have one of these close to our house lol!
Delicious Hot Chicken with the perfect kick and great fries!! If you like Hot chicken, you got to try Dave's!!
This was my first trip to the Dale Mabry Dave's Hot Chicken location for me. I ordered a #1 with 2 tenders extra hot with fries and a regular fountain drink. I can't say enough about Dave's quality and consistency. The flavors they create are amazing. The chicken is always cooked fresh and the fries are always crispy and hot. The heat level and flavor of the extra hot heat level is definitely my favorite. The service was excellent and the crew were friendly and helpful. Dave's has become my go to place for hot chicken.
Great service! Great atmosphere! Love the employee shirts. Enjoyed our experience.

I was in the area and starving so I decided to give these guys a try today. I can't say that I've tried "hot chicken" before so I was curious. I ordered the #3 meal which was 1 tender with a slice of bread, a slider and a side (I choose fries). I was sharing this experience with a toddler so I ordered the tender with no slide and the slider mild. Honestly, I was amused to discover that the difference in no spice and mild is that they don't sauce it at all if u order no spice. The mild sauce had "no spice" either and i found ... read more

After leaving a soccer game, we were famished! First time at Daves and overall it was pretty good. Its open late so thats a plus. The restaurant has lots of seating but the food takes some tome so expect a wait for your food. The chicken was really flavorful and had a great crunch. My husband said it was just okay but im all about hot chicken! I would like to see a sweet tea option here! Prices were fairly reasonable and the food portions were generous. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I would absolutely go again!
