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.

First the service was great. Told the girl at the counter it was my first time and she suggested I get the sandwich with fries. It was hot and spicy. Definitely will be back

We came here after seeing it on YouTube and it was HOT! So we came in and there were graffiti on the wall (not actual graffiti) and got two sliders (hot), and Dave bites (mild). The server was nice, the food came quick! The bites weren't that bad, but the sliders said something different. They live to their name. HOT! The heat levels were Not hot Mild Medium Hot Really Hot Reaper We got tenders that were really hot! To get an idea of how spicy they can get. And it was so hot I can't even explain! It was like 2x the spic... read more

My first time at a Dave's, and I enjoyed their hot chicken tender and slider combo platter. The food came out hot and fresh. The counter person was friendly, patient, and helpful which was greatly appreciated since it was our first time there. The cook, I believe, also made sure we were happy with our meal, as well. He came out and was busy keeping the place picked up while checking in with customers. I can't wait to try the mac and cheese next. Check them out!

Meh. Just okay to me and nothing to rave about. I came to Dave's hot chicken based on all the hype around social media. I was exicted to finally see what all the hype was about. I ordered on their online website and I got two tenders both medium flavor and fries. The order also came with thier signature sauce and pickles. Online ordering was easy and when I arrived about 15 minutes later it was ready for pickup. The chicken had an okay flavor. I probably should have tried the hot to taste some kick. It wasn't crispy and it... read more

My husband and I decided to try out Dave's Hot Chicken. We both ordered the 1 slider 1 tender meal. For the first time trying, we decided to try mild. I've seen the reviews, and the reaper had people's lips swelled 2 times the size they should have been, so we weren't taking any chances, LOL. I have to say the crunch and taste of the coating was ABSOLUTELY delicious. The kaleslaw was a good addition to the sandwich. It had a good sweet but alight bitter taste and was super crunchy. They give you a side of fries and some pi... read more

Straight up, the best chicken sandwiches in the area, no question. Food always takes a while even with 8 people in the back but it's worth it.

Chain for Nashville hot chicken finally coming to Philly. Had this elsewhere but was excited to see it in Philly. I've had several hot chicken places in the area and this is so far my favorite. Review for the tenders which come with a slice of bread, sauce and fries. Really appreciate how the workers are generous with the sauce. Should be careful as their heat is no joke. As someone that enjoys hot foods, I like the extra hot. But you need to be able to handle your heat if you get that level, but they have milder options. Mi... read more

The food is very good and filling. Everything is seasoned well and has some spice behind it. The service was nice and fast but it took food a little long which is good. The restaurant was clean and the walls were nicely painted. The bang for your buck is a great with a delicious slider and amazing fries
