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.

It's our first time visiting Dave's Hot Chicken! I have seen their stores opening up all around San Diego, but haven't gotten the chance to try yet until the new mission valley store opened. I was very surprised by how busy they were on a Friday early evening around 530 pm. There were probably 15 people waiting for their orders. The store is pretty small inside with a few tables, but the outdoor space has about 6 larger tables. Almost all tables were taken when we placed our order. We waited about 15-20 mins for our order,... read more
Very tiny place with maybe 2 tables and some outdoor seating. The waiting area to pick up your order is very tight. I've been wanting to try this spot for a while now and am glad I did, but I won't be returning. Prices are fair. But I've had better chicken sandwiches. The slider is a decent size but the flavor of the (mild) chicken itself has an unusual sweet after taste that I wasn't expecting. The mac & cheese is basic. The Dave's sauce is good; I can tell it's just mayo mixed with other things. The fries are surprisingl... read more

This was so buss, brotha at the front gave us a free slider! Rizz! My girlfriend busted a nut and the floor got all wet, but they put down a wet floor sign instantly! I recommend!
Dave's is great food and provides excellent service quality. Emily is the best and the food always hits different. The spice level medium is a great balance with a shake.
This place was awesome! The food was great and the customer service was even better. Renata took great care of us and made great conversation. I would highly recommend this place.
The place was really busy but service was super courteous. Shoutout to Emily! The food is really good. I tried Dave's #2. medium level of heat and thought I could try hot next time but it was a bit much. Definitely packs a punch. The shakes are really good too. Lots of parking, they have a bathroom, accept cards, etc. definitely worth the visit.
Daves Hot Chicken is delicious. Emily was an amazing in helping me choose what to order!!!
The chicken here is juicy and crunchy, with so much flavor. I got two sliders medium spice and it was the perfect level of spice. The buns and pickles were also delicious. The art on the walls is very cool and all San Diego related. It's a very chill place and the employees are always very nice and attentive, even when they are busy. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because it takes quite a long time to get your food. I had to wait for 45 minutes to get one meal and others around me had waited longer.

went into DHC today and experienced amazing food, amazing customer service and got to witness a customer being horribly rude and impatient with the staff, but that didn't stop them from being super patient and understanding, as well as accommodating, the staff always has such great attitudes, and they're always pushing out great food, my husband and i always look forward to coming here!
