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.

Located on the border of Saratoga and Sunnyvale, parking is plentiful but at peak times spots may be difficult to find. The interior is large and good for medium sized groups. #3 (5/5): medium spice. The fries were perfect. It was crispy on the outside yet fluffy on the inside. The seasoning was a bit light but went well with the sauce. The spice is a good level. It didn't mask the flavor and still gave a good kick. Tap to pay is accepted. Service is good and pretty quick and the food is absolutely fantastic. Overall, Dav... read more
Service was really good, everyone was nice and I was able to get my order very quick. However, the chicken felt slightly undercooked and I wasn't really able to enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

Had Dave's for the first time my husband picked it up for us. He said the staff was very nice and helpful, when I got my food the packaging I must say is really cool! My food was hot and had all kinds of sauces on the side to try, I got a mild it was good but I like more spice so next time I'll get hot! The quality is there, and those pickles are super good ! It's pricey , and drinks are sold separately which kind of sucks since each meal is about 19$ but I liked it tho I'll be back to try the hotter chicken !

Came to try out daves hot chicken here locally. Large seating options both indoor and outdoor. No rush at all at a sunday lunch time. Service was good. The food was ok, maybe im not into the hot chicken but the sliders idk if the buns should be toasted but that would have helped and i feel they should put some more sauce in the slider itself, it was a bit dry. The fries were really fresh. Tried milkshake, vanilla, it was alright. Easy to drink unlike in n out but not as good tasting as theirs. When i saw the prices honestly ... read more

I've been to this location twice and both times there has been the same worker at the counter. The food is pretty good but I'm here to talk about the cashier. His name is Sebastian and he is the nicest most customer friendly cashier I have met. He deserves a raise.
Staff here is very friendly. The bathrooms are clean. Great music choice. The hot chicken is actually hot and pretty good. The shake has good viscosity and thickness. Overall really good. Only thing I could think that could be improved would be the seasoning on the fries they were a bit under seasoned.
After taking the first bite of my meal, I was pleasantly surprised by the homemade feel and taste. The chicken was well-marinated and served on a soft bun, which looks like a brioche, which made the overall experience enjoyable. I ordered the #4 from the menu with mild spice, and it was a good choice. The flavor was just right! I would rate my experience 5 stars out of five. This includes the friendly staff working at the time and the ambiance is pleasantly welcoming.

Hey, thank you for the amazing five-star review! You're a legend! We're thrilled to have made your day. Your feedback brightens our day!
Dave's Hot Chicken exceeded my expectations. I got medium heat & it was a good level of heat (I'd say 1 notch before the nose starts running ;) it was hot, temperature-wise, along with the fries (which were cooked to perfection, just the right amount of crispiness). $10.99 was a bargain, for the chicken slider sandwich & fries. I'd like to try a shake but I was a little skeptical after seeing the small shake machine & reading another Yelper's review.

In Spanish: Todo bien rico! Pollo crispy, jugoso, y picosito. Recomiendo el HOT slider #4 In English: Looks simple (and way too much like Angry Chickz) but the chicken is juicy and has excellent flavor. I ordered HOT (level 3 out of 5 I believe). It's hot! But edible for me. There's still extra hot and Reaper . Next time I'm getting extra hot . And they are WAY better than Angry Chikz IMO. Also, the young Guatemalan girl who took my order gave exceptional customer service and attention to detail. After thoroughly an... read more
