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.

The food was incredibly delicious! We got the sliders and fries with honey and the Dave's sauce--a classic! You definitely need a lot of napkins though because it's messy. The service was very friendly and quick! The ambiance was nice, but I felt like it could be improved with more personalization. Otherwise, great place to get a bite to eat!

First time here and the cashier was outstanding explaining everything about the food and spice levels . The service was outstanding. The food was great. They have from no spice to reaper flavor chicken. It's a little more money then your other chicken joints. We would come back again. Give it a try for yourself!

Service and quality are excellent. Just a fair warning: they're extra hot is truly hot. I eat Tabasco sauce for breakfast, and the extra hot chicken made me sweat. I can't even imagine what reaper would feel like.

I am not going to lie! I was skeptical at first and I was heartbroken when Burgerfi disappeared. Then, my husband said, "Let's try Dave's chicken." And, I said,"why not?" Bc Dave's hot chicken had taken over the burgerfi location. We love us some spicy chicken!!! So, he went and got a take out with a slider with spice level reaper to calm the heat down and two extra spicy thinking we are eating extra spicy like pros without even sweating and getting a reaper just for a conversation piece. Then, he told me that he had to ... read more

Took the family to Daves hot chicken today for the first time. The overall food was delicious, I especially enjoyed the NOT Ckn slider, this is a breaded and fried slice of cauliflower, you have the same "flavor" options as the chicken. The bread was soft, cauliflower cooked to perfection, flavor of the breading was delicious, and the coleslaw on the sandwich was great. I personally did not enjoy the flavor of the dave' sauce (luckily i asked for that to be put on the side, if you are unsure, I recommend doing just that). Th... read more

This is my favourite burger in the town, and the taste is so good and satisfying. Must try burger place in Gainesville.

Great fast casual chicken restaurant. I got a 3 piece chicken tenders, which came with fries and garlic toast. I was initially disappointed at the price, but didn't realize how filling it was. After receiving my food, I don't know that I could've eaten much more. I got them mild and the seasoning itself on the chicken was delicious without adding much heat. I don't know how exactly to describe, but it's like a thin layer of spices that stick to your finger and are delicious. Definitely would return and recommend it!

Food was ok. Not sure I would go back. Very cold inside and seemed over priced for Chix fingers.

The ambiance inside is so bright and inviting and the staff is so friendly and quick to address your requests. The ordering line was long, but went fast. The chicken tenders are of good size and so soft and flavorful, you will not be disappointed. Ordered the #1 which comes with two tenders, fries, special pickles, slice of bread, and Dave's sauce. You get to choose your spice level so I got one hot and one reaper. When you order the reaper you have to sign a waiver because it is so hot. I can handle hot food....habane... read more
