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.

If you want chicken this is your place! Dave's Hot Chicken is all about chicken and spice, and they do both incredibly well. If you like heat, go for the HOT it's packed with flavor and definitely delivers a kick & ahhh the honey is the perfect spread on top! We had the sliders, and they were amazing the spicy chicken with the slaw is the perfect combo. We loved it so much, we went back for another round of 10 bites! I'm already planning my next visit can't wait to try the cauliflower bites next time.

I purchased all of their basics. I got two sliders and two different flavors, medium and hot. I got two tenders with fries, medium and hot. The tenders and fries meal came out to about $13 and you had to buy a drink as well so I would say it's about $15 for a meal. In terms of portion size is not big but the food itself is good. It's not the best chicken I've ever had, but it's much better than the cheap fast food chicken. But I felt that the sandwiches were better than the tenders by themselves. I just think the chicken wit... read more

Be forewarned the Hot is hot AF but the chicken is perfectly executed juicy inside and crispy outside and absolutely worth the burn! Two is a very filling portion as the tenders are huge. The fries are crinkled and crispy. I got cheese on the side and it was a cute amount for .49. Drink is not included sadly. They are clearly cooked to order and taste just that. Inside is well appointed and clean but took it to go. Service was sufficient and hospitable enough. I would land on medium heat if I returned to really enjoy the fla... read more

Business response:

Love this review, Alicia! You nailed it—Hot definitely brings the heat, but glad the chicken was worth the burn. Sounds like you found the perfect balance with the sauce, honey, and pickle combo—solid move. Hope to see you back for that Medium heat next time!

I thought this was a decent chicken spot, inspired by Nashville chicken style chicken. Reminded me a lot of Hot Chicks down the road. I really like the decor and cleanliness of this place. It was pretty busy as well which to me means it's pretty popular The menu was simple but in a good way. I ordered the chicken tender meal which came with fries. Really good. I also ordered a strawberry shake which was just okay to me. Overall I'd recommend giving them a try. 

Business response:

Thanks for giving us a try, Shawnie! Glad you enjoyed the tenders and fries, and we appreciate your feedback on the shake. Hope you’ll stop by again for more tasty bites!

Ok all first I am no longer a fast food type of guy but this place can change my mind. Since it opened I kept seeing long lines at this place and would say to myself "if just chicken; what's the big deal". Well today the line was not bad so I dove in and orders the 2 Slider Combo "Lite Mild". In my car took a bite and immediately said to myself "this is not your regular fast food chicken slider". WOW the taste is much more than I expected; the chicken tender pieces were big and perfect; this sat in Cole slaw pickles and ... read more

Business response:

Love to hear we might’ve converted you, David! Sounds like that first bite made an impression. Hope to see you back for more sliders soon!

First time here the place is cool looks clean well maintained. Unless you are a seasoned spice enthusiast, most recommend avoiding the Reaper level. This chicken generally describe it as extremely hot, often considered one of the hottest chicken options available, with immediate, intense heat that can be overwhelming for most people, requiring a waiver to order due to its extreme spiciness; some say the heat is more of a burning sensation. Take it from me you've been warned. If you dare to sign the waiver and order a sandwic... read more

Business response:

Appreciate the spicy PSA, Hugo! The Reaper’s no joke, but we’re stoked you enjoyed the challenge and the vibe. Great tip on sharing a tender before going all in—wise words from a seasoned spice warrior!

Dave's hot chicken is a recent addition to Pembroke Pines -Iv been wanting to try it , but ended up waiting a couple months due to huge public excitement & long lines. It was delicious... different from the KFC & Chick fil A in the same plaza . This place uses large, juicy pieces covered in a " fine dust " of flavor powder on the crispy chicken. Flavors & hot scale to your taste. I opted for the 2 piece tenders with lite mild - as I am not a fan of spicy . It came with super crispy crinkle cut fries , white bread & a... read more

Business response:

Thanks for visiting, Jennifer! We're thrilled you enjoyed the crispy tenders, flavorful powder, and creamy sauce—sounds like you nailed your perfect combo. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake is definitely worth the trip back; it’s a treat! We’re glad the colorful graffiti and fun atmosphere made your experience even better. Can’t wait to see you again for another delicious lunch break!
