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 JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

Here's my review on this great fast food restaurant. for starters the food was great very crispy and spicy (they live up to their name) the service was great. Their workers were nice we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. the mood was really cool with cool graffiti on the walls, the toledo mud hen mascot, and toledo walleye mascot on the wall. overall this place is great i would definitely recommend taking a stop here if you're craving chicken
Great food just a long wait but overall a good experience and food and drink just kinda sad that the slushie machine was down

Been eating here since the day before they opened, let me tell you it's AMAZING! I've been waiting so long for Dave's to come to Toledo because I used to eat it all the time and michigan. I always get hot/extra hot and if you combine the sauce with the honey it's incredible. The price is worth it to me and the portion sizes are pretty good.
Business response:
Love the dedication! Hot/extra hot with the sauce and honey is a next-level combo. Glad Toledo finally got a DHC for you—appreciate the support!
Really cute place. Reeper needs a signature for reason! It's that hot! I think their food is full of flavor and worth the trip. Staff is super friendly as well... I do recommend!
Business response:
Respect for taking on the Reaper! It’s no joke. Glad you enjoyed the flavor and the friendly vibes. Hope to see you back for another round!
The food is very tasty. The choice of Heat for your chicken is funny to read. It is also funny how this place is set up for placing orders. Three stars for being incredibly expensive for chicken.
Business response:
We’re glad you enjoyed the food and had some fun with the heat levels! We understand your concerns about the pricing and appreciate your feedback as we continually work to improve the experience.
No doubt 5 stars. Sandwiches were incredible and the fries were seasoned well and crispy. Don't let the term "sliders" on the menu confuse you...these are pretty much full sized sandwiches. You really can't beat the prices for the quality.
With the recent opening, we have seen frequent lines out the door. We got lucky and there was a short line so we tried it for dinner. The service and wait were fine but a little disorganized set up for ordering and pick up and which register for cash vs cards. The chicken itself was tender, juicy and high quality. The coating is very crispy and it came out hot temp. The seasoning on the fries was beyond salty and I could not eat them. The medium sliced chicken wasn't spicy, just incredibly salty. The Cole slaw was ok, not to... read more
Business response:
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear the chicken itself met expectations, but we’re sorry to hear about the overly salty fries and any confusion with the setup. We’ll take your comments to heart as we work to improve. If you’d like to give us more details, please reach out to us at dhcfeedback.com. Thank you for helping us get better!
We've heard about DHC for years, and it's great to finally enjoy it in Toledo. With wonderfully trippy graffiti on the walls, an open seating area, and surprisingly friendly and happy staff, the vibes are legit - as is the food! We'll try mild next time, because everything above, while delicious, is too hot to enjoy more than a few bites. And if you're not familiar, this type of chicken's heat is cumulative. You think you're fine a few bites in, and then some point, you start to fear for your life. My only complaint is ar... read more

Excellent art, and some of the best overall ambiance I've experienced in a fast food or fast casual restaurant. That's a good reason to come back all by itself. I sat on a bench against the wall towards the back, and I felt like I was away from the bright lights and chaos of the main sitting area, somewhere that I could relax. Chicken was quite good. The first time I got it on Doordash and it was still good even after getting a bit colder on the ride over. Second time, I got it in person, and it was even better hot and cris... read more
