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

Parking 5 Clean 5 Service friendly people The ambiance was vibrant and the spicy chicken they serve. This location firming the holidays they give tickets for you to with extras (we didn't but you could) It is easy to get to and the wait was about 15 minutes start to finish. The loaded fries gives you the option to really taste everything they offer in one dish. You get the fries with cheese sauce and slaw the chicken has a sweet sauce (maybe honey) with the Dave sauce! I liked it but wish my fries were cooked longer so the... read more

New hot spot in town that is a favorite for a lot of folks who have tried Dave's Hot Chicken in other states. Expect a bit of a wait if you're walking in. For me, I ordered online and got my food in 10 minutes. I skipped the line and picked it up. This is an excellent way to treat yourself to Dave's Hot Chicken while the wait is long. Most importantly, the chicken slider I ordered was just as good as I remember it. Flavor packed a punch and hit the spot. The secret is in the bun, Dave's sauce, different levels of spice, and... read more

What's up with these different chicken craze restaurants? New twist but same service across the visit. I didn't get any overwhelming desire to revisit. I will but not going to rush back. PDQ was down the road and didn't make it. I thought they did a better job. If you don't want to tip in a fast food establishment you need to be aware to hit "other" after the tip % line.

Great chicken made to order. Expect to wait about 30 minutes during peak lunch and dinner rush. Chicken was fresh and full of flavors. I ordered 2 sliders with fries and no complaints. See you soon.

Best hot chicken sandwich in Wake Forest - trust me, I've tried them all! I placed an order online and picked it up quickly, no need to wait in line. Inside the restaurant was clean and orderly; the employees were kind and helpful. The chicken was quality and delicious- our family will be back!

This place started off strong, the food is amazing when it's correct and hot. Recently the last 3-4 times we went they messed up everything. The cooks in the back are just not paying attention to orders coming in and should be retrained asap. I have been going to daves since they opened in LA. This is not a proper daves and needs to be addressed.

took me 30 minutes to get food and was expensive, the workers there also yelled out orders very aggressively and I felt threatened a bit, food was amazing just bad experience

I'd give zero stars if I could. We waited over 30 min for some overpriced chicken tenders, fries, and Mac n cheese. There was almost no flavour despite getting the "medium" spice. Brett, before you chime in to say "we're so sorry that we fell short, we'll make sure to pass on to the team. Please reach out to our feedback website" maybe read the dozens of other reviews on here basically saying the exact same thing that I just typed. Y'all need to do better.
