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

Nothing makes me happier than when my husband says he's bringing home Dave's for dinner! That classic, delicious chicken always hits the spot. I always go for the slider with fries, and the mac is definitely a must-try! My husband recently tried the nuggets and loved them too. You can't beat the quick service and the friendly team--always a great experience!

O M G ! This is HANDS DOWN the best chicken place that offers the chicken tender/toast/fries/coleslaw combo. So many of these types of chicken places have opened up and Dave's is the best for sure. I've tried so many and this is the only place I'll eat the coleslaw in the sandwich. It's so delicious. From the crispness to the flavor everything was divine. Definitely would recommend 10/10. The service was great as well, no complaints there and the ambiance was nice too, the place is new, looked clean and the artwork inside wa... read more

Yet another chicken restaurant in Wesley Chapel, but this is definitely up there. I stopped by a busy week night when kids were off from school, but I was still able to place my order quickly at the cashier and waited for my order at one of the tables. Cashier asked if I wanted additional Dave's sauce and other sauces when my order was ready to be picked up at the counter. There is adequate seating to accommodate a busy night, but parking outside can be a nightmare as there is limited parking in that small area outside of... read more

Wesley chapel definitely doesn't have a shortage of chicken places to choose from, with that said if you have never tried Dave's Hot chicken it's a must on your list. From the flavor to texture and moist strips. These guys know what they are doing and have managed to keep it consistent across all there locations. The service could use some help, less talking to each other and being on phones and more customer interaction and less attitude when asked questions. I sat and observed staff being irritated with being asked to do... read more

Heard quite a lot of good reviews about this chicken chain, and I was pleasantly surprised! Chicken is very crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. French fries are also very fresh, and the Dave's Sauce paired well with both chicken and fries (in my opinion) Service is very efficient. Inside is very busy and bustling, there is sure to be a line during dinner rush hour. Despite the constant flow of customers, the tables and bathrooms are clean which I appreciated.

I've been meaning to go to a Dave's Hot Chicken, and I went opening day, and again last Friday. Dave's is definitely going to be a staple in the Wesley Chapel group, the food is not the cheapest, but, no place in the area is anymore. The place is very clean and has a nice floor plan, with a very inviting theme, with fun and upbeat music. The people say hello when you walk in, and the front staff are quick to ask if you have any questions. The food itself the first time wasn't perfect, but, opening days rarely are, this tim... read more

If you want/like Spicy Chicken, look no further. The chicken is delicious and cooked crispy yet still juicy, the crunch is almost a little to much as is the spice level. Hot is HOT! If you normally eat spicy food as I do and especially chicken such as Buffalo Wings, spicy chicken sandwiches from the other places, be forewarned, the spice levels here are Next Level! IMHO Medium here is everyone else's HOT. Others I have eaten here with all mutually agreed. The portions are nice and you actually do get your monies worth. Nob... read more

The joy I had when I found out Wesley Chapel got a Dave's hot is unmatched. lol. Literally none of the fried chicken spots around here can compare. We went to another new chicken spot by the grove just before this opened and for the same price, we got maybe a third of the protein. Dave's hot tenders are HUGE. I will say, I wasn't a fan of the nuggets. We got them hot and as you can see by the photo, my sandwich and tender plate didn't even look the same as the nuggets in terms of seasoning. Honestly looked and tasted like pl... read more

Hot was really good - wouldn't want any more heat. Pretty quick service with steady flow through the doors. Tables were clean, nothing fancy.
