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

This is a new venue here in Orland Park. I was really excited to give it a try. And so glad I did! I am not exaggerating one bit when I tell you that this is the best chicken I have ever had in my entire life! No exceptions! My wife had the 10 piece nuggets with no sauce or heat. Boring but tasty. I had the two sliders w/fries. So amazing I still can't believe it! Choice of several levels of heat as well as sauces. Nice menu selections. This place can not be beat! I can't wait to go back! 

Business response:

Now that’s some high praise, Ken! Best chicken of your life? We’ll take it! Love that you and your wife both enjoyed your meals—sounds like you found your go-to spot. Can’t wait to have you back!

I feel terrible. I did not get the manager's name, but whoever the manager was that was working 2/18/25 at around 7:30p is just the nicest person ever. I came in with my two teenage kids my eight-year-old. I got them a meal each and I did not get anything because per usual my kids come first and I couldn't afford a meal that night. The manager came up to me and asked me where my food was. I told him I'm broke.. and it's really ok I wasnt hungry...he proceeded to ask me what I wanted. I told him no that's not necessary. He s... read more

First time eating at A Dave's Hot Chicken. it won't be my last. The Chicken was very tasty and quality white meat chicken. Choice of spice levels was excellent. I went with 1 hot and 1 very hot. they aren't lying it's very hot. The best part of the experience was the excellent customer service. it's getting harder to find these days but the cashier was very knowledgeable and really took time to explain all the levels to us. great overall experience 

Business response:

Sounds like you had a first visit! Glad you enjoyed the heat levels and awesome customer service. Hope to see you again for round two!

My students said to give this place a try. We like Cane's and this was very comparable. I felt the flavor of the chicken and sauce was fantastic. Angél thought Fry the Coop was better. Staff was well prepared for the Friday night rush - will be going back soon - Go Griffins! 

Business response:

Glad your students sent you our way! Awesome to hear we stacked up well. Looking forward to your next visit—Go Griffins!

I love Dave's usually and have been to the Schererville , Indiana location several times. However, today our food was not good at the Orland location. I ordered through the app. I ordered a 10 piece medium cauliflower tender bites and was given a few pieces of chicken instead of cauliflower. Also the 10 piece had hardly any medium flavor. I could not taste it at all. I was extremely disappointed. My fiance liked his hot cauliflower tender bites but also said they were lacking sauce on several pieces. The staff is extremely... read more

Great food great service. I really liked the flavor of the hot chicken. I got sliders. They were great. I'm going to go up a heat level next time. I also got their Hi C Creme slush, loved it! Highly recommend .

The food was good. The chicken has a very good flavor, only wish it wasn't so dry. The "Dave" sauce is very tasty. The prices are pretty high for just a single chicken tender on a bun. Definitely overpriced. 

Business response:

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the flavor of the chicken and Dave’s sauce, but we’ll share your comments about the dryness and pricing with the team as we work to improve the overall experience.
