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

I had the pleasure of trying at Dave's Hot Chicken in Fairfax, and I have to say, it was a dope experience! The chicken sliders were absolutely fantastic - great flavor, perfectly cooked, and incredibly filling. They truly hit the spot! The service was fast but not to fast which makes me think they really make things fresh and the staff's hospitality made me feel right at home. It's clear that they take pride in ensuring every guest has a top-notch experience. The place itself has a unique and vibrant decor that really stan... read more

Customer service is very friendly. Was immediately greeted upon entering the store. Got the tenders extra hot and the slider was regular hot. The extra hot tenders definitely had a slow building kick due to the spicy dry rub. The heat definitely lingers but it is not unbearable. The hot slider was a much more approachable level of heat. Both entrees come with their house sauce and pickles and they also offer hot sauce and honey. I will be back to try their reaper spice,...eventually.

If you're a fan of crispy and spicy fried chicken, look no further than Dave's! My wife and I swung through for a post-gym gym treat, and Dave's Hot Chicken did not disappoint. I ordered the double slider with fries option, one Medium and one Hot to get a feel for the spice levels. Hot had an initial kick that mellowed out after the first few bites, so if you're borderline, it might be time to take a risk and give that spice a shot! The medium spice level was delightfully warming, allowing the fully flavors of the spices to... read more

Welcome to Fairfax City. Tasty and delicious chicken sandwiches. Depending on how crazy you are, you get to pick the heat scale desired. The younger me likes that, the current one is mild. Even then lots of flavor, and a little bit of tasty spices. Fries work well too. How's the service? Extremely good! Thank you to the nice folks here. They certainly make you feel welcome, and are very efficient. This is for a new restaurant location, very organized and past the beta testing ground. If you have a good appetite, this will ... read more

Delicious and juicy chicken! I wish it was crispier, but the overall slider was tasty. The fried chicken was huge, and the combination of a soft potato bun, chicken, pickles and Dave's sauce was amazing. Sadly, the slaw was bland. The other disappointment was the mac and cheese. It tasted like a frozen mac and cheese. Not great. The fries were decent. I also tried their tenders and they were massive, but not as juicy as the slider, and not crispy. The ambiance was fine, but the music was kind of loud. The service was nice.... read more
