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

Great experience here. The ordering was quick and the young man at the register was extremely polite, helpful, and resourceful about the menu. It took a little while to get the food once ordered but it was pipping hot, fresh and very good. The topped fries, while unique, were delicious and the small order was plenty of food. The mild cauliflower was very well flavored and cooked to perfection. The two price tender meal was more than plenty and mild was little hotter than expected but still very good flavor and the bread... read more

Aww we are so glad that you enjoyed your meal and that we were able to create a memorable experience for you. We hope that you come back again soon!
No matter which location we go to, it's always a 5-star experience!! We've been to one in Florida, one in DC, and the two new locations in Virginia. The most recent one was this one near short-pump and as always the food is hot, delicious, abundant, and the staff is friendly. The artwork is always so interesting and the store itself is so clean!
Business response:
People like you are what keep us going. We appreciate the love and support. Hope to have you back soon!
I was exited to try this place I saw a lot of hype around it on TikTok and their spectacular reviews on google. For me, it was a no, sorry Dave's chicken I personally think it is way too pigmented for my taste, Fries are very good and fresh
Business response:
Apologies for any disappointment caused during your visit. We'd love to make it right. Please visit www.tellusdirect.com/DHC to share your concerns and help us improve. Thank you.
Fresh fried chicken and fries well seasoned and made to order. Modern hip vibe decor with neon lights, and painted graffiti walls. My best advice is DO NOT go over the heat level of HOT first time around so you can enjoy the full experience of flavors and textures of your meal, after that HELL'S the limit for HEAT and PAIN, the wife and I got one REAPER tender and took ONE bite before our meals BIG MISTAKE as it took 15-20 min for our souls to come back into our body's. DAMN YOU DAVE!!
Business response:
We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!
We popped in for lunch, our first visit to Dave's. Cadaisha gave us a warm and welcoming greeting. She thoroughly reviewed to menu and shared her personal preferences and explained the levels of heat we could order for our chicken. The slider was awesome, the slaw and Dave sauce put this sandwich over the top. You need to give this place a try, you will be happy you did I.
Business response:
Love to hear that, Jenna! Sounds like Cadaisha made your first visit extra special—she’s a pro. Glad you enjoyed the slider, and we appreciate the recommendation. Hope to see you back for another round soon!
Finally good hot chicken in richmond. Seems like the bad reviews are because of wait time but those kinks have been figured out. Super popular chicken spot nationwide and I'm glad richmond was lucky enough to get one! Fun and trendy atmosphere.
Business response:
Appreciate the RVA love! Stoked you enjoyed our heat and vibe—thanks for making us part of the neighborhood!
Dave's is a solid chain, love that one came into town. It's a new and popular spot, so you will probably wait. I expected this being a SoCal transplant where waiting in line for hot chicken is totally normal. Seems like many people leaving reviews don't understand the cultural hype of it. It's a new spot with new staff, be kind and patient. Or go somewhere else for flavorless chicken. If you don't like a sandwich that gets soggy quick, don't get the sandwich, it has a delicious slaw that is wet, obviously. Get the tenders ne... read more
Food is good, but be prepared for an hour wait for your meal. From what I could see, the staff in the front were very inefficient. Overall ambiance and food were great, but I don't think I will come back anytime soon unless I have a 2 hour availability in my schedule.
Business response:
That kind of wait isn’t what we want for our guests, Bella. Glad you enjoyed the food and ambiance, but we hear you—speed matters. We’ll keep working to make things more efficient, and if you ever decide to give us another shot, we hope it’s a much smoother experience.
My husband finally caved in and decided to give this a place a try after taking my son to the Barnes and Nobel across the street from here. I honestly have never heard of this place but I'm glad that the hubby pulled the trigger and got us to try this! My husband did say that even when he put the online order, the time that they said that would be ready was not ready when he arrived. He had to wait for another 15-20 mins afterwards. (I'm pretty sure that it was during their dinner rush so I can't really blame them for the e... read more
Business response:
Glad you gave us a try with the family! Appreciate your understanding about the wait—hope the whole crew enjoyed those tenders and fries. Can’t wait to see you again!
