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

The food was great however since it's new in this location it's extremely full and there are barely any seats. The bread is also a piece of wonder bread, doesn't even look or taste toasted. Therefore I'll give it a 4/5. The food was great and the service is great they get you situated fairly quickly.

The store just opened up so it's a bit packed, but the store ran very well! Lots of workers organizing lines, serving food, and making sure the store stayed clean. Lines were long but moved pretty fast. Lots of teens! The ordering and menu were very simple! They gave a beeping thing when the food was ready. The space was really large with plenty of seating for larger groups! Even tho the store was packed, seats became available pretty quickly. Now for the food, prices were fair and portions were amazing. The white meat of th... read more

10/5 for service!!! Came here last night to try Dave's for the first time. The line was out the door even in the snow!!! I got the loaded fries with the chicken hot. I normally enjoy spice but the powder used kept flying to the back of my throat and coating it so that made everything a bit overly spicy for me. The customer service was amazing tho. My friend got her food within 5 minutes of ordering. After waiting 10 minutes I went to ask for an update and was told my order had a few more ahead of it. Not surprising as they w... read more

I've been seeing a lot of buzz about this spot and realized one literally just opened three miles from me! Made the trip in the middle of the snow storm to get my hands on some of these tendies. Walked in with the plan to compare with Raising Cane's since it's basically the same concept, but there's literally no comparison. Dave's wins that competition by miles. I got a Dave's #1: Two tendies, fries, bread, pickles. I got one hot, one extra hot. The spice was nice, it wasn't uncomfortable where your mouth is burning off... read more

Great new location! Staff is friendly and welcoming in! I am so glad I don't have to travel to Brooklyn or the city for fresh Dave's Hot Chicken anymore. Juicy, crispy, and fresh!

Grand opening of Dave's Hot Chicken in Fresh Meadow's, line out the door at 12pm, went fast. Staff is very friendly, manager on deck greeting everyone and passing out menus/ answering questions. Small menu, lots of heat choices! Tenders or sliders are your options, they also have a new item, bites. Sides are fries, slaw, or Mac & cheese. I ordered the 2 tenders w/ fries $12.99 (upgraded to cheese fries for $1.50) & a single slider $7.49. I selected medium and hot, the medium was not spicy to me at all (I have a pretty goo... read more

We were soooo looking forward to ordering and trying this new place in fresh meadows. Absolute total disappointment.... The sliders are a joke. A piece of chicken the size of one piece of popcorn. It was hidden under a slop of coleslaw. My husband and son thought their food was ok. (They had hot/spicy tender sandwiches with fries). The best part of the whole thing was the vanilla shake with lucky charms in it. This place is absolutely nothing special and for $70 for three measly orders, we will not be returning.
