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 hype is not real -- it's a cheaper version of haven hot chicken -- the foods ok if you want cheaper food than haven hot chicken but it's definetly nothing to go back to -- been there done that -- basically the McDonald's of chicken

Last Friday and Saturday, I decided to visit the new Dave's Hot Chicken in Milford, CT! I had seen so many videos on my instagram feed of this place & many of the patrons eating big portions of hot chicken, fries and a signature sauce that looked interesting. On Friday's visit, it was less busy & I ordered online to pick up. It did take a good amount of time to get done. When I walked in to get my order I noticed it was clean and very new! I got the tender + slider, fries and Mac and cheese. Combos comb with a slice of white... read more

This place is great. The food was really good, the service was great, and the ambience overall is very nice. I recommend this place if you like spicy chicken and are looking for the next level.
Great experience at this location of Dave's hot chicken. Staff verified halal chicken is served at this location. The website also mentions the chicken is certified halal. Nice location overall, enjoyed the food

Thanks for dining with us! Glad you enjoyed the food and appreciated our commitment to serving halal options!
I'd say the food is just average and definitely not worth the 45 minute wait. That's right I waited in line to order for approximately 10 minutes and then it was 45 minutes until my food was ready. This was at 2:00pm on a Friday afternoon. The Mac and Cheese is average at best. It tastes like a box Mac and cheese. The chicken has a decent breading and is cooked well. The medium sauce was a miss for me. It wasn't spicy at all and had somewhat of a sweet taste. I didn't care for it. The fries were excellent. Da... read more

Sorry about the long wait and that the flavors missed the mark. We’d love to hear more at dhcfeedback.com.
I was super excited to find out this had opened up in CT, I've heard many people rave about it from other areas. I visited on their 2nd day of being officially opened & grabbed it to go, as it was just too busy for me at that time. The staff did their best to be friendly & provided good service overall. The space is bigger than you'd think & they have a lot of graffiti/artwork all over the walls, looked pretty cool. I went with the 1 slider, 1 tender, & fries meal. I also ordered a side of their Mac & cheese, because I wa... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken finally came to Connecticut so you know had to check them out. My son and I were spending time together so we decided to grab something to eat while we were out. Today was Dave's Hot Chicken grand opening and the parking lot was packed. As we pulled up to the establishment, we saw that line was long but we still went in. We were greeted by the door as soon as we entered and we were given a menu. It was great idea to give out menus while waiting in line because everyone could choose what they wanted befor... read more
