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

Chicken was good. They were stingy on sauce. One small sauce for 3 large chicken tenders. We door dashed so not real sure about service there.. just disappointed with the fact that you have to pay for extra sauce. And they're tiny containers.

OH boy! My mouth is salivating as I'm writing this review! Having been working out and about on a Friday and trying to figure a lunch spot I asked a coworker if he had been. Having been a new location we both decided to check it out. I was surprised to spend about $27 on a lunch as it seemed too steep but after seeing the huge portions and how it easily becomes two meals, I guess you get what you pay for. I ordered the sliders combo and loved every bite. The food was overflowing and it was enough for a second meal which wa... read more

As a vegetarian, I will admit to being curious about all these delicious chicken sandwiches that are out these days. Well, Dave's got us veggie people covered. The breaded part of the cauliflower sandwich is so crispy and not at all greasy. I got the mild sauce. The bun? So darn good. Soft, tasty and literally hugs the contents when you squish it a little to take that first bite. The dipping sauce for the fries has a little spicy-sour kick to it and the fries are somewhere close to crispy, but still soft. The extra cup of ... read more

I've been on a recent quest to explore all the chicken spots in the Reno/Sparks area and this one came up on the list! Absolutely love the atmosphere of this place, the color of the wall decor pops and the menu is simple & easy to pick from, yet still many options to come back and try something new every time! Swung by around 10pm, always love a good late-night spot! Took my #3 order (Tender & Slider) to-go and everything stayed clean & consice in the box, just the right amount of sauce for the flavor without a mess. Ove... read more

3 Stars only because the service here is great!. The cashiers are nice shout out Aubree and the manager seems to care as she walks around asking if we enjoyed our meal and if we need to go boxes she would grab them for us. I've been wanting to try this place a long time since I've heard about it all over tik tok YouTube and even some friends in town say they love it here! Today we got a slushie and a chicken sandwich with a chicken strip. I just think I'm not a fan of the overall chicken they use. I think the flavor is there... read more

We had such a great experience at Dave's Hot Chicken in Sparks! The vibe of the place is so fun and energetic. From the graffiti-style wall art to the bold neon signs, it really gives off a cool street-food-meets-modern-diner feel. Ordering was quick and easy, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We tried the sliders with crinkle-cut fries, and they were absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy with the perfect crispy coating, and the spice level had a great kick without overpowering the flavor. The pickles and... read more

Overall good experience. The staff were also nice and offered to help us in our decisions for lunch after learning it was our first time there. Everything was very clean and the dining area has a really cool design. There's something interesting to look at on every wall. The loaded fries were great, but I world prefer if the fries were more crispy. And more than one chicken tender should come with the fries instead of having to purchase extras. The Mac N Cheese was good, and stayed hot. I prefer to add some pepper to mine, b... read more
