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

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

If you like hot fried chicken this is a must try! First time trying Dave's hot chicken and was really impressed! The chicken is perfectly seasoned and has really good flavor. I ordered hot and it was perfect not too spicy where it was overbearing but overall excellent! The service was pretty quick, even with them being very busy. I would say the inside of the location was very clean the restrooms not so much so but that's a given for how busy they were. I will definitely be back because how good the food tasted!

I am a big fan of hot chicken and Daves did not disappoint! I know they are a pretty big chain but I have never tried them up to now. I did worry I might not enjoy it because they are a wide spread chain but ultimately they did everything right in my book. I got the Chicken Strip and Slider Combo in Hot. Unsurprisingly their hot was pretty hot . It definitely made me eat it slow and luckily their sides and sauce were tasty enough to keep me happy in between chicken bites. The chicken was nicely crunchy outside while tender... read more

Fries are great, shakes are average, I did not like the chicken sandwich medium spice. While the chicken is tasty and moist, the batter is overly sweet. The combo of the bun, coleslaw, sauce and pickles were not jiving together very well. The pickles taste good outside of the sandwich, but are not really the best choice for a chicken sandwich. Too sour. On the other hand, the plain chicken slider with bread sauce and pickles was ok. Strange how that worked. My wife had the chicken fries, the chicken was good, but again a f... read more
