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

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

Similar to Crazy Ds, dave's hot chicken provides a classic meal with tenders/sliders with some fries. pretty good and cooked to my liking. would recommend trying out their heat selection is better then crazy ds. service was fast and easy im appreciative about that.

The service was good, It took a bit to get our food about 10 minutes. There was no line when we got there. The food was alright, but not worth the hype in my opinion. The food was fresh fries were crispy but not salted and the chicken didn't have much flavor. If I come back I'll probably get it spicier just to get more flavor.

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc?

There are a lot of chicken options in the Reno area. This is a crowded playing field with lots to compete against, but Dave's holds their own. I'm glad we stopped in for lunch. The slider, tender, and Dave's bites were all good. My wife doesn't like spice so her and the kids got no spice. I will say that most of the seasoning and flavor is in the spice, so no spice is not the best way to go. I grabbed medium and thought it was perfect. Dave's sauce is the bomb! The pickles also slap. I saw some dude throw everything togeth... read more
