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

First time coming here. We got the mild chicken bites with a side order of Cajun fries and Mac and cheese. We also got hot chicken tenders and they were pretty spicy, not like down south spicy, but they still had a kick. The chicken had good flavor and the food came out quick

Dave's Hot Chicken delivers bold flavor and juicy, perfectly cooked tenders every time. The heat levels let you choose your own adventure -- from no spice to "Reaper" fire. The seasoning is crave-worthy, and the sliders with the soft bun, pickles, and Dave's sauce are a must-try. Fries are crispy and well-seasoned, and the service is always friendly and fast. Whether you're into mild heat or full-blown spice, Dave's hits the spot. Definitely one of the best hot chicken spots around!

Everyone has been so excited to check out the newly open Dave's Hot Chicken location in Newington. They have been open for a few months now, and we finally made it since the hype is dying down and there were spaces in the parking lot. First off, when you walk in it's spacious, felt very open, and the fun textures, graffiti artwork, and decor made this franchise stand out against other chicken fast food chains. Luckily, we arrived at a time where it wasn't so busy. We took our time with the menu and the staff were very frien... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken was delicious, crispy, and extra spicy The service was quick and friendly. I ordered online and the food was ready within 10 minutes. I got the 2 sliders with fries which I thought would be small but the slider tenders are MASSIVE! They must give you 2 pounds of chicken and a good half pound of fries. The chicken is the right amount of crispy, juicy, and delicious. The sauce for the fries is actually not hot but a tangy chipotle aioli. I like heat so I got Hot and Extra Hot. I'd say Wings Over is st... read more

It was a very colorful place! The menu is chicken tenders and sliders. They have different sides but this time we only got fries. I got mild and my DH got hot. We both think we could go up in spicy level. It wasn't as bad as we thought. The fries were spiced and yummy and crispy! I do love crinkle cut fries! The tenders are HUGE! I could only get through one. Even reheating them in the oven was good. I think we met the manager there he was super nice. It gets busy, so if you don't like crowds got either early or late. We we... read more

Ohhh my allah albarrr. Best chicken I had since back from my India trip. The flavorfull chicken just busts in my mouth after bite after bite! So juicy, the bread was good and fries had seasoning! I got the tender and slider combo which was like around 12 bucks. Not too long of a wait on Saturday around 3:00pm but once it became 4:00 a lot of people start coming all over the place. Still not bad. Overall very good chicken and sauce! Better then what one of my wife's make. Will definitely be back after my trip to Dubai!
