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

Food was simply amazingly awesome and service was impeccable can't wait to visit again soon. Charles and I are tight now and the food was prepared faster than the speed of light. Walking out of the door brought a sort of sadness to my heart but It will be restored next time I come

Finally tried the news Dave's Hot Chicken! I was excited to try this spot as this was the first Dave's in Hartford County. Honestly, I think some of the local CT hot chicken spots are better. Good prices for the amount of food. Bummed that they don't have ranch as a dipping option. Their signature sauce it s a bit too sweet for me and more like a thousand island.

My sister asked me. If I will pick her up. Dave's hot chicken. She requested Dave's 10 piece bites. She requested the "reaper". When I paid for the chicken. The cashier said. I need you to sign a waiver. I was like "what". I signed it. My sister touched the chicken bite. She finally took a bite. She said it was juicy. It's a flavor bomb in her mouth. She looked at me. She said this chicken is hot. I tried the pickle. My face immediately began to sweat. The cashiers were very friendly. Great quality customer service. When I ... read more

Whether it's the mild heat for younger tastebuds or the bold spices for little daredevils, Dave's nails it every time. The tenders are juicy, the seasoning is spot-on, and the crin... read more

Had to try it!! With all the chicken spots, I had to compare and I gotta say Dave's hot chicken slider is a good one! Chicken is crispy, juicy and flavorful. The pickles, sauce and coleslaw give it the right touch. Fries were crispy with a light Cajun seasoning and come with a side of Daves sauce to dip in. I got the no heat chicken slider but I brought my daughter and her friend and they were determined to try the "reaper". It's known to be the hottest chicken on the menu and I even had to sign a waiver for them to try it! ... read more
