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

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!

Loaded fries were so good. The top loaded milkshake with Oreos were tremendous. The staff was so pleasant and knowledgeable.

What an amazing new restaurant in Newington! The food was unbelievably delicious. We got sliders, tenders, fries and the cauliflower tenders. Asides from the food being out of this world, the employees were super friendly! Can't wait to go back

Ok, I'll be the first to admit it. There are a million hot chicken places now. So will Dave's stand out in the crowd? Busy but not insane. Standing in the intimidating line it only took about 10 min to place my order then another 10 min or so to get my order - not bad for a fresh opening. Service - friendly. Picture Popeyes but w Chick-fil-A standards. Menu is limited to chicken or cauliflower. Not many variations. "Meals" do not include a drink but prices are steep - they really should include a drink. Flavor - ok thes... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken in Newington has officially opened, and I am beyond thrilled that I finally got to try their signature chicken sliders with fries and a Dave's Orange Creamsicle slusher. One of the highlights of my visit was the outstanding customer service--every staff member greeted guests warmly, creating a welcoming atmosphere for those patiently waiting in line. Everything ran smoothly, and I had no complaints. I'm not the best at remembering names, but I truly appreciated how the staff made me feel welcome and even ... read more
