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

I recently visited Dave's Hot Chicken and had an outstanding experience! The service was amazing, with friendly staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Our food arrived quickly, despite the busy atmosphere. Seating was limited indoors, but we found plenty of spots on the outdoor patio, which was a nice option. The food itself was fantastic--piping hot, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The Dave's sauce was a highlight, reminding me of Raising Cane's but with its own unique flair. Overall, thi... read more

Delicious! My husband and I finally got the chance to try Dave's and were pleasantly surprised. I got the mini sliders in medium and my husband got the two slider meal in hot. The mini sliders come with 4 and was the perfect amount for me. They are bite sized but packed with flavor with pickles and kale slaw on a delicious, buttery, soft bun. I would say that their medium tasted more mild to me and I'll likely venture to hot next time. The crinkle fries were yummy and hot and the sauce was also good. We also tried Mac and ch... read more

It's fast food, but the chicken is good and not overly greasy. The crinkle-cut type fries aren't my favorite, but they're still solid. For the price it's a nice change of pace when I'm tired of Chick-fil-A and want something different. I like their ordering options.

Great ambiance and friendly service. I ordered the temp just above mild. Unfortunately the chicken had spices on it but had very little flavor. Maybe the hot is best and it would suit those who like it hot. I don't which could be why this place wasn't for me. Also, the coleslaw was very tasty but it had kale in it. Also not for me. While I wasn't thrilled with the food, there are many people who swear by it so give it a try at least.

I'm so glad Dave's made its way to Jax! I popped in randomly on a Tuesday and ordered the Slider/Tender combo, medium. The line was short, and I waited under 10 minutes for my food. The staff were all friendly; the restaurant was clean. The food was even better than I remembered! The one thing I will say is I'm normally a medium spice girl, but I'll probably go up to hot the next time I stop by because the medium felt more mildish. But even so, wow! The slider was phenomenal, the bun was a key player in its own right, the s... read more

The medium was the perfect hotness, it didn't burn your mouth but had tons of flavor. I wish they had blue cheese to dip in, sorry to say Dave's sauce isn't better than Buffalo and Blue Cheese. They just go better together. The kale salad was really good. The interior is vibrant with graffiti. They totally should sell tee shirts!

I resisted eating here as I honestly thought it would be too hot for me to eat nevermind that I'd heard mixed reviews about it. Once the raving died down, my coworkers talked me into ordering some to-go. I ordered the 10 pc. Dave's Bites w/ Fries (white meat chicken tender bites, crinkle cut fries, a slice of bread, pickles, and a side of Dave's sauce which is similar to thousand island dressing. I chose the medium option and the chicken still looked red when I got it. Luckily there was a mild heat so don't like that color ... read more

Based on the times that I've driven by here in the past and seen the lines way out the door..:I got lucky and was able to pop in during the lunch hour. I waited maybe 3 mins ...then I ordered. That was a big thing because I was discouraged thinking I'd never get to try this place. Now I will say nothing against the establishment but this may be the most overrated place in Jacksonville to date. The thing that stuck out to me the most, is that the "hot" in the chicken is completely the seasoning....and not the actual tempera... read more
