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

Fast service with a really clean restaurant. The chicken was juicy I got no spice but next time want to try a little or mild because no spice meant no unique flavor. The fries were tasty! Loved adding honey to the chicken and Dave's sauce was good.
Though my first time was a long wait, it was only because of the grand opening. I went a second time and the line moved quickly. Both times my food was phenomenal. The Mac and cheese is the best I've ever had and the fries just had tremendous seasoning. The chicken had the perfect crunch pairing perfectly with the sauce and cheese. I loved my chocolate milkshake. I will be returning as I live nearby.

I wanted to see what all the hype was about so I headed on down to Dave's Hot Chicken w/ my honey. It was a chill vibe when I came inside. There was music playing which I love a spot w/ music. I ordered mild chicken tenders w/ Mac & cheese. My honey ordered mild chicken tenders/sandwich w/ fries & a cheese cup. The orders came w/ pickles & Dave's special sauce. My order came w/ sliced bread. The cashier was nice & friendly. He gave me a little buzzer that will ring when my food is ready. We waited a bit for our food to come ... read more

Ordered a meal online for my wife, daughter and myself. Some thoughts. . . I had the two slider (hot) and fries combo. My wife had the cauliflower slider (light mild) and the half pint of pickles. My daughter had the slider and cheese fry combo. While I definitely tasted the heat, I didn't get much in the way of flavor from my sliders. My daughter had a similar reaction. I would say the sliders were much larger than I expected. My wife liked her cauliflower slider a lot. The fries were good - some seasoning and pretty go... read more

I was excited a Dave's Hot Chicken was opening in Milford, because I liked it so much when I tried it in Brooklyn. I went to the supermarket by my house today, but it was a zoo, so I walked right out. What a perfect excuse to eat out for lunch with my daughter and finally visit this spot. We got lucky with parking in the lot right out front. I was surprised how spacious it is inside. I love the graffiti on the walls, feels like a taste of NYC. The line went quick but the order took a bit long; it was expected with how busy... read more

Sounds like you were really looking forward to this visit, so we hate to hear it didn’t live up to your first experience. The mix-up with your order and that chewy piece definitely aren’t what we aim for. If you’re open to it, please reach out at dhcfeedback.com so we can follow up.
The hype is not real -- it's a cheaper version of haven hot chicken -- the foods ok if you want cheaper food than haven hot chicken but it's definetly nothing to go back to -- been there done that -- basically the McDonald's of chicken

We get that everyone has their favorite spot, and we appreciate you giving us a try!
Last Friday and Saturday, I decided to visit the new Dave's Hot Chicken in Milford, CT! I had seen so many videos on my instagram feed of this place & many of the patrons eating big portions of hot chicken, fries and a signature sauce that looked interesting. On Friday's visit, it was less busy & I ordered online to pick up. It did take a good amount of time to get done. When I walked in to get my order I noticed it was clean and very new! I got the tender + slider, fries and Mac and cheese. Combos comb with a slice of white... read more
