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

Service was great, friendly and quick turnaround. However, I believe I had different expectations of the chicken. Instead of being presumably fried. It was coated like shake and bake in a seasoning that tasted like blackening seasoning for seafood. If that sounds appealing to you, then great, you may really like it. The chicken tenders were large and fires were ample, with the same seasoning on them which was delicious and much better fit than for the chicken. No dedicated parking others then the online pickup unlike the oth... read more

Aww we are so glad that you enjoyed your meal and that we were able to create a memorable experience for you. We hope that you come back again soon!
First time trying this spot. I started off with the medium. It had a lil bite to it but not too hot. I'd like to try the next step up to see how much of a difference the spice factor would be. My favorite was thr loaded fries. The bite size chicken was perfect. They did a good job on the cauliflower bites.

Delicious fried chicken- perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I got the medium spice but could have gone hotter, will try hot next time. Love the crinkle cut fries! And the sauce is everything!! This sauce is perfect, even has a hint of sweetness. Got it delivered so didn't visit inside the restaurant. It was still fresh when delivered.

We LOVE Dave's Hot Chicken! We went the first week or two after they opened the Wesley Chapel location and the service was just as good then as it was last night. The food is always hot and is ready fairly quickly, even on busy nights. It's like an open concept dining space with concrete floors so it can be a little loud when they're busy but they also have a little patio with umbrellas! We ate at the restaurant last night so these photos are what we took home. I got their 2 sliders meal with fries and medium spice. The sli... read more

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!
Really mid. Going up against the other chicken palaces in Wesley Chapel (unofficial chicken capital of the world), this place is not one I would recommend or return to. It's akin to Nashville hot chicken with sweet/spicy dry rubs. The chicken tenders were HUGE so don't be put off by only being able to order 2. However the portion of sauce given is seriously lacking for how dry these are. I had to use a lot of honey and still felt like I was coughing it down. I opted for slaw which was tasty, but nothing to write home about. ... read more

Another chicken spot, but it did not disappoint! It was actually surprisingly good. The price was reasonable for 2 burgers (they call them sliders) and fries for $14. Can work for 2 adults. Added one drink and a side order of a tender for our toddler. The spice level can be picked and the "medium" was reasonable. I don't very spicy and it was manageable, very tasty. It is cumin forward in the dry seasoning on the chicken and reminiscent of Indian dish spices. Love it! The chicken was crispy and particular because there are... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken was a nice Friday night getaway with the family! Having a newborn, their patio seating was great for those looking for fresh air and ample space for baby carriages. This is a fast food concept, order at the counter and pick up at the counter when they call your order. Love that they have a scale of heat for the sauces. If you love spicy like me, don't settle for hot (because it wasn't spicy IMO) and go for extra hot instead :)
