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.

Reviews
I also liked the variety of flavors and spice levels, which makes it easy to find something that fits your taste. If you enjoy chicken, you’ll definitely appreciate the menu options.
It’s a solid spot, and while it wasn’t a perfect five-star visit for me, I would still recommend giving it a try.
I finally had the chance to visit the new Dave’s Hot Chicken in Waldorf, and it did not disappoint! As a local who drove down 301 on Sunday specifically to try this new spot, I was immediately impressed.
Atmosphere & Service
The moment I walked in, the atmosphere was fantastic—super clean with vibrant colors and great artwork that really brought the place to life.
I was greeted by Jada, who deserves major praise!
Since this was my first visit, I had questions, and Jada was incredibly informative and helpful. She took the time to walk me through the menu, recommend different combos, and even suggested specific condiments to try with the hot chicken sandwich. She also shared some great “gems” about their unique drink variations. Her customer service truly elevated the experience.
The Food
I didn’t have to wait long for my order, and the food itself was spot on. I got the Hot Chicken Sandwiches(mild & medium) and the French Fries. Everything was cooked perfectly: the chicken wasn’t too spicy and wasn’t over-seasoned—it was done just right.
I will absolutely be returning and am already telling my friends and family to stop by Dave’s Hot Chicken in Waldorf!
Keep up the great work!
This was a complete disappointment and easily the worst experience I’ve had with this restaurant. For a business that primarily sells chicken sandwiches and chicken tenders, serving food with virtually no seasoning is unacceptable.
The quality did not match the price, the presentation, or the expectation that this restaurant sets. I regret this purchase and will not be returning.
Most definitely will be coming back!
My main issue is the service with the team here . The young ladies always seem to have a rude attitude and lack communication skills. There’s no reason for any attitude on multiple occasions while picking up food or ordering food. If there will be rude service , At least make sure my food is made warm and timely. This is ridiculous and This location can do better 100%.
Bathrooms could be cleaner too but I can understand as it was rush hour.
So why 3 stars? 1: Their combos don’t come with drinks? That or I got charged extra. 2: They upcharged me for cauliflower …. which costs less than chicken. I wouldn’t have minded paying the same price, but there’s no way to justify jacking up the price for something everyone knows costs less. I’d love to go back, but $18.32 is a bit high for a medium fries, medium soda, and about $0.50 worth of breaded cauliflower.
Tasted great though!
