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.

I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken in Albany! The chicken sandwich was absolutely incredible — perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite had that signature Dave’s kick without overpowering the taste. The mac and cheese was also solid and comforting, a decent side that paired really well with the heat of the sandwich.
The food came out fresh, the portions were satisfying, and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely one of my new favorite spots for a spicy and delicious meal. Highly recommend!

One of our brothers introduced us to Dave’s Hot Chicken, mentioning that their chicken items are halal certified. He also bought sliders and fries for us,items were absolutely delicious! He chose the medium spice level, which was perfect. The fries were also amazing, as i love seasoned fries, and with their Dave’s signature dip, they tasted incredible.
However, we didn’t notice any halal tag like other halal restaurants usually display. When asked, they explained that while the chicken itself is halal certified, not all menu items can be categorized as halal due to other offerings.
Dave’s Hot Chicken’s founding anniversary (23 Oct 2025), and they were giving out free sliders to customers. We visited their physical store for the first time in the evening and saw a huge crowd. Regardless, the slider was just as delicious as before!

This is by far my favorite fast food joint in the world. The place in Albany served great comfort food. They were not stingy at all. They loaded everything up well !! I’ve been here 2X. I plan on returning again. I always get my moneys worth here. Costs $20-$30 on occasion. The artwork on the walls and paint schemes are awesome and fun.

Crispy, juicy, and seriously spicy! ️
Tried the Medium – had a kick but still full of flavor.
Fries were crispy perfection & sauce was addictive.
Small place, big taste. Worth the heat!

The only issue i have with this place is the tight entry/exit of their location in Albany and people parking in the exit lane so they can run in and out but it blocks the ability to enter and leave. Otherwise its so good! Get extra Dave’s sauce!

Crazy positive place. Very tasty chicken, the employees are very kind and super respectful. The food was fresh and newly prepared. I love this place and recommend everyone to taste it.

Overall experience was okay. Customer service could’ve been better, the person was kind of rude but maybe they were having a bad day. The food itself was okay, they barely put any slaw in the sandwich and the fries felt dry even with the cheese

Really cool manager and employees. Chill atmosphere, clean environment and the food is amazing. Not good for empty wallets. If I had a gazillion dollars and a decently working stomach, I’d go here everyday. 9/10

My family lives down the road and I hadn’t tried Dave’s yet until my recent pickup visit. My brother frequently goes and helped me decide what to get. The inside was extremely busy and chaotic and people kept budging me as it wasn’t clear where the pickup line began. All our food was correct though and absolutely delicious. I could’ve gone without the mac n cheese but it wasn’t bad, just not my favorite. Next time I want to try their Lucky Charms milkshake
