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.

Bobby was the absolute best from when we entered the packed restaurant. He never stopped working and making sure everyone’s food was just want they wanted. If he’s not the MANAGER then he should be in consideration owning his own restaurant. First time having Dave’s Hot Chicken and we will definitely be back. Thank you Bobby.

I tried Dave’s Hot Chicken and it was amazing!
The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor.
I went with the Lite Mild heat level, which had just the right amount of kick without being overwhelming. The seasoning was spot-on, and everything tasted fresh.
Definitely one of the best hot chicken spots I’ve been to 🙂 can’t wait to go back and try other spice levels!

Went to Dave’s Hot Chicken for the first time, and it did not disappoint! When we arrived, we had our order taken by a trainee who did an excellent job. The manager was also extremely friendly and courteous and asked each and every customer if they needed any sauce or other condiments while maintaining a genuine and amazing attitude towards all. We ordered the 4 hot chicken sliders and 2 medium tenders, and both were very good. I enjoyed the hot sliders the most, although they are on the smaller side but still delicious. The tenders were massive, but the medium just wasn’t as flavorful as the hot in my opinion but enjoyed them as well. Overall, the location had amazing decor and art, good vibes, and good food! I would definitely recommend checking them out!

I’ve been wanting to try Dave’s for a minute and I finally got the chance today! The sweet young lady who was working the drive through greeted us first and then Bobby came out and took care of us. He took the time to explain the menu, spice levels, and answer any questions we had. 10/10 for service alone. The sliders were hot and fresh! & the Mac and cheese is also flavorful yet simple. I also don’t even care for crinkle style fries but they were good. The Rock hill location and crew are amazing.

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Outstanding Customer Service!**
I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken thanks to their exceptional customer service. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, upbeat, and genuinely happy to help. The manager Sequoia greeted me right away, answered my questions about the spice levels, and made great recommendations without rushing me.
My order came out quickly, and Sequoia even checked in to make sure everything tasted good. It’s rare to find fast-casual places where the staff goes out of their way to make you feel taken care of, but Dave’s really stands out. The team was attentive, friendly, and clearly takes pride in what they do.
Great food is one thing, but great service makes the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming !

If you’re craving bold flavors and crispy, juicy chicken, Dave’s Hot Chicken is a must-visit! The chicken is always cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside and tender inside—with spice levels that cater to everyone from mild to extra hot. Their signature sliders are loaded with flavor, and the fries are crispy and seasoned just right
