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.

First and likely last time going there. I ordered the two piece tender meal hot, but I’m almost certain I got extra hot or reaper because it was borderline inedible. I thought maybe I was being a baby about the spice level so I had someone who eats spicy food (and habaneros as a snack) try them and he agreed it was definitely way above a hot spice level and said it burned his taste buds. Also, I’m not a huge mayo fan, but the amount of mayo was laughable.

Our first visit to Dave’s Hot Chicken in Apple Valley, MN was impressive. The lobby was spotless, and the staff were super friendly, taking time to explain the menu to us newbies. One thing to note: their chicken portions are not small. Don’t let the word “slider” fool you; one sandwich easily fills you up.
As for the heat levels, tread carefully. If you usually like it hot, go one level below your normal choice. I ordered “Very Hot,” and it was HOT. I can usually handle that level, but their seasoning packs extra fire. The flavor was fantastic, and the spice had real depth without just being burn.
Highly recommend trying it out. Hopefully, they expand into central Minnesota soon, it’d be a welcome addition.

I loveeeeee Dave’s! But this experience at this Dave’s was pretty sub par. Customer service was not great. They were distracted and all over the place.
I order the saucy bites and I just would not waste your time on them. They are not worth the price and the staff didn’t fully sauce them either.
I will be back because I love the sliders and tenders but I learned to not stray away from what works.

This is my second time at this location and it hasn’t disappointed me yet. I was the only car in the drive thru line and it took a little while to get my food but they gave me extra Dave sauce and extra honey packets which made up for it!

We ate lunch here at noon on a Sunday in July 2025. This is a small place with counter service. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. I got an order of the hot bites which was 10 small boneless white meat nuggets, a slice of white bread, French fries and dill pickles. They also offer 7 levels of spice and I chose HOT which was very good. I would like to try very hot next time but I think the reaper level would be too much for me. The fries were crinkle cut, crisp outside and fluffy inside, with a light sprinkle of spice mix on them. They were great! The chicken was hot and juicy and I really enjoyed them.
This was a very enjoyable experience.

My husband love the spiciness! They’re not joking about the carolina reaper, it sure is spicy. Smoking hot! If you love spicy chicken, this is the place to go. We ordered it on the app, picked up inside and we ate inside. Just ask for napkins if they forgot to give you.

Genuinely the best food I’ve had in a while and for fast food this stuff hits the spot. My friends and I always have a good time and staff help so much. 67/10 would recommend

The chicken was good, the fries were good. In my opinion this placed is very overhyped. For myself I got a #2 and a drink and it was $20. The drinks are purchased separately ♂️. Also 2 strips at the place and fries are $12, so if you coming with the family make sure you are prepared to spend money. The inside decor is nice, bathrooms were clean, staff was super friendly. But the price is a turn off for me. Welcome to America. I would come back if I am in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for this place.

Had an awesome experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken. The chicken was insanely crispy on the outside and super juicy inside — easily some of the best hot chicken I’ve had. The spice levels are actually legit too (medium has a kick, and hot definitely means HOT ), but the flavor is still there, not just heat for the sake of it.
The sliders were stacked, the fries were perfectly seasoned, and the sauce ties everything together. Portions are big for the price, so you definitely get your money’s worth.
Staff was friendly, service was quick, and the whole place had a chill, fun vibe. Perfect spot for a quick bite or late-night food run.
Definitely coming back.

One of my favorite spot for spicy fried chicken. It is the only spot where I can feel the heat. Thank you! Only complaint is that this location does not put much slaw on the sliders.
