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.

My children live About 3 and a 1/2 hours away from me. The closest Dave’s chicken was 4 hours away and I came upon this traveling. 1 day I came in here, the staff was very polite. My food looked perfect. Everything was offered. It was in a quick manner. Sometimes I forget that hospitality and kindness is still there. Thank you for a delicious meal at a very affordable price.

I absolutely loved the chicken—spicy, crispy, and full of flavor. Both times I went, I waited over an hour, even using the app the second time, but it was completely worth it. The chicken is that good! If they could speed up the prep time, it would be perfect, but honestly, the wait doesn’t take away from how amazing it tastes. Highly recommend for anyone who loves fried chicken!

I cannot begin to express the joy that I was overwhelmed with entering Dave’s hot chicken at Poughkeepsie! The staff is so pleasant and welcoming! I love the spray paint designs on all of the walls! So creative and out of the box need to stop there and get yourself some chicken!!!

This was my first time trying Dave’s chicken. Can’t say I was impressed. It’s really chicken tenders with hot sauce on a brioche bun with Dave’s thousand island sauce. The fries were cold and the chicken was bland. Spent $23 for a small oreo milk shake and Dave #3…

The fries were great. My chicken tenders sandwich was not cooked in the middle even though I waited 15 minutes to get my meal. I dont see the hype out the place because they dont service real fried chicken.

Amazing food, service & atmosphere. They took the word hot to a whole other level. I did the hot level and it felt like reaper level! This is one of the few places I give the “atmosphere” category a 5! The paintings and drawings are extremely cool and interesting. I recommend!

The food is pretty good, the mini sliders are super mini lol but the mini sliders meal is surprisingly filling though. Pretty good. Kind of pricey, I ordered ahead of time so I didn’t have to experience the line. I’d come back but wouldn’t be my regular spot. Lol

Great food was recommended by someone who lives out of state, and to be honest I didn’t know it was a chain store until that very moment. The Fallout meal was great and worth its value. I definitely didn’t get spicy, but will in the future. This time I settled for BBQ. It’s great that they are also open late!

Visited Dave’s Hot Chicken during their soft opening and it was my first experience with the franchise.
There assuredly was some chaos in the restaurant on this first day, but I’m not going to knock them for being so popular they’re overwhelmed with patrons while still only just getting off the ground. The manager and who I believe to be the assistant manager were very attentive to the opening day issues, so I have faith that the next few days will get a little smoother.
Now as for what matters- the food. Keeping in mind that this is a fast food restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back. The flagship fried chicken options are easily the best fast fried chicken options in the area. I’d say the sides and drinks are just about okay. None of them really hit, but they certainly weren’t disappointing, just kind of standard fast food quality. That said, the fries were probably a step above average.
The restaurant itself was well branded, clean, and laid out well.They’re going to get a lot of business from IBM, Optum, and the other nearby corporate offices so I’m hoping they’ll be able to keep up with the lunch traffic.
Overall, the flagship chicken and spices are the go-to here. I do wish corporate would put more effort into drinks and sides, especially the mac and cheese, but you can’t win’em all. I’ll definitely be back and I’m glad Dave’s is a solid fried chicken option in the Hudson Valley.
