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 ordered the Dave’s Numbers 1 and 2, splitting them between me and my son, and we both enjoyed the food! (PS, The sandwiches are definitely the way to go.) but I have to say we were a little disappointed at the lack of ranch dressing. Generally the atmosphere inside the restaurant was good, it was vibrant and felt very welcoming, eating here made me feel like I had found the perfect place to have had stopped for food, though I do admit it was quite loud inside the building which was a bummer since both me and my son would have loved to eat inside (not a fan of super loud areas), I think that issue could be pretty easily fixed if they added sound dampening on the sealing, if they did I believe the atmosphere would be perfect, it would decrease the echoes and make it 10x better. Overall a good experience but could be improved in a few areas, I’m honestly shocked that a place this good could have started in a parking lot with only 900$ and if I’m in the area again I’ll definitely stop by here.
The best and spiciest chicken! My last experience there was very good, my order was taken by Ireland and she was very friendly! Definitely recommend.
My wife got a slider and a tender. The portions are perfect. The seasoning is on point. The chicken has crunch. Fries were solid and well seasoned also. Loved the cheese sauce for dipping. Exceptional all around, can’t wait to try again.
The only complaint was my son wanted his chicken tenders to be spicy but I believe my mother probably ordered them as plain instead. But for the price and the meals absolutely plan to buy from Dave’s Hot Chicken again very soon
I want to start by saying this feedback comes from a place of genuine admiration for your brand. My comments are directed specifically toward the Vestal, NY location and are not a reflection of Dave’s Hot Chicken as a whole.
I’ve been a fan of Dave’s Hot Chicken ever since I first tried it in Boston, MA a few years ago. In my opinion, Dave’s serves the best chicken strips in the entire United States. The taste and quality have always stood out to me, even though the prices are a bit higher compared to places like KFC or Popeyes. For me, the flavor and experience have always been worth it.
Since discovering Dave’s, I’ve made it a point to visit whenever I’m in Boston. So, when I heard a new location was opening in Vestal, NY—my hometown—I was incredibly excited. I’ve been a loyal customer since opening day, often visiting once a week or more. This week alone, I’ve visited three times.
However, I feel compelled to share a concern regarding my recent visits. I’ve noticed a significant decrease in the size of the chicken tenders being served. In my latest orders, about 30–40% of the tenders were noticeably smaller than usual—well below the standard I’ve come to expect from Dave’s. While I understand that inconsistencies can happen when dealing with high volumes, this has been a repeated issue, not just a one-time occurrence.
If this continues in my future visits, I may unfortunately have to stop going to this location, despite my love for your food. I know I’m just one customer, but if others begin to notice the same issue, it could impact the reputation and success of the Vestal branch.
Please take this feedback in the spirit it’s intended—I’m a loyal customer and well-wisher who truly wants to see Dave’s succeed everywhere. I hope this concern is taken seriously and addressed promptly.
Thank you for your time and attention.
