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.

Dave’s has moved to my #1 chicken place. Behind Popeyes, KFC and the pits of despair Chic. Holy chicken does this place have some lip smacking food!!
I was keeping an eye on this place as it was being built. Then today my wife and I decided to try it. We couldn’t be more happy with it. Not a overly complicated menu. Besides the chicken, they have some interesting shake options.
I went with the Dave’s 2 sliders and fries. While my wife went for the 2 tenders. They offered upcharges for cheese for the frys and Mac and cheese instead of the fries. Of course we did both. She got mild and I got medium.
I knew nothing of how they do their chicken, and I’m glad I didn’t check. Just an absolutely gorgeous dry rub and fried to perfection. The spices and herbs are out of this world. Just completely different from anything I’ve had before. The medium and mild were very distinct, but didn’t take away from the taste. The fries are your average crinkle cut with some nice flavors. The Mac was extremely good. Tasted like a touch of their rub spices. Very creamy and delicious.
The atmosphere was very appealing. Graffiti and bright colors. There was someone cleaning up right when people left. The bathrooms were spotless and not sketchy looking.
Over all, we will be back. The people taking the orders were very helpful and welcoming. Will definitely be recommending Dave’s to everyone!!
And thanks to Rowshan A. who just took our order for our second visit!!
EDIT: We cant stop ourselves from going there. I took my son tonight for dinner. He is now hooked on it!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

This place was incredible came in at about 5 so dinner time roughly it was busy but the staff handled it extremely well. I got the #3 which was a sandwich and a tender with fries for $15 cannot complain as that’s the price for most fast foot places for a standard size meal. My girlfriend got the #4 was just a sandwich and fries the wait was no longer than 10 mins and the food was spectacular. it was busy so we took it to go however it was still extremely fresh by the time we got home. Just the crunch from the first bite you can tell all the chicken was brined day of at latest it was so fresh and crispy with an actual thick nice piece of chicken cooked to absolutely perfection! The fries are seasoned in i don’t know what but they even had just the right amount of flavor and kick and was very crispy would absolutely highly recommend and absolutely will be back very soon this place blows out all of the nearby competition. We absolutely need more places like this in Hamburg especially with there hours of operations. Highly recommend and highly satisfied

Took my beautiful woman out on a date here for both of our first times and we both were extremely impressed. Such a great environment with beautiful artwork all over. Everyone was super friendly and supportive. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was top notch. 10/10 recommend. Love places like this one

The food was OK. Dave’s sauce was really good. Fries were kinda soggy. I’m not a fan of the dry rub on the chicken, but that’s not the issue here. The dining room was DISGUSTING. Every table and chair was dirty. The floor was extremely dirty. The floor mats were filled with old food that was stepped on throughout the day. The windows and doors had finger prints all over them. The bathrooms were super dirty. All this while the employees were just chilling behind the counter.

Dave’s Hot Chicken, Hamburg, NY: The portions are way bigger than anticipated. When they say slider, they mean a full-on sandwich, not a tiny bite. This is not a “sample.” This is a commitment. Even the two-piece tenders are much more than you’d expect.
The chicken seasoning is exactly how hot chicken should taste, and the Dave’s sauce is absolutely to die for. Adding honey on top seals the deal; sweet, spicy, life-changing behavior. Even their fries are on point!
We ordered mild because we didn’t know what we were getting into with the spice level and honestly, we were very glad we did. We like spice, but we were also out shopping and this was a wise, responsible decision.
My son and husband ordered Dave’s #1 (two tenders with fries), and they couldn’t even finish it which is unheard of in this house. I had Dave’s #4 (one slider with fries), and let me be clear, that slider showed up like it had something to prove.
They take your order, hand you your receipt, and give you a buzzer so you wait like a hopeful contestant until it goes off and you’re called up to the counter to claim your prize.
Just a heads-up: the meals don’t include drinks, but they do come with fries, pickles, and their signature Dave’s sauce. All delicious and absolutely necessary for survival.
The interior is clean, friendly, and has a cool old-school graffiti vibe that makes you feel like you’re somewhere between a street mural and a very happy food coma. If you are an 80’s/90’s child, you will appreciate this theme; it takes you back down memory lane.
Bottom line: Popeyes, KFC, and Chick-fil-A officially have some serious competition. Come hungry. Leave full. Possibly need a nap and maybe plan your spice level around your errands

All my co-workers have raved about this place so I went today. I walked into the Hamburg (McKinley Pkwy) location for the first time and 3 workers were standing by the counter talking, Not even 1 worker acknowledged my existence as I walked in. Not knowing anything about the place or how to order I stood there for about 5 minutes. I turned my head and seen 2 kiosks so I started to order food. As soon as I was done placing my order a couple walked in they greeted and a different employee took their order. After about 10-15 mins of waiting they gave me my bag of food. When I got home everything was upside down and covered in sauce and the extra sauce and recipe was soaking on the bottom of the bag. Not a very good experience for the first time and I’m not sure I would go back. A lot of money for a mess.

Why do they ask for a tip at checkout? They aren’t delivering food to the table. They aren’t even cheerful. Shouldn’t be an option to Tip.
Tips aside when I asked for reaper I was told to sign and date what I thought was the receipt but was actually a waiver for how hot it is.
If you know how hot the Blazin sauce is at BWW, the reaper here is 3 times hotter. Its not just a sauce. They dust the chicken in chili powder.
Sandwich or as they call it “slider” was amazing. Worth the $8.
I just wont get the reaper ever again.
The 15 minute wait seemed long and them handing you a buzzer is awkward. Just call out numbers or use an APP. The buzzers are unsanitary.
I will return.

Delicious. Good portion sizes.
Macaroni and cheese and milkshakes are very good.
Hot Chicken – And if you’re looking for food that’s *actually* very spicy this is the place to go!
I have a stupid high spice tolerance (For reference, I add Tabasco to my hot wings and still think they are too mild), so it’s hard to find food that I actually consider nice and hot spicy.
Tried the chicken slider extra hot, good flavor with a bit of a kick.
Also got a reaper level chicken tender. And no joke it is very hot. I absolutely loved it! Only bit of criticism is all of the spice on the outside makes the breading dry, so I suggest adding some of the sauce to make it perfect. It is significantly hotter than the extra hot, and not for beginners.
Both of the chickens were juicy with crispy breading.
Employees were very friendly.
Restaurant was clean.
Suggestion to management: please put a coat hook up in the restroom.
