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.

Unfortunately I played it way too safe and got light mild and regretted it, I was afraid I was gonna have another Angry Chikz episode where the “hot” flavor comes with ghost chilis. Food is still amazing though, each and every single fry was coated with seasoning which I do appreciate, sometimes you get a plain fry at some places but not here, every fry gets to stand out. Chicken is nice and crunch and packed with delicious flavors; the slaw and pickles definitely help balance the richness of everything too.

When a chain expands this quickly, the big question is whether they can maintain their quality. In this case, they absolutely delivered. The food was delicious and served quickly. The spices were great and the chicken tenders were actually tender. I’ll definitely be coming back for Dave’s again. Next time I’ll try a hotter level, because the “hot” was good but more of a warm tingle than truly fiery.

I got the hot chicken bites and they were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. There were about 10 pieces of chicken bites along with a slice of white toast. The hot level wasn’t that spicy – it was a comfortable level of spicy.

I can’t comment on the atmosphere or service inside the restaurant because I’ve only ordered online…omg we’ve ate here 3 nights in a row (dont judge us lol), our food is always hot & ready to pick up on time & soooo good,I usually get the slider with kale slaw as my side instead of fries…my son tried the loaded fries & he said they are amazing, the interaction I’ve had with staff to pick up or call was a positive & helpful experience…a definite must try.

I visited Davis Hot Chicken and tried the double slider with medium spice. The taste was really good — flavorful with just the right amount of heat. The restaurant itself was clean, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Overall, a solid spot for a spicy chicken craving!

Alrighty…
So let’s start by saying how packed this place was on a Wednesday evening…
VERY!
So much so that because we caught an appetite while shopping that we decided to check it out.
Clean establishment…
Attentive and helpful service…
Orders slow to come out because of all the orders they had between dine in, take out and 3rd party ordering apps… But I must say, it was worth the wait.
Our order consisted of a #3 (1 tender and 1 slider with fries); 1 tender which was accompanied with a slice of bread; and a coleslaw.
My son didn’t like the coleslaw which the young lady was happy to accommodate a Mac and cheese (creamy) in it’s place.
My combo 3 was made up of lite mild and medium spice level which is more well seasoned than actually with any spiciness. However the chicken was moist on the inside and crispy on the outside and not in a hard typa way either…
Next time I am going to try the hot spice level and see how that goes
We also noticed they had a cauliflower option… What was down by the registers instead of on the main menu…
My recommendation would be to add it to the menu so that people don’t miss it because it wasn’t mentioned… I would also go as far as to add some sort of chicken tender salad option and some kid-friendly options to the menu! (That would make this place a real hit!)
With that being said, obviously there will be a next time and I recommend people come on out and give it a try
Happy Eating

We ordered the number 3, which includes one chicken slider, tender, and fries. We selected hot as the level of spice. Each slider contained a hearty piece of chicken and a generous amount of light, crispy breading. The pickles were of excellent quality and had just the proper amount of acidity to go nicely with the chicken’s heat. The unique sauce is much more tangy and sweet than others.
When we next visit the area, we will most certainly return 🙂

The food is good. Sandwiches are cooked to order, so the chicken is still hot when served. Fries is good, not too crispy and not soggy. It’s good for family, friends, and for those looking for a fast food joint that’s decent. Service is alright as well.

**Review: Dave’s Hot Chicken**
I recently had the chance to try Dave’s Hot Chicken, sampling both the sliders and chicken pieces with Hot and Reaper spice levels. Here’s a breakdown of my experience:
**Spice Levels:**
One of the standout features at Dave’s Hot Chicken is their Reaper spice level, which is so intense that they require you to sign a waiver acknowledging the risk. However, for someone accustomed to the fiery heat of Andhra cuisine, the Reaper spice didn’t pose much of a challenge. It was certainly hot, but not overwhelmingly so.
**Taste and Texture:**
The chicken tenders were impressively soft and crispy. Each bite offered a delightful crunch, followed by juicy, well-seasoned meat. The sliders were equally enjoyable, with the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
**Overall Experience:**
For newcomers from South India, particularly those familiar with spicy chili foods, Dave’s Hot Chicken offers a tasty and enjoyable experience. While the Reaper might not be as intimidating for spice veterans, the quality and taste of the chicken make it worth the visit. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, adding to the overall dining experience.
Whether you’re a spice lover or just looking for delicious chicken, Dave’s Hot Chicken delivers a memorable meal.

I’ve heard a lot of great things about this place, so my expectations were very high.
Reviewing the food:
The food was good. I got 2 pieces of hot chicken with french fries, and Dave’s Special Sauce made the chicken more delicious. However, for the price I paid, it could have been more fulfilling. I’ve gone to a different spicy fried chicken joint where you get more for what your money’s worth. Also, I don’t like that they use styrofoam containers.
Reviewing the service:
This doesn’t have as much to do with the place itself, but it was really misleading for Google to say that the place is “usually not too busy” when I went. I had to wait for almost an hour for my food. And that was after waiting in line for about a half hour to order. When I finally got my food, while it was good, it wasn’t overall very satisfying given how long I had to wait.
For a place this popular, they really need to do a better job with handling a big line, especially on a Friday night when it gets really busy (which is when I went). It also doesn’t seem like they have enough people taking orders; there were just two registers. Maybe next time, I’ll just order online and get something different.
