About Dave's Hot Chicken

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... More

Great service and welcoming staff, good was good, it’s chicken, different spice variations of it, have yet to try the Mac and cheese, solid for what I expected, Dave’s sauce is a must to dip into

Wasn't bad. Also wasn't good. Just ok. My order most have been prepared wrong because I got extra hot and it was just salty. Maybe a 1/10 spicy. I don't understand the two pieces of white bread ha. Fries might have been the best part. Crispy and seasoned.

1st time and likely last time at this franchise. If salt is the primary flavor on all your food, ya might be a mid food franchise. I'm sure there were other flavors if you ignored the salt, but ill be darned if you can taste them without a lot of effort. Also what's with the CC payment 'Tip screen' for a basic to go order? Can we all just agree this isn't cool and take some sort of stand? I already get a 8.25% tax from simply using money and you want me to put up another 15% 20% ? For simply saying 'hello'? Coming from a place that sells a 9 dollar milkshake and $ 2.50 bottle of water? Come on now... the bottle water costs you .02 cents each.. maybe .03? Also, waiting 10 minutes for some french fries and salty chicken nuggets is crazy. I included a picture BEFORE I got my to go order.

My husband and I loved this place , they serviced and experience and everything that you could imagine…. It definitely makes up for the price cause with two people are you are going spend like $30 or more but it’s totally worth it ….

They’re charging a higher price than the price posted, acting all stupid and telling me with an attitude “I don’t know I don’t set the price” when I asked how come the posted price is different than the price being charged. No posted signs about prices being different. As a customer, I expect to pay the price advertised. It’s not about the $0.50 extra it’s about the principle - if I was $0.50 short they wouldn’t let me place the order either. The advertised price should be respected.
