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

I actually enjoyed the chicken sliders. I got one level of hot below the maximum and it (in my book) wasn't that hot (but I can eat HOT food so there's not much to add). My kids loved their chicken sliders and chicken poppers. The staff was friendly. There's a ton of space inside to eat. It has that cool hip vibe. I'll visit it again and try the hottest level of HOT!

I went there for the first time and had a very disappointing experience. I waited 25 minutes in the drive-thru, which is already frustrating. To make sure my order was correct, I specifically asked for no pickles, and the ticket clearly said “no pickles.” There was no confusion anywhere on the order. Yet somehow, I still received my sandwich loaded with pickles. It’s extremely frustrating to wait that long and still have such a simple request completely ignored. If the ticket clearly says no pickles, how does it still end up on the sandwich? This shows a serious lack of attention to detail and care. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, this was not a good one. Very disappointed.

First time here. Our service was excellent. Elijah P. Went above and beyond helping us order. The food was excellent. So glad we came by. The restaurant was clean and very creatively designed. We will be back!

So my son is on the HOT chicken journey. There are New to Fresno and they have a waver that you have to sign for the flame sauce for The chicken.so we got just extra HOT chicken. Chicken was fresh and juicy the sauce was so tasty.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Andrea · Feb 2026

The food was good and the chicken was crunchy which I liked. I especially LOVED the mac and cheese. The only thing that I did not like was the long wait, it took over 40 minutes to get my food. The environment is pretty noisy and it was difficult to hear the names being called out. If you are coming here to eat make sure to come when it's not busy or go through the drive thru because I would think the line moves faster than dine-in.
