The Best $10 Meals In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Dave’s Hot Chicken started as a late-night food stand in a Hollywood parking lot, quickly gained a rabid cult following, and opened up an order-at-the-counter shop on Western. The menu is simple and features three different hot chicken combos, with your choice of tenders, sliders, or both. Just be careful with your heat level. Anything above a medium is going to be very intense. Order: Combo #1 (two tenders and fries), $10.50." - brant cox

Dave’s Hot Chicken is SO good 🔥🔥 I don’t know what they put in that chicken, but it’s addicting. The spice hits just right, crispy outside, juicy inside — and don’t even get me started on the sauce 😮‍💨. The sliders and tenders are chef’s kiss, and that seasoning? Perfect every time. Definitely worth the hype.

Dave’s Hot Chicken surprised me with how good it was. I didn’t think it would be that great after looking at the photos of some of the food and I can tell you it definitely tastes better than it might look. There was some really good flavor for the hot chicken where it was well balanced. It wasn’t too much spice and flavor to drown out the chicken and it wasn’t too little to be bland and flavorless. The service here at this location was great they were so nice and friendly. The environment is great. I loved seeing the art all over the walls. The place was very clean while I was there. I’d definitely recommend going here to eat any day.

This is one of my favorite Dave’s locations. The staff is always nice, the place is always clean and the food is always perfect. I travel for work, and this is location is in my top 3.

Was super excited to try their loaded fries, I wanted everything on the side was my first time coming here, I got home , and the sides of coslaw didn’t even cover the amount of food I had…. It really sucked and felt like it was just so dry…. It doesn’t match the pictures at all, which shouldn’t change regardless if I asked for items on the side :/ money kind of out the window for this, food was great… just kind of ruined it

I've been here a few times. Love the chicken and the seasoning they use. Fries are really good.

Ordered take out immediately after Eid prayers and everything was ready to go and packaged correctly. We didn't have to sign any waiver for 2 orders of the Reaper sandwiches, but the rest of the order was all very spicy. We got the 7 pack sandwiches and the 8 pack chicken tenders and a LOT of fries. I recommend pre-ordering. The wait can be so long here sometimes from counter orders.

This is my 1st time trying their food. I ordered some food to go. I must say that I was really disappointed. First my son asked me to try their cauli tender bites, but they said they ran out. Then what was very disappointing was that when I was handed by bag the person asked me if I wanted any sauce. And when I asked for Dave's sauce he said that the ran out of it. I was very surprised that how could they ran out of the most important thing which is their sauce. This is like you go to a pizza place and they say we ran out of cheese. They should say or have a sign that we ran out of Dave's sauce where a customer can see and decide whether to order food or not. I spent almost $24 and didn't enjoy the food because I didn't get to try cauli tender bites and also had my chicken sliders without the sauce. As they say first impression is the last impression... I am never going back to Dave's Hot Chicken.

This place was SO GOOD!! I love their sliders. We got to share with our family. It was SO GOOD!! THIS WAS THE BEST CHICKEN PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN!! Their sauce was so good I kept dipping my fries in it. Definitely coming back and I'm so excited to eat my leftovers. By:webb
