About

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.

Have an expert’s review. Dave’s Hot Chicken is hands down one of the best places for spicy fried chicken! The chicken is always juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Their spice levels cater to everyone, from mild to insanely hot for those who love a fiery kick. The loaded fries and creamy mac and cheese are the perfect sides to pair with the chicken. The service is quick, the staff is friendly, and the vibe of the restaurant is trendy and inviting. If you’re looking for the best Nashville-style hot chicken in town, Dave’s Hot Chicken is a must-visit. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a late-night craving. Highly recommend trying their sliders—they’re a game changer!

I stopped by Dave’s Hot Chicken and tried the sliders with cheese added on top of the chicken, paired with a side order of fries. Let me tell you—it was more than just mouthwatering! The chicken was juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. I went with the medium heat level, and while I didn’t find it spicy at all, it was still incredibly tasty. Pro tip: Be sure to ask for honey! Drizzling it over the chicken takes the flavors to the next level—sweet, savory, and absolutely addictive. The food was so good I’m already planning my next visit. If you’re a fan of chicken, this place is a must-try! THERE ARE HALAL 🩷

Tasty chicken but too overpriced. You could get the same chicken with the same flavour and even bigger than these meals somewhere else. Atmosphere a bit sketchy during the evenings. Service was alright. It doesn't deserve the hype. You could get a better deal at Loblaw's.

Dave’s Hot Chicken never disappoints, and this location is no exception! The sliders were perfectly juicy and packed with flavor, while the cheese fries and mac and cheese were equally delicious—highly recommend both. Don't miss out on the Canadian-exclusive poutine either, it’s a must-try! Overall, a fantastic experience, and I definitely recommend stopping by!

I understand all the hype! I love the chicken here, super fresh and looked like I got basically entire breast in my wich. I also asked for extra pickles thinking I’d only get a couple more pieces in my sandwhich and I got a lil side container filled with pickles ugh thank u this is the kind of service that makes a girl want to come back to an establishment. You’ll see me soon ❤️❤️❤️

Dave’s Hot Chicken in Toronto offers an exceptional fried chicken experience, with the juiciest chicken and a perfect thin layer of crisp that adds a delightful crunch. The heat level is just right, providing a satisfying kick without being overwhelming. Compared to other popular chains like Popeyes and Church’s, Dave’s Hot Chicken stands out as the best I’ve tasted, with each piece cooked to perfection, retaining incredible flavor and tenderness. The addition of honey and Dave’s special sauce elevates the experience, creating a mouthwatering combination that is truly irresistible. Whether you're a heat seeker or a fried chicken enthusiast, this place is a must-visit.

I love Dave’s! There’s something so satisfying about this place, They have one thing on the menu, barely a menu, you get chicken, slider or tender, and your spice level. theirs an upside and downside to that, you have no choices but they’ve perfected they’re menu, lol The chicken has an amazing crisp,(white chicken) and it’s as juicy as karaage, the slider is balanced really well. My only gripe about Dave’s, the spice levels, I like spice and medium is not enough, and I’ve also had hot that was almost to hot to eat, almost no middle ground, maybe it was just that time but it’s pictured above^ Always great tho

I got the slider combo and it was really good but the portions are really small. The Chicken Slider had Coleslaw and Pickles. There special sauce was top tier I could compare it to Raisin Canes as the food was very similar. The one thing that made me lower my rating is $8 for a chicken tender?!?! But overall lovely experience and I would recommend!

Chicken is tasty, hot sauce has nice flavour. Fries and sauce work well with chicken sliders. Very loud music inside so consider eating outside if thats not your thing. Wait times are also long due to made to order meals, which are quite expensive for the small portion of food. Expect to pay 20 dollars for a basic sandwich and fries.

Although there was a long line and waited for roughly 30 minutes, it was completely worth it. Each order comes with fries, pickles, sauce, and a slice of white bread. The chicken was fresh, juicy, and packed with flavour & spice. The fries were crispy and had a light seasoning on it that complemented the chicken perfectly. The sandwich was not as great as other places in the city, but the tenders are unmatched. Very happy to finally have Dave s Hot Chicken open in Toronto and looking forward to many more locations to open throughout the city!

Yesterday me and one of my friend visited the place around noon time it was not that busy so first we ordered two #2 box and one of them was reaper but it was already prepared and cold and the reaper burger was literally so spicy and this was not my first time eating a reaper flavour but this was literally like the worker was taking out his frustration on food and giving to customers and after asking for a glass of water the denied to give me and said we don t do it here and after eating the food we literally threw out the food we had in the washroom and our stomach was hurting so bad!! Will not recommend this location to anyone!!!

Fascinating food concept. The menu is simple. Chicken strips dabbed in spices and fries along with a dipping sauce. The fries were high quality. The chicken strips are large and cut from quality chicken pieces. I opted for the Reaper spice level. So spicy that the inside of my body was burning for hours. Eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and everywhere else. Even my skin burned whereever the spice got to it. I recommend not trying the Reaper level if you have medical conditions. Parking: GreenP parking is available nearby

I will say it in the most simplest way. Dave s Hot Chicken is simply a overhyped chain because of Drake(Singer). Today, I had a chance to be in Toronto with my parents and decided to give this chain a try. The menu only serves tenders and the sliders only have tenders that half fill the bun. You get a piece of bread and some pickles on the side but honestly if you do go out of your way to come here. Only order tenders and fries alone! The signature sauce is sweet and it does not go well with the tenders or bread.

Super lame that they don t take cash. My rating is low because I dislike the rub they use for spice level. It s a Carolina Reaper hot powder rub that they put on the chicken and it s just so null of flavour and taste. I like their chicken on its own but the lack of actual flavour or taste in the spicy rub that they put on it just ruins it for me.

I went here after it was suggested to me on instagram, the food took a long time to prepare and it tasted not too bad, but the after fact result had my stomach rolling and made me want to throw up. I have to admit I was lowkey disappointed in this location and the food, no fault to anybody just wasn t that good

Everything was great. Been a while since Ive been. Fifth star will come when the reaper is actually spicy, lol. Jokes aside glad I came back though.

used to be a fave. but its gone so down hill. why does my chicken taste like you poured paprika all over it. tastes it was fried 45 min ago. soggy bun. and one of my sliders had what looks like an empty bottle of sauce sprayed onto it. Not worth the money anymore.

Chicken pieces used to be massive, they are now much smaller. Everything here is very expensive.

June 23, 2024

Honestly save your money. The chicken doesn t even fit on the bun and you pay $11 after taxes. It s the size of a mini taco, similar to the size of a pizza pocket and it looks like someone just threw a bun in the box with a piece of chicken, not even prepared properly. Not worth the hype it used to get.

I had a very pleasant experience with Janett, she had helped me choose the correct spice level for the sliders while understanding my difficulties in choosing one as I could comprehend which would be the perfect flavours. She is such a welcoming and sweet person who had made my experience with fast food chain a different experience. I had order chicken slider with fries. The sauce with it is really a good combo.

Great place to having food and fun with your friends. A perfect hangout place in central Toronto. The rush depends upon the time you go in. Visited this place recently they have a great menu that will leave you confused if you are new to all this. Luckily we had Janette over the counter. She suggested us to go with the chicken tenders and we did. Both the tenders and service were .

Man this place fell off hard, customer service here is very bad now a days here. I asked for more toppings after they provided barely any on my sandwich and the lady had the audacity to give me attitude after asking her very politely. They had this real tough guy security guard in a suit come up to us half hour before closing telling us that we can sit down and eat and kicked us out. The washrooms were out the order again. Vwry displeased with this place now.
