Daves Hot Chicken is a new restaurant in Toronto opened more than 6 months ago.
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 ❤️❤️❤️

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.

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
