Dave's Hot Chicken Sherman Oaks

I don't get the hype but I guess its just not my kind of food. I was hearing rave reviews about this place so had to try it. The food quality and spice / seasoning was not a wow like I was expecting. All the food felt heavy and mostly very unhealthy options for sides too. Its fried in soybean oil. I know lots of people love this place, but if you are looking for a lighter meal or meal that will leave you feeling good after, this is not your spot. Also, the place is pretty bland and OK inside. At least its clean and people were friendly. They did reach out to me after and I appreciate the feedback and updates. Thank you!

We were just driving by and decided to stop in for a bite to eat. After giving the menu board the once-over I ordered the 2 Sliders with Fries and a Drink combo meal. The interior was simple but fun with colorful art on the walls, polished concrete floor, and the rubber chicken motief. The order was ready fairly quickly. Even though at first glance it didn't seem like a lot of food I struggled a bit finishing that second slider. Next time I'll go with the single. The food was good and the restaurant was clean, you can't ask for much more than that!

I’ve consistently experienced long wait times at this Dave’s Hot Chicken location—usually around 30 to 40 minutes—which is much slower compared to other chains. The main issue seems to be staffing. Every time I visit, there’s only one person working the front, and it’s clear she’s doing her best, but it’s just too much for one person to handle. It’s not her fault, but the service suffers because of it. I won’t be coming back to this location unless staffing improves. Please consider hiring more team members to speed things up.
