Dave’s Hot Chicken announced the grand opening of its newest Los Angeles restaurant, at 465 N. Fairfax Ave, next to Supreme. Beginning Wednesday, September 9, Dave’s Hot Chicken Fairfax will be open from 11am – 11pm Monday through Thursday, and 11am until midnight Friday through Sunday.

The fast-casual concept specializes in Hot Chicken tenders and sliders, offered at seven various spice levels ranging from No Heat to Reaper (which requires a signed waiver for those who dare), and sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac n’ Cheese and crispy French Fries.

The 1,500 square-foot Fairfax restaurant will initially be open for take-out and patio dining, with team members dawning custom Dave’s Hot Chicken masks, and social distancing enforced while in line. Delivery through all major third-party providers, including Postmates, Doordash, Ubereats and Grubhub, will also be available.

“Dave’s Hot Chicken continues to blow people’s minds with an insane combination of craveable hot chicken, unique spice combinations and best-in-class hospitality,” says Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken. “We’re looking forward to opening at least one more Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurant by the end of the year, as we gear up for a big 2021.”

Chef Dave, along with his three best friends, came up with the idea for Dave’s Hot Chicken in early 2017. Chef Dave—a classically trained chef and self-described spice freak—was inspired by the unique, flavorful spice of Nashville Hot Chicken and set out to create his own craveable version.

Dave’s Hot Chicken has more than 200 locations under contract since it began franchising less than one year ago.
