About this business

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.

Not only was the service very welcoming and friendly, the food really is great. I really appreciated the extra pickles and the various levels of spice on both the slider and tender.

This will now be my go to chicken joint!! I luv DHC!

Dave's Hot Chicken delivers bold, flavorful Nashville-style hot chicken that's juicy, crispy, and packed with heat. Their spice levels range from "No Spice" to "Reaper," catering to every tolerance. The chicken is tender with a perfect crunchy coating, and the sliders -- topped with pickles and Dave's sauce -- are especially satisfying. Sides like crinkle-cut fries and mac and cheese complement the main dishes well. The portions are generous, and the vibe is casual and fun. Prices are fair for the quality and size.

Out of all the hot chicken sandwiches in Chicago Dave's seem to get it right. I've eaten here a lot. And every time they are on point. The new loaded fries are amazing. The cauliflower bites are very tasty. And the sliders are always great. The service is always great. The place is always clean.
