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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

Business response:
Go Renata & Pamela! Thanks for the shoutout! We love when our team is recognized by the people who make our brand what it is. Thanks for the love!
The chicken slider here is great but the ambience of this small shop is abysmal. The world's worst low fidelity speaker blasts music inside and outside the shop. Also the wait for one's order is way longer than one would expect. It would have been nice if the cashier provided some idea of how long the wait would be for the food.
Business response:
Appreciate the feedback, Art. Glad you enjoyed the slider, but sorry the vibe wasn’t what you were hoping for. We hear you on the wait time and communication—definitely something we can work on. If you’d like to share more, feel free to reach out at dhcfeedback.com.
This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and the food was pretty good. We placed an order for pickup and everything was hot and ready when we picked up our order. The service was good and I would recommend if you're in the area.
Business response:

Business response:
Thanks, Bria! Glad to hear Carlos took great care of you and that you loved the food. We’ll be ready for you next time—can’t wait to have you back!
Our first time at this location. Nice spot on the way to the beach. Street parking l, but plentiful even on a Saturday! The guy at the register was nice and took our order quickly. We got our food in less than 10 minutes! Everything was fresh and hot! Delicious food! We loved the loaded fries! Tried the Mac cause I wasn't too hungry, it was delicious!
Anytime I crave fried chicken in PB I come here. Definitely the best fried chicken in town! I always order through their app to skip the lines. The service is great and very friendly. The place is always busy but still maintained very well and clean. Definitely one of my guilty pleasures!
Business response:
**Daniel A.** Gotta love a solid guilty pleasure! Appreciate you shouting out the team and the app—hope your next fried chicken craving brings you back soon!
Great food & the service is good. I was helped by Brianna, she was very welcoming & polite. The ambiance & music was a vibe. I would definitely come here again.
