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

The food was so hot and crusty, just the way I love it! One of the staff members, named Lisa, is very sweet. She made sure that I had all my utensils and recommended me to try the honey with the Dave's sauce! The service here is amazing. I came from LA and it's nice to see great service out here
One of my favorite spots in San Diego - Dave's has the best fried chicken I've ever tried. The chicken is good quality and juicy, with more chicken than just fried crust like many other places. The spiciness levels allow you to choose your pain - I recommend medium or even hot if you can handle it! The seasoning can't be beat and the sauce that comes with it might just be the best part. My go to order is the tenders with French fries. Be prepared for quite a wait if you're going late night because the place is packed!
The chicken is amazing. You get a lot of food. We did take out and pick up is a breeze with quick service. Will definitely be going back
First time visitor for me (ig @theburg3rjudg3). 1pm visit. Pamela at the register welcomed us. Then she guided us. She even went on to say "let me know if you need anything while you are here"!! Exceptional Service. Then the food came. Perfect Sliders and Fries. We need more Pamela's!!
great service from Diego. Great location too. Also delicious chicken. Will be coming back!
Popped up on this place and it was good enough but I will say with a little more effort in keeping it clean and employees making sure they are practicing cleanliness this spot which I'm sure that makes great money would make more. The food was good but the practices I seen made me sketchy to try it. Having multiple things with gloves and not changing them will never be cool for me, but it was open and late and I ate it and it was hot and good.
It was my first time at Dave's hot Chicken and Jazmin was awesome! Chicken didn't disappoint!
India gave the best customer service I've had in a long time! I came here during a late night during a holiday and she was so kind and accommodating. So much better than the place across the street. Give her a raise!!!! The slider was great. I get it without pickles and it's perfect. The Mac n cheese wasn't bad either, though it would be nice if it was a little creamier. Overall, I could have Dave's every night. So good!! I'll be a regular customer from now on.
Food was super flavorful, I got spicy and it was pretty hot. The service inside was fast, no complaints for a "fast" food joint, ambiance and decorations with neon lights inside was cool.
