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 op... read more

Greatest chicken ever! So much flavor! They had a huge line but the staff was smiling. The service is fast it only took 10 min to get our order. Great fun atmosphere, and the place is spotless! We will most defiantly be back . Thanks

We eat Dave's Hot Chicken frequently and it always tastes great, chicken is always fresh. Last night, for the first time ever, it was very clear the tenders were not at all fresh, they were difficult to chew and did not taste as good. It was very disappointing. I'm writing this review because I love Dave's Hot Chicken and wouldn't want their standards to drop. Please continue to provide fresh chicken tenders to your customers as you normally do, rather than giving them tenders that were clearly made many hours ago.

THE BEST HALAL BURGER in L.A The hot chicken is really hot, not so crunchy but the masala they put on it gives it a nice flavor. One slider definitely wouldn't suffice the hot chicken craving so get two sliders with fries. If you are in LA this is a must to try ..

It was just ok being from New York I was tasted better during the time. It's a place that you can pass on if needed and not worthy of the reputation.

I have eaten at Dave's probably six or seven times, the first time I looked at the menu and said 2 sliders, I better order something else with this combo, I ordered two extra pieces of chicken, big mistake, the two sliders were hard to finish as a chicken sticks out 2 inches on either side, it is more than enough food for anyone, I took the additional pieces of chicken home and ate them the next day The food is fantastic for a chain 

Business response:

Thank you for the feedback Martin!! How do we earn that 5th star next time? If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? - Julie C.

If you like chicken sandwiches and hot wing sauce this place will hit the spot. Several levels of spice to choose from, def. recommend this spot for lunch/takeout

Best fried chicken in LA. Fires are good as well and the sauce is good. One of the best choices in LA
