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

Dave's Hot Chicken is AMAZING! There are multiple spice levels so depending on your mood or your taste there is definitely something for you. Don't sleep on the cheese fries either. So good. It is even good delivery! Which is hard to do with fried food.

There is no other meal I'd rather have on a cheat day. Friendly service, pretty quick turnaround. Always generous with giving extra sauce.

Great Customer service, amazing chicken. Thank you all for help and amazing food!!!! We tried the Hot, mild, medium, and reaper. It's definitely Hot chicken, but worth every bite! 10/10 but definitely expect some heat

I personally liked the fries more than the chicken. The chicken had a cinnamon taste to it. The sauce that also came.witj it was pretty good. Other than that I don't see what the hype is about.

I've been wanting to try Dave's Hot Chicken since I've been in town. Finally got to try it and I see why it's so popular. I added a tender in addition to the sandwiches. I love spicy food, but I shared a sandwich with my friend so I couldn't get it too hot because she can't handle it. I think we got medium spice level, which was nothing to me, but it still tasted good. Next time I will try other spice levels.

Dave's Hot is here to accommodate your hot chicken craving. You're able to order your exact level of spiciness here as they have a scale of heat with many choices. The food choices however are a lot more limited. You can either get 2 sliders, 2 tenders or 1 of each. I guess they know what they're good at and don't wanna step out of their expertise. Well the chicken is pretty big for what you would expect. Verity very crunchy. The taste won't disappoint you and the sauce is a great addition. Mac and cheese was pretty basic ... read more

Pretty darn good chicken. Considering how big this place has got it still has a great quality chicken sandwich. Fries aren't that bad also , Mac and cheese is above average also. I got my food very fast which is also a plus. No real negatives other then it's not quite to par with howling rays.
