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 what everyone hypes up chik fil a to be. Pretty much the same price too just a little more and you get a free milkshake. Juicy tender chicken, great sauce, great sandwich. Beat chicken sandwich I've had

Love Dave's Hot Chicken! This chain really blew up all over LA - with good reason! People's reviews complain that it is not cheap but the sliders are big - one is almost as big as your average chicken sandwich at a fast food or sit-down restaurant. Dave's sauce is yummy and the crinkle fries are good. Pretty busy location, but still easy and fast if you order ahead and pick up. Have been to this location at least 6 times and have had a good experience all but one time - which is a great track record for a fast-ish food join... read more

I know their menu is extremely unhealthy, but hot damn is it worth it. I don't know what it is about their sandwiches, but they are to die for. I'm not even a fan of pickles, but with Dave's, I order the full package. Their hot sauce is great, too. They usually send you off with some honey for the sandwiches, but I've never used them due to the amount of flavor this sandwich packs. Just writing this review alone is making me wonder when I'll make my next stop to Dave's.

We had to try out another Nashville Hot Chicken joint other than Howlin' Rays. It's good but not as good as Howlin' Rays. We came here around 11:30am on a Thursday. There's outdoor and indoor seatings. Food came out fast. They only had sliders. We ordered 2 chicken sliders in medium and hot. Their spicy is less spicy compared to Howlin' Rays. Chicken was very tender. Coleslaw was creamy compared to Howlin' Rays. You need a code for the restroom inside. Parking is street parking.

Hey Crystal, Thanks for your review! We'd love a second chance at earning that 5th star, please connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc -Julie
