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

The hype is real. Everything is delicious here!!! The chicken was really good and watch out for the hot seasonings they do get spicy. 10/10 for sure.

Ever since I came here I've been a seduced by these marvelous sliders. It's like the movie The Manchurian Candidate, but with chicken instead. One time I feel asleep and I started 'sleep eating' and found myself in my spongebob pj's eating an extra hot slider outside at Dave's

I've heard great things about Dave's! It was good but not the best hot chicken ever. I don't really know if in "chef" terms if im explaining this right but as opposed to a Nashville style hot chicken - it was more of a dry rub. That's not to say it wasn't enjoyable. Personally I love the bread they use, it's soft. Almost like a Hawaiian bread. The sauce is delicious. The mild is safe, Medium is warmer but tolerable - id imagine hot would be too much! Lol I would recommend it but I can't say they knocked it out of the park... read more

Food is good for on the run, something light. The checking tenders are fried really well and juicy on the inside. The spices on the outside of the chicken can get messy when holding. Spices has a unique flavor but the sauce definitely complements it.

Uhm, why haven't I come here sooner?! Are you clucking kidding me right now. For the love of all that is poultry goodness, hot damn this place is on fire. Wow. I don't know whether to celebrate or be scared. Why -- what fear do I have in me? It's the fear of knowing I no longer have a choice, I submit to Dave's Hot Chicken's greatness, and the fact that I'm going to be ordering way too much from them in the coming weeks. I realize I won't have a choice in the matter. I'm going to find myself sitting in traffic - and while... read more

1st time & can't wait to come back! Chicken super tender! The med. was pretty spicy, but that's a personal thing! My one kid got "no spice" & it was still really tasty! Combo #2 Meal comes w/2 sandwiches & fries (very good too), so lots of food-- can def. feed 2. Just hate they don't include the fountain drink with the meal for the price-- its like the cheapest thing...come on!! So a little pricey, $12.99 (cheese add xtra $1) plus small drink $1.85... $35 for 2 meals!

Dave's on Fairfax is sooo good... either way you go with tenders or sliders, they're excellent. Big juicy tenders with or without spice to your liking... shakes are great too... biggest thing is that all of the staff I've encountered are courteous, friendly and helpful...
