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

Carrie took my order perfectly was the best chicken in town I've been out here for a work trip and haven't yet found any place better than here!

Excellent chicken sliders and fries! Limited menu makes ordering easy. This place is branded really well and deserves the hype it gets. Dave's hot chicken is like if in-n-out had a young, energetic marketing team and also served hot chicken sliders. Long lines during peak hours but I came here at 10:45 pm on a Monday, and service was very quick! I got a single slider ($5.45) and a milkshake (plus some stolen fries here and there), and that was enough to fill me up. I got lite mild heat level because I'm lame, but I reall... read more

It's good and it's so filling it's crazy each portion is so big that I couldn't breathe the whole day after lunch if I knew I would've saved it for the next day which is a good thing you get more food for the money! Get the spiciest lol

I went back to give them a second chance & it was better. The chicken wasn't SO rubbery & overcooked today & the shake's texture was thicker. Rick's customer service was lovely. However, the two fundamental problems are this store on Fairfax and some others are using FROZEN chicken- hence the nasty, fake chicken texture & stringyness. Some other Dave's Hot Chicken's use fresh only! This is an brand expansion, supply chain, problem they need to fix quickly because cheaper frozen birds at a premium location, visited by influ... read more

They're so funny, it makes me laugh. I would suggest you come here after a long day of work. The chicken extinguisher is hilarious.

I had been wanting to try this hot chicken craze for a while. I landed at Dave's because it's close to work. OMG it's freakin awesome!! I have a new favorite lunch. I didn't have any means of comparison until I recently tried another hot chicken place. It was good but not as good. I've been back about 6 times since and I've eaten at the Reseda location too. It never disappoints.
