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

I really love this place. I think they have the best chicken tenders outside howlin rays and I really love their Dave's sauce. It's a little pricey though.

Man the hype is real me and my girlfriend were in LA this past weekend for my birthday and Dave's Hot Chicken doesn't disappoint. We did the lite mild which is no spicy but thang still spicy a little not too hot though. I can see why Drake Co-Owns it the platter also comes with curly fries which is super fire. We put the honey and Dave special sauce on the chicken sandwich so good 10/10

Started from the bottom now we're here! Thank you for stopping by and showing some love!

I really like Daves because of how juicy the chicken is but i chose the slider this time and I was kinda taken back on how raw the whole bread feels. It could be more toasted or toasted to order because otherwise it just kills the whole flavor of chicken. Great service and patio seating with a chill ambiance .

HOT CHICKEN HAVEN I try to avoid fast food, but Dave's Hot Chicken was offering a free chicken slider if you downloaded their app. Since I had heard a lot about this place, I was curious to try it. The Fairfax location was hopping when I arrived. As I was ordering at their counter, I noticed that they also offered a free milkshake if you checked in on Yelp. Being a YEE, you know I couldn't resist. You can choose your spice level, so I went with "hot." While I was waiting for them to freshly cook my slider, I read the encour... read more

Fresh and tasty but way too salty. Service was courteous. Plenty of seating outside. I recommend.

As a person who enjoys eating at Dave's Hot chicken this location is decent. They have a really cool interior, but the staff are meh. I came in with my cousin and we both ordered our food right after each other, so I was very confused as to why her order took longer to come out when we ordered the same thing. This wasn't just for her order, but seemed to be the case for other customers as well. Hence, why I took off a star because it make's absolutely no sense and was a bit annoying. On the bright side, a good perk about com... read more

WOW. JUST WOW. Dave's Hot Chicken is the BEST Nashville Hot Chicken in Los Angeles. Trust ME! I have had it all and if you don't believe me just look at my waistline!! I am getting husky from all these delicious spices. I have had all the LA hot spots for Hot Chicken: Howlin Rays is too salty and too spicy for me and there is a 2 hour wait in line. Dave's Hot Chicken is flavorful, colorful, great portion size and spicy as heck! I usually get the MEDIUM Heat for a flavorful sandwich but when I am feeling kind of crazy or if... read more

I have to say that I didn't have high expectations for this place and truly only ordered here because I convinced myself it was better than ordering from McDonalds or any other fast food joint. But oh my! How surprised I was by how amazing the chicken slider and fries were! Since I door dashed to my job I can only comment on the food. Food: 9/10 The slider was packed with flavor and was definitely generous in its size (in my opinion because I can't eat as much food as others before getting full). The bread flattened out qu... read more
