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

Accessibility: small parking lot behind the building, but what I did not like about this is that not only is the parking lot for customers, it's also for ANYONE who wants to pay 20 bucks for all day parking, to walk around LA and not worry about their car. So ultimately, the Dave's Hot Chicken parking lot is being filled up by non-Dave's people who just pay to park there. The restaurant is hustling people, making extra money, and creating no space for their actual customers to park for free in their parking lot. Gross. But b... read more

I've been to this Dave's twice now an both times it was because it was open late and I needed something to eat after having had a drink or two nearby. Both times I've gotten the #2 combo because I just wanted some sliders and gotten it 'hot.' I think previous time I tried DHC at another location the heat level eventually grew to be too much a few hours later. I don't know if it's the insulating/numbing power of alcohol or maybe they've toned down the heat but I've found the Dave's here to be not so turbulent on my system. ... read more

So pleasantly surprised by the food here! The chicken is super tender and PACKED with flavor. The mild spice had more flavor than the medium spice for me, but I recommend mixing and matching spice levels to try more flavors. This place reminds me of a better Raisin Canes
I ordered the slider. It comes on a bun that reminds me of a Hawaiian Roll, super soft. I chose "hot" for my spice level and I enjoyed it. I could feel the spice but it wasn't too hot for me. My boyfriend ordered "extra hot" and while he ate it all, he said he would order the "hot" next time. There is a small amount of slaw, sauce and few pickles on the slider. It comes with fries that are seasoned and tasty. There are about 3 tables inside and more outside. If you're looking for a quick spicy chicken sandwich or slider,... read more

I wish there was a vegetarian and vegan option but I am grateful for the food and vibes
Go-To hot chicken in Los Angeles! Absolutely delicious and fresh upon delivery. Well worth the wait on busy days. Keep in mind hot is HOT!
Overall the food was ok for a fast food chicken spot but to charge 15 dollars for 2 tenders and barely any fries is a disservice.
Consistently great fried chicken sandwiches! I usually order the sandwich with medium heat and fries. The slaw balances out the heat a bit so if you want a little extra kick, go for the "hot". The dipping sauce is also amazing with the fries but I also dip the sandwich in for some extra flavor. My go-to hot chicken spot in LA!
