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

Tried Dave's Hot Chicken today for the first time. I've had nashville hot chicken a million times while living here in LA since it's so trendy and a new spot pops up all the time. I am only giving it 4 because I think it is overrated and nothing different. All these places taste the same. Dave's was good! Not bad at all, good spice and friendly workers. It definitely cured my hunger and I got a free drink by checking in

Dave's hot chicken is great but I wouldn't eat here often just because the only options are fried chicken with the amazing crispy coat and I like to watch what I eat most of the time but if you checkin you get a free milkshake which is really nice to sip on while you wait for your order. I give this place 5 stars because they understood the assignment with the chicken and fries! Very tasty!

Man, I was excited to try this place and it was just above average, at best. I'm a huge fan of Nashville style hot chicken sandwiches. I've had more than I can count. I have to admit I was a little skeptical coming to Dave's because chains don't really ever get it done. I was generally correct. Let's get two things out of the way. The service was great, the place was clean, and the price was decent, I went to the location off Fairfax in LA and it generally was inviting experience. Now to the food. I'll start backwards.

Love the convenience of Dave's Hot Chicken!! The tenders + fries are delicious, and get Dave's sauce for a delicious treat!

More of a 3.5/5, the chicken itself wasn't very flavorful to me (tasted like a mouth full of chili powder tbh) just hot. The slider was probably the best out of the tenders/fries. The house sauce (i think dave's sauce?) was pretty good w the fries as well. And the workers are super nice + the environment is super chill and there's lot of tables outside to sit at and eat.
