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 burgers were delicious, I just wish they had a bit more cole slaw! My favorite was the fries!

This place is honestly not bad. it's not amazing but it's good enough. the size of the meals are decent and the chicken taste pretty good. the best thing here is the sauce cause without the Dave's sauce I don't think any of the food would taste as good. It's good for a quick meal pickup or just trying something new cause the place really pops out when ur driving on Fairfax. only negative I would say is the overwhelming amount of middle/high schoolers that think they're cool by hanging at this place lol. i guess this place ma... read more

It's ok. Kinda pricey for what you get. Pretty sure there's a fair amount of curry in their spice which I am not a fan of. Food was well prepared and piping hot, just not my jam. 2 stips with fries, white bread and Mac and cheese and drink should not be $24

Dave's Hot Chicken is decent spicy fried chicken that will hit the spot. Their combos includes either tenders or sliders or one of each (tenders come with bread). They have about 6 levels that goes up to reaper. Hot here has a bit of a kick but isn't that spicy if you're into spice. Chicken is decent cooked, at times could be a bit more tender and pieces are relatively smaller cuts. Fries are decent and come with a coating of cayenne pepper. Quick and easy order experience and outdoor seating is nice.

Parking (4/5): street parking (metered or free - depends on where you park) Food (3/5): Got the combo #3 which has one chicken slider and one tenders with fries. Was kind of underwhelmed tbh. My spice level was "medium", but didn't taste any heat at all. Chicken was a bit on the drier side. I did enjoy the fries with dave's sauce. Checked in a got myself a free shake, which was bomb. Location (5/5): easy to spot of you were on fairfax. And pretty close to melrose farmers market if you wanted to stop by to grub. Plenty of ... read more

We tried the hot and it wasn't too spicy! There's a kick but it's not unbearable. I thought that the tender portion sizes were small compared to other hot chicken places, especially compared to the cost. Not bad but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here!
