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

Dave's is usually a 5 star hit but i went there recently to try their new "not chicken" and while it was good , the piece of cauliflower i got was so small in my slider. Also, the chicken tender i got on the side was small as well. I'm used to the bigger chicken tenders that I've had before. Friendly staff and clean establishment though. Maybe it was just an off day.

Ample parking in the lot and in the street for this location. A couple of self-service order machines in addition to two cashiers to place orders at this store. Employees are super friendly, especially Esmeralda! Store interior is kept super clean and well maintained. Guests cleaned up after themselves, and the staff would regularly come through to continue to keep the space tidy. Overheard there's a digital lock requiring a code for the restroom, but didn't use it myself, so can't comment on cleanliness. Will absolute com... read more

Really solid and probably my favorite hot chicken spot. I love their special sauce and that they have honey packets. Their fries could be better, they are kinda soggy oftentimes. Friendly service and clean bathrooms. Food is always ready when I order for pick-up.

Food is great you just need to hire more people, long lines inside and 5-10 people outside waiting to pick up for Doordash or online order 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

My son (15 years old) loves this place and the super hot chicken sandwitch. He even says, if I have to eat one meal every day it would be Dave's Hot Chicken. He always gets two super hot chicken burger-type sandwiches and one extra chicken on the side and always polishes it off. Great place for kids. 

Business response:

Wow! Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We're delighted to know you enjoyed your experience with us. Do come back soon

The food here is pretty good but the sauce definitely shines through and the service is good.

(+) The #3. 1 tender, 1 slider if you can't decide between them! (+) The pickles help cut the heat from the spicy chicken. (+) Fries are consistent and balance the meal. Been here a couple times and was quite satisfied each time. (+) The slice of white bread. So humble yet so essential somehow. Working my way up on the heat scale, next time extra hot and maybe someday reaper level
