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

Always perfect, could just add more of a variety of sides. You know, like bbq beans, rolls, etc.
I love their French fries but the chicken is too greasy 90% of the time. I hope they change the type of oil they use to fry their foods.
I'm always craving this spot, the food is always 10/10! Definitely recommend downloading the app and putting in an order for pickup cause it gets busy and could be a long wait
First time at Dave's hot chicken, Brenda was the sweetest and very welcoming! I got the two sliders with a side of Mac and cheese. The two sliders ended up being a lot of food for myself, but were delicious. The Mac and cheese was creamy and hot!
Ordered to go and it was a little busy but got my food in a decent time. I ordered the 1 slider meal with fries. I got the medium spice and it was a good amount of spice but not spicy at all. Bathrooms were clean and service was great. I've been here multiple times and will come back again soon!
Business response:
Appreciate you coming back again and again! Medium spice is a solid choice, and glad to hear the service and cleanliness are always on point. Looking forward to your next visit!
I thought it was super yummy and the customer service was friendly and helpful! They do have tables inside and out if you want to eat onsite. Good flavor, tried the chicken with sides of macaroni, coleslaw and fries.
Business response:
Love hearing that you enjoyed both the food and the service! Solid side choices, too—mac, coleslaw, and fries make a great combo. Hope to see you again soon!
I love Dave's hot chicken, I've been a fan for a while now. I really dislike that they changed the reaper recipe though, that was my go-to, but now they made it way too spicy.. it h physically hurts to eat it. Nat is super friendly and she recommends mixing the Dave's sauce with honey! It's very tasty.
The service was great same with the food. Personally i don't eat from here often but it's better than most other places in the El cajon area. So if your near this area you should come.
Business response:
Glad you enjoyed the food and service! Appreciate the recommendation for the area—hope to see you back whenever you’re in the mood for some good chicken!
The chicken is phenomenal. I wish they had a little bit more on the menu, but I understand. Service is okay but not superb. It's really busy inside.
Business response:
Glad you’re a fan of the chicken! We keep the menu simple to focus on quality, but we hear you. Appreciate the feedback, and hope to see you again soon!
