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.

Ngl it's pretty mid. Honey on the sandwiches makes it a bit better but the fries are weak asl

I come here many times and the chicken is consistently juicy and delicious. The milkshakes are alright, could be better.

The wife and I were in El Cajon and finally decided to give this place a try. The "hot" chicken slider was fantastic and the combination of pickles, spicy chicken and coleslaw was amazing. Will definitely be back for more!

The food was ok, very oily batter, fatty chicken, ordered mild, but didn't taste spice. Would try medium or hot next time. Fries were great! And Daniel gave super friendly service!

Expensive but great food! Love their spiced crinkle cut fries, and the chicken is always tender and crispy and spiced to order.

My daughter wanted to try Dave's Hot Chicken. I wasn't so sure since I don't eat chicken. But we tried it and as soon as we walked we were greeted it was spacious and clean. Kaylee took our ordered she was extremely nice and friendly. She let us know which sauces to mix and it was yummy. My daughter had the #3 and I had the cheese fries and mac n cheese. Cheese fries were cheesy they didn't skimp out on the cheese. Service was a 6 but my daughter said the chicken was too salty so we gave it a 4. Thank you Dave's Hot Chicken.

Delicious chicken. Spicy, juicy and hot. Dave's #1 comes with two oversized chicken strips, crispy fries, pickle slices, two slices of white bread and a cup of Dave's sauce. The side of Mac & Cheese was decent. A very filling meal that left me satisfied and happy. I will be back.
