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

This location shares a parking lot with in n out so parking is unbearable. But the service was really good and our cashier was very nice! Inside was also very clean. I ordered a #3 medium. It wasn't too spicy but had a spice flavor. Not a big fan of crinkle cut fries but they were crispy. Tendie was super moist. Sandwich was also good but next time will get just the tendies I think.

We finally decided to give this place a try. The hype was real. I suggest getting hot for your heat and adding cheese. The mix of flavors are
I have never day-dreamed about food - until now! Dave's Hot Chicken is so good that after eating DHC for the first time earlier this week I almost immediately wanted more, and found myself randomly thinking of the chicken several times over the following several days! (Yes, I've already been back!) Multiple in my family love spicy chicken sandwiches, we've tried all fast food options and DAVE's HOT CHICKEN IS THE BEST BY FAR! Don't let the fact that DHC does not have a drive thru stop you from trying their chicken, having ... read more
Ngl it's pretty mid. Honey on the sandwiches makes it a bit better but the fries are weak asl
Good job kudos for Daniel. My son's love it so much and the place is very popular always busy but fast service courtesy and care
I come here many times and the chicken is consistently juicy and delicious. The milkshakes are alright, could be better.
This place has been popping up on my social media and it looked delicious. Let me tell you that nothing doasapointed. The food, staff, atmosphere were all top notch. Will definitely come back
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!
