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.

Updated review: they no longer offer the 50% military discount which is very upsetting. Now they only offer a free drink or 10% I forget. We really went out of our way because of the discount, but we don't see ourselves driving out there when we can just go to Cane's.

Just wanted to say we love the food here. Today Daniel took our order and was very helpful and efficient. There was a long line but the wait wasn't too bad. Hot is hot enough for me, and i lile hot stuff, I'm too scared to try anything hotter.

Dave's Hot Chicken in El Cajon is located in a tight little cluster of other fast food emporia tucked away in an oddly-angled portion of the outer parking lot of a Home Depot and a nearby hotel---I think it might be a Hampton Inn. Be aware that the parking lot is tricky to navigate, with sharp corners, coupled with the vigilance needed to avoid the constant stream of the snaking of vehicles in line for the adjacent In and Out Burger. The interior of Dave's Hot Chicken is warehouse like, and quite plain, save for the cartoo... read more
