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

Ate here on June 12. First time. Lunch. Crowded. Don't choose this if you are in a rush. Food was cooked after we ordered and our order took about 15 minutes. Worth the wait. Food is tasty. Messy, but tasty. The #4 slider was a good sized meal. Drink is not included, so lunch for two was $30. Definitely not a budget lunch. Only really big eaters should spend for the #3 with the extra chicken tender. The slider has a nice slaw component. The fries are crinkle cut and with some good crisp without being hard. The joint is p... read more
This location has fast service wait time for us was 15 min and clean tables to eat. Tenders are made fresh . Kim the cashier was sweet.
It was good We had slicers. We also had a burger it was too. The service wasn't that bad . There wasn't a lot of noise. We enjoyed going there
I decided to go back a second time and order the Dave's hot cauliflower hoping they would put in my order this time. Oh my goodness it didn't disappoint! It was nice and super crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it was delicious!! Robert G took my order today and he gave absolutely excellent customer service and made sure my order was correct this time, (he apologized for my previous order) but this was when they first came out with it so it wasn't his fault. It was very nice of him. He didn't have to but he did.... read more
great customer service! Drew was really patient with me when placing my order. Food came out quick.
I'm updating to 5 stars because I don't remember why I initially gave 4 and I liked it enough that I'm psyched that one just opened in my area. Here was my original review. This wasn't on my radar as potential dinner options, but my partner suggested it, it was right there, and I didn't want to play that game where we can't agree on a place for an hour, so I said ok. I got the number 1 with medium seasoning and I actually thought it was pretty good. The seasoning was flavorful, unique, and tasty, and not too spicey hot.... read more
The food and service at Dave's Hot Chicken are absolutely amazing! The staff is incredibly fast and efficient, you barely have to wait before your order is ready. On top of that, everything tastes fresh and full of flavor. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a quick, delicious meal! Brian is awesome!
My kid loves this place! Order online to avoid long wait times and lines. Chicken is good and very flavorful. I personally get the mild but if you love spicy food they have hotter options.
Always perfect, could just add more of a variety of sides. You know, like bbq beans, rolls, etc.
