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

went a couple days... WORST DAVES EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE... worker Dylan had horrible customer service, gave me some fruity attitude and was not welcoming at all. I could just tell he wanted me to leave the establishment ASAP rocky, will not be coming back ever again and I hope he learns his lesson.
It was ok. My main issue with this place is that when I paid with my card, it got skimmed. Whoever skimmed it started buying stuff online and I had to report it to my bank a few days later. Would not go back and not recommend.
Holy god! Y'all burned me out.. I've eaten Dave's hot chicken for years and this is the second time in my life I've been BURNT! This place is great I've ate here several times idk who I pissed off in my online order but my normal order was hotter than sun itself. .... Basically spent the night PRAYING to god to have mercy on me. While I love Dave's this place gets a 2.5 idk what to think it hurt and I didn't ask for reaper swear on my life
What happened to the spice Dave? Not sure if it is this location or what but I repeatedly came here and ordered MEDIUM spice. Nothing not even a mild zing. I double checked my receipt and the cashier always got it right. Maybe it is the cooks. No longer visiting this location its driving me away from Daves for HOT chicken.
I ordered a meal from Dave's hot chicken and when I got my meal I bit into the chicken and my front tooth broke off. I was one hundred percent embarrassed. The reason it happened is because my chicken was way over cooked or had been sitting too long when I received it. I let the employees know what happened and they told me they couldn't help what happened and I should go to a dentist They were busy but not too busy to help a customer like me who spends so much money with them. They were angry with me for even informing the... read more
First time trying today and I was not a fan. Portion size, price, service, all were good. The chicken and fries however just tasted oily, like straight up old possibly burnt, degraded fryer oil and lots of seasoning. I know it sounds bad but it's understandable seeing the amount of chicken they push out. I'm sure they filter and swap oil but my batch just wasn't good and I don't think I'll crave this again. For anyone wanting to try this place I say maybe go around opening time for lunch with hopes they've used fresh oil.
Food may be good but the wait time is ridiculous. Waited almost 50 minutes for our food that only consisted of 4 sandwiches.
Food quality has dropped dramatically. I haven't been to this Dave's location in a bit and the difference is very big from before. Tender sizes have decreased a lot. Fries have little to no seasoning. Mac n Cheese was very cold. I came here expecting a very good meal since that's all I've ever had at any Dave's Hot Chicken location but thats not what I received. I love Dave's Hot Chicken, but this experience was very bad and I will likely not be coming back.
Worst experience ever. Will not be back. Avoid!! Walked in with no one in the place, still had to wait almost 30 minutes for our order of 2 small sandwiches.
