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

The food is great if you get it in time and it's warm. I ordered my food and got it. 40 minutes later then workers get upset if they forget some thing of your order and you go back and tell them as if it was your fault the order was not correct.

Dave's hot chicken food is great but the service is I mean essentially it is a fast food restaurant so I don't expect much but I feel like depending on which chain you go to. You might get a better sandwich.

Best chicken sandwich I've ever had! Super crispy and moist. It is no wonder why so many people talk about this place. Was hesitant to try due to it being a chain. The moment we walked in we were greeted by a super friendly employee! She explained how the menu works and her recommendations. Decided to order the mild chicken sandwich and cheese fries. I'm still thinking about the meal I had here and would love to go back soon. The only thing is that it's just a little too far from me!

This chicken was fire!! I had been wanting to try this place and finally got to see what all the hype is about. The prices are reasonable, the place is clean, the service was good, and I got my order fairly quick considering how busy they were. The only down side is the parking sucks and what a nightmare. It's in a small shopping center and they are next to an In & Out, which is madness with the drive thru line snaking through the parking lot and blocking parking stalls etc. Other than the parking situation the food was good... read more

Finally had the opportunity to try out Dave's Hot Chicken and it totally lived up to the hype! The chicken AND fries were both perfectly seasoned with the perfect crisp, the bun was close to an egg bun which is my absolute fav and came with a ton of pickles which is much appreciated for freshness. I also got a side of macaroni which was a little on the soupy side but the flavor was banging. My only complaint is their signature sauce is kind of whatever. I wish they had other dipping options. I'll definitely eat Dave's again ... read more
