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 atmosphere in Dave's Hot Chicken was fun and friendly! Ryan at the register was fast and helpful since I was indecisive on what to order! For it being my time, I'll definitely be back!

My son had been asking us to take him to Dave's hot chicken. When we got there it was pretty full but our order was ready quickly! The chicken was amazing! And the portions were huge! The ambiance was great but they do need more seating, there's enough space to add more seats. Definitely a must try chicken! 

Business response:

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

The mild product is the way to go I love heat but the flavor is off the hotter it gets

Pretty good! The flavor on the chicken kind of tastes like chili bean soup not gonna lie! Still pretty good! The (possibly bbq mustard) sauce mixed with the honey added a really good taste. I preferred the sandwich with the coleslaw over just the chicken strips. The cheese fries were my favorite! Reminded me of when I used to go to my brothers baseball games as a kid, very tasty fries! Good food, great customer service!
