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

Two buffalo Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries 9.1/10 definitely something to try . Hot slider was like sweating , the mild was insane the crust had a very light flavor seasoning that was in any and every bite . Picked we're not my favorite but we're amazing and accommodating to the amount of Dave's sauce I asked for . Recommend highly .

Here's the thing about me: I'm a spice guy. Everywhere I go I always get the hottest thing on the menu; frequently I am disappointed. Nothing is ever hot enough for me! Can we turn up the heat? But in one day, this chicken shop went from being something not even on my radar to my favorite chicken shop of ALL TIME! They bring the heat at Dave's Hot Chicken!!! I WILL be returning ASAP!

This is a fast casual place with ample indoor and outdoor seating. I got the #3 which included a chix sandwich, chix tender and fries for $14 pre tax. Cashier was very friendly. The chix sandwich was tasty. My friend and I both got medium which barely had a hint of spice at all! Next time I will try hot. The chicken tender was very tender and juicy on the inside and a tiny bit spicier than the sandwich. Fries were well seasoned. I was pretty full after the sandwich and fries, ate about 1/3 of the tender. I'd come back... read more

Delicious chicken sandwich, Daves Hot chicken is like Chic-fil-A's spicier arch nemesis. I tried their mild chicken 'slider' with fries and kale slaw. Their slider is def an understatement as it is pretty decent size. Chicken is crispy and juicy, and their mild season has a nice kick. Def get the spicier level if you really want to feel the heat. Fries were simple: fried to golden brown and well seasoned. The sauce that it comes with also paired really well fries and the slider itself. Kale slaw honestly was ok, but I woul... read more

One time I stood in line for two hours at the #1 rated restaurant on Yelp in Los Angeles. It was the first time I'd ever invested this much time waiting for food and it was my first time eating hot chicken. It was one of the best meals I've had. I've been trying to find a comparable hot chicken sandwich for years. Most are disappointing and little more than a fried piece of chicken with Frank's Red Hot poured over it. Sometimes I wonder if the "hot" in the descriptions refer to temperature instead of spice level. We fina... read more

This is hands down some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. I got the sliders with medium spice and it came out so quick and was the perfect level of spicy. The fries are well seasoned, but the Dave's sauce and honey are great to dumb on your chicken. The coleslaw on the sandwich is outstanding as well. So glad I didn't do another underwhelming fast food chicken place and came here instead. I will be back for sure

Very good hot chicken sandwich and fries! I ordered the combo that has a chicken slider, a chicken tender, and fries. This is a very big meal! The slider is actually a full sandwich, so next time I will get the combo with just one slider and fries. The fries had great seasoning, and I really enjoyed the Dave's sauce and the pickles that come on the side. The bun and kale slaw on the sandwich were great. I like spicy food and ordered the "extra hot" spicy level. It was definitely spicy!!! Like the kind of spicy that burns i... read more
