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

USEFUL: I assumed Dave's was a hot chicken sandwich place so I was surprised to see it's actually nothing but CHICKEN FINGERS. They do have options that come with a bun (instead of white bread) but you don't have any choice when it comes to the chicken. So let's get to it. You pick the heat level from 0-5. We went with 1 (very mild) and 2 (mild) after getting absolutely mouth-wrecked at a different hot chicken place by overestimating our heat tolerance. We ordered two basic meals along with kale salad, Mac n cheese and tw... read more

Popeyes, chic fil a, raising canes? Naw give me Dave's hot chicken!!! I usually try a different place on my cheat day Saturdays but I've been there for two weeks in a row! They have some really good chicken with I think five different heat levels and even a plain one probably for the kiddos. I have gotten the two slider with fries and once with the cheese fries which is made with the good nacho cheese! The medium heat is actually medium and not to spicy or bland it's just right! The dipping sauce is kinda like raising canes ... read more

So my husband and I ate too fast to take a picture. This place does hot chicken right! We both agree this place wins the chicken sandwiches wars. And hot really means hot! Thankfully they don't skimp on the A/C inside because you might sweat otherwise! The spices shine through, and I love that I can taste the cumin in the batter. Pickles on the side and perfectly crispy crinkle fries. Portions are really generous in the combos too. This was my first visit and my husband's second. We'll have to put this place in our regular d... read more

First time visiting today and it was a great experience!! Very large portions, good flavor and friendly employees who take the time to fully explain the menu. The spice levels are on point. I had medium and my husband had hot. The hot as a spice to it but isn't inedible, super good! You can sub your sides for anything else on the menu. The 2 sliders are the size of 2 sandwiches! Well be back

It was my first time at Dave's Hot Chicken and the staff was very welcoming. I ordered the 2 piece tender combo with spice level hot and it was amazing. The inside of Dave's was also very clean with cool art decor on their walls. My bf got the 1 piece tender and slider combo and his spice level was medium. We both enjoyed our meals. Would definitely come back again.

The food was good but Crystal's bubbly and positive attitude-- made my visit impeccable! I usually get two tenders or a slider in medium since I'm too weak for hot. This was my 3rd time having Dave's and first time dining in. I will def come back!

Dave's Hot Chicken is some of the best chicken I've had in a while. The chicken itself is flavorful, juicy, and has the perfect amount of spice. I got the hot level for both the tender and the slider, and this was definitely the way to go. The slider was my favorite, it was beautifully piled with slaw, pickles, the chicken, and Dave's sauce. The trick to the sauce is to add some honey and mix it with a fry. Dave's has a great atmosphere, and wonderful employees who made this experience so much fun. I can't wait to come back ... read more

By far a solid 9.5/10!! Customer service is so attentive and wants to make sure you have the best experience possible while here. Mixing honey into their signature sauce made it 10x better and was recommended by the manager. Would definitely come here again, combo #3 (tender and slider) is UNBEATABLE!!!
