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 opene... read more

I'm kind of indifferent about Dave's. When I first had them years ago, I really thought they were so good. As time as gone on in the last 5-10 years, Nashville and spicy chicken sandwiches in general have really become so popular to the point where there are a ton of choices now. I love spicy chicken sandwiches overall so my standards have become higher overtime as I've found places that I really liked My recent experience at this Dave's was kind of meh. The lady who took our orders was not very expressive or all that fr... read more

This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken. The food was very good. I was hesitant at first because dry rub can sometimes equate to dry chicken. However, the chicken was juicy, piping hot, and delicious. The service was excellent too. We were tired and hungry from traveling when we stopped by. The quick service and clean location was very welcoming. I'd definitely eat here again.

A little on the pricy side, but WELL WORTH IT. I have converted avid Chick-fil-a lovers to this place.

Really enjoyed the Reaper Chicken slider. Wife had med and she like it as well. The fries were very tasty. The double slider meal was too much food and I eat a lot. One slider is big enough with fries. We will return. Staff was fine. Nothing special nothing bad.

The indoor seating area has a high ceiling and very little to absorb sound, so if it's crowded, you can also expect it to be loud. At the same time, the music they play is a good mix. There's a limited number of menu items, but a wide range of heat choices, from not spicy to reaper pepper spicy. Tenders come with dipping sauce that's similar to thousand island without the pickle relish, fries, and a couple of slices of bread, which I guess you could use to wrap those tenders up like tacos. The kale slaw didn't have enou... read more

This was my first time going to a Dave's Hot Chicken. Even though it was lunch time, it wasn't super busy and the service was very fast. Free soda for checking in on Yelp. Overall great experience - just no drive through.

Really good chicken however a little more expensive than other fast food chicken places. I am a fan of the sauce and service. The addition of honey packets adds a nice twist on the chicken and bread. Good for a quick meal.
