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 chicken strips here were great and I am glad I finally had the chance to try them! Hot spicy level was good, but not too much. Deep fried outer layer was very crispy and tasted great with house sauce! The restaurant has a large dining area, and I recommend eating there since fried food might get soggy and the taste might change. That is, unless you have an air fryer! Crinkle fries are also good with ketchup and go well with the meal. I'd come back again as the chicken strips were big and filling, so it was worth ... read more

O wrangling schools that search what fire, shall burn this world had none the wit, unto this knowledge to aspire, that (Dave's Hot Chicken) might be it. Omg, stumbled on this place looking for a late afternoon snack. My world was shook! It was unlike any fried chicken sandwich I tried before. I ordered a "Hot" Chicken slider and fries. The bun was soft and the chicken was a tenderloin piece aka filet mignon of the chicken breast. They must brine their chicken cuz it was wonderfully tender and juicy. It was lightly brea... read more

I decided to try this spot and it was ok but nothing special. I feel the flavor is ok but it wasn't that spicy to me. I tried the hot tender and extra hot slider. I enjoyed the mac and cheese more than the chicken to be honest. Btw with a yelp check in you can get a free drink.

Amazing chicken. Always so juicy and portions are big and affordable. You must try their house sauce WITH the honey. Oh so delicious and savory. The soda machine wasn't working properly since all the soda was flat. I let an employee know and they jumped into action trying to fix it. Sadly, they weren't able to and was so kind to offer us bottle soda instead ! Talk about service!!! Most importantly ! I left my purse here early February 2023 and I was freaking out because I had valuables and my meds in there. They were so ... read more

I've ordered here a few times through Uber Eats, but this was the first time I've actually come into a Dave's Hot Chicken establishment. I got there late last night around 45 minutes before closing. This was the first time that I was kind of disappointed with the fries. Seems like the grease was not fresh because my fries were more on the dark, crisp side drowned by seasoning salt. Don't get me wrong, the food is very tasty and flavorful. I just think maybe because it was before closing, it wasn't as fresh. I also got the la... read more

The food is great. Service is prompt and quick.. just like some other restaurants, we don't need to be reminded at the register that " is gonna ask you a question " . We see it.. that whole guilt of tipping. They need to take this off since the only thing they are actually doing is taking order. Is not like they are bringing the food at the table. But yeah. Enjoy guys..

I had known about Dave's Hot Chicken for quite some time, and it is a well known fried chicken establishment in the San Gabriel Valley. My wife and I were having cravings for fried chicken, so we decided to order here for carry out. My wife got the medium chicken tenders, and I got a very mild slider. We also got chicken tenders and fries for a friend who was visiting. We ordered everything carry out. The slider was smaller than I thought. I looked online and it appeared to be a chicken breast on a bun, but it was actually... read more
