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

I was super excited to try this spot. I've heard of Dave's Hot Chicken but never had the opportunity to try. We ordered the two sliders combo and the two tenders combo. We got mild and hot. The chicken is solid, but it doesn't blow me away. It was $28 for these two items and with no drink, not sure if I would wanna come back for that. I could just go to Canes for half the price. The restaurant itself is clean, but there weren't any napkins in the dining area. And, no ketchup dispensers. You have to ask for condiments and nap... read more

Like a majority of Americans I cannot open their sauce packet without a struggle haha. The chicken is crisp and juicy. The sauce is very good as well. Large portion of fries. A good chicken spot especially if you're in the area.

I was so happy when they made a Dave's hot chicken in the area! I had heard so many good things about this place in other areas, I was so excited to give this place a try. I love chicken sandwiches so I knew I was in for a treat. I always get the meal that comes with two sliders and fries , and always share it with one other person because trust me those sliders are pretty big! I usually pick mild which has a little kick to it, my brother gets hot and it was pretty hot I would say! The fries are always freshly made whenever ... read more

There are pre-set combos for sliders and tenders - they come with sauce, seasoned fries, and sliced pickles. It was busy when I visited, but plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. For spice, I would suggest ordering one level spicier than your "normal" since it was a bit mild for me, but the flavor was great!

Not bad, good service though a bit on the pricey side. The fried chicken of any sort should definitely be eaten right away or it may become soggy

Idk what happened but the chicken just doesn't taste as good as when they opened. And it is a noticeable change in flavor.

The place is not so visible. But once I'm there everything is clean. This my first time trying the combo. The chicken was hot and juicy. The seasoning has various spice levels and it was great. I tried it with the honey to get the sweet and salty flavor. I will definitely go again. I'll recommend it to everyone from now on.

I came here crave some hot chicken. I love howling ray but not wanting to wait 2 hours for it. Been to other memphis hot chicken, but honestly they don't hit as Howling. So my friend recommended Dave hot chicken, just as good without the 2 hour wait. So I said Ill try. Well it is pretty freaking good. Got the sandwich and the chicken tender hot. First of all the line was not bad at all compared to howling. Just as good. Rimi the manager, I believe was her name was friendly and so was her staff. Chatted it up abou... read more
