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 wanted something quick so I could get back to the hotel for a meeting. I chose this place because it said they had a drive thru. I couldn't find the drive thru so I went in. I should have walked out when I seen all the people standing around waiting. I placed my order #4 (hot sandwich, fries and a drink). It took me almost 25 min to get my order. They were focusing on drive thru and mobile orders more so than in store orders. I finally got my order and left. I had high hopes because so many people were getting food the... read more

Dave's hot chicken has been the talk of the town for quite some time and I knew that I had to go check it out! We went in on a Friday night and the place was packed! Their menu is quite simple - you can get sliders, tenders, fries, Mac n cheese, shakes, and a few other items! We got the Dave's #2 which comes with 2 sliders and some fries with an extra tender on the side. Their chicken comes in different spice levels - we got the medium but I would totally get the hot next time! The meat is cooked to perfection - crispy on ... read more

The food was so good that it was worth the hour long drive it took to get there. The guy that was taking out was very nice and patient. Be careful which spice level you choose since the hot is nothing to snooze at.

They've gotten much better over the past year. Had some not so great experiences early on but they've nailed some large orders of mine recently. Good stuff, simple menu.

The best hot chicken in town for me! Dave's Hot Chicken hits the spot! The quality is consistent and the staff now is very friendly! Very good service. Kind, cooperative staff and food is prepared fast. When it comes to hot chicken, it is well seasoned, juicy, and very tender. Their fries are also amazing. I normally don't like crinkle cut fries but Dave's fries are always crispy and well seasoned. They also go very well with the sauce. The sandwich was also delicious and hot. Everything was delicious and I loved the custom... read more
