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

With a number of businesses coming and going in the Ladera Center, it was nice to see a Dave's Hot Chicken pop up and I was hopeful that the food would match the hype. After finding room on the schedule, the family and I were finally able to partake one given evening. I was delightfully surprised and thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Dave's. The food was hot and tasty, service was polite and accommodating, and the atmosphere was robust provided by our community members. As the chicken wars continue, I would place... read more
Newbie alert! My sister recommended this place because she knows I love hot chicken. I came from the hot chicken capital of the world so I know hot chicken. I got the medium. I took advice from another customer who said he likes hot food but the hot is too hot. I should've went with my first mind and got the hot. Medium did nothing for me. The chicken taste more sweet than hot. I also ordered cheese fries and what a disappointment! It was literally just a piece of cheese slapped across the fries. The restaurant was visibly c... read more

Came in and didn't have to wait in line long. The dining room was a little messy but it could've just been less staffing late at night. My food came out quickly and it tasted delicious.

I have heard great things about this place but avoided trying because of the notorious long lines in the downtown branch! I am so glad they are finally opening another in west LA. The line in this branch isn't as bad! But you could tell there's a reason why there are so many people coming here. The bathroom was also clean which is a plus for me! Now, the food, if I need a word to describe it then it would be: ADDICTIVE! Dave's hot chicken is definitely in my top 3 list for chicken sandwiches! The sauce is special, the buns ... read more

This was my first time at Dave's Hot Chicken and I came for the collab with Drake (free tender or slider if you follow on TikTok or IG!) Pretty excited to try this out, will come back to add photos when I get my food. --UPDATE-- I am really impressed!! I didn't know what the hype was all about but now I know!! The chicken slider was MASSIVE!! I feel like other restaurants give you dinky child-sized portions when offering a "slider" option but Dave's Hot Chicken was definitely hefty. Personally my portion sizes are usually sm... read more
