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 in Los Ángeles and I wanted to know what the hype was about so we stopped in for dinner. It was thankfully not packed when we went in so we were able to order and get our food pretty quickly. We ordered the Dave's #3 & 4 with a side of Mac and cheese. I will say the Mac and cheese was probably our favorite. I will also say that the sliders were better and more flavorful than just the tenders. I love their simple menu. It would just be great if they sold ranch or other dipping sauces since I was not a fan of the daves s... read more

Took awhile to get our meal and the seasonings on the chicken are very different from other hot chicken I have. I've definitely had better hot chicken. However their spicy is very spicy if youre looking for a good kick.

We'd really love a second chance to make this right. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

Service was polite. Food is yummy. Every time I order via online the order is correct (4 times now) Can't get any better than that.

This might be the best hot chicken sandwich that I've had -- the sliders are the perfect size with flavorful, juicy chicken breast, kale coleslaw, pickles, and a yummy sauce. I tried the Dave's #2 ($13.99), which comes with 2 sliders and nice crinkle cut fries. The HOT level spiciness was a good amount for me to make the slider still enjoyable. As a bonus, you can also check in on Yelp to get a free milkshake! The chocolate one is a good thickness and pairs well with the fries too. Definitely would come again since I think... read more

Only reason I'm not giving a 5 is because it was soooo spicy! Not their fault. Service was excellent and overall good. Just be aware that it is spicy!!!!
