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.

I recently went to Dave's Hot Chicken on an empty stomach after work and I left full and completely satisfied! The two piece chicken and fries came out perfect. The service I received from Ashley was excellent! She made my experience with this place well worth me going in. When you receive good food and good service, you're left with out words. I will definitely be going back for more, at Dave's Hot Chicken.

Good food, I got the mild it still had a slight kick. The medium had a kick and the hot was good if you like a little spice. If you like very spicy get spicer than hot. Fresh and good. Small menu selection. The one thing I found odd was they do not offer ranch at all. So if you like to dip fries in ranch your just out of luck

Hot chicken sammiches. I like me some hot chicken sammiches. There's some attention to detail here and I love it. I could personally go for a little more well done on the fries. I've never asked so I won't dock a star for that. They seem like good folks so I'd bet they'd oblige. If you ask me, honey on the sammich is a necessity. Appears to be the real stuff from the bees and not a corn kernel either. Hot damn. Thanks for selling me chicken, Dave!

Came here for the first time a few days ago. Ordered the slider and tender combo and got the "Hot" level spice per staff suggestion. It was right on since I enjoy spicy food. Tender and slider chicken were good, pickles were crisp. Fries were also good, dusted with a little seasoning and crisp even after a 10 minute car ride home. The Dave's Sauce packets have good flavor too. The combos should come with some kind of drink for the price you pay and given fountain drinks cost pennies.

Working up in Santa Rosa for the brief time I was in dire need of a Chicken Sandwich place and this was absolutely the best one in the area. The two sando's with fries is a dangerous combo!

Got the two chicken sliders and fries combo, with a "hot"spice level. They were great! Chick-fil-A, and Popeye's look and taste like garbage after eating here. Spotlessly clean inside. The food does take perhaps 5 minutes to get to you, but it's hot and crispy and worth the wait. My only caveat is the underwhelming Mac n cheese, but the kale slaw made up for it.

I got recommended by a friend and I absolutely loved it! Now I keep recommending it to friends and co workers. It is one of my new favorite places. The sliders are amazing with great spice. The cheese fries are also my favorite.
