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.

Wow, you just made our day with your awesome review! Thanks a ton for spreading the good vibes – we can't wait to have you back!
I've been wanting to try this place for months. I don't live in the area and so I had to plan a visit. Jan 31 was the day. The interior is spacious and clean. Public restrooms, nice counter. They apparently do a good Door Dash business. I ordered 2 tenders with fries. I got one @ medium and the other at hot. When I opened the box, I couldn't tell which was which. There were actually 4 pieces in the box. The appearance looked suspicious. The breading was fine but it looked like a pepper salt was used for the range of heat ... read more

Food: 4/5 I ordered the one tender slider (flavor: reaper), and it was delicious. The slider has heavy breading, refreshing pickles and kale slaw to pair. I was asked to sign a waiver for the reaper level but did not find it that hot. One of the kind employees remade the slider and added extra of the reaper seasoning which was amazing. Overall, really crispy, juicy chicken which is also flavorful. For my taste, I wish there was just slightly less breading. Service: 5/5 I thought I might catch a shirt or picture finishing ... read more

It's a cross between Popeye's flavorful chicken and the freshness of Chick-fil-A, minus the multiple sauces. The chicken was good and place was nice but I think I still prefer Popeye's.

We're sorry for falling short of your expectations. Your satisfaction is important to us. Let's make it right at www.tellusdirect.com/DHC. Thank you.
We liked all of it. If you like HOT chicken, this is a place for you. I like how many options there are to customize your order and level of hear. I underestimated and ordered medium. Wow. Hot (for me anyway). Next time doing lite mild. The chicken is good, the fries ok, not a fan of crinkle fries, but ok. The staff was nice, place seemed clean and the ambiance was cool with the theme they went for. We will be back again.

Wow the service here is amazing. I've been here a few times and everyone has been so friendly it was a genuine surpise. I even went on drakes birthday for a free sandwich and they still even with a line out the door treated everyone kindly and took the time to take each and every person's order. My go to order is the sandwich combo and I usually get between hot and medium. one time I went and a worker named Michael was kind enough to share a small taste of the reaper when I was curious and I'm so glad he did before I made ... read more
This is hands down one of my favorite spots to grab fried chicken sandwiches. It's expensive for a chain, but it's well worth it, I've never had a bad experience here.

[SANTA ROSA] HAS DAVES HOT CHICKEN!!! I love DAVES for the food & service. I ordered to-go, recently. My 'go-to order' is the '#3: 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries'. Usually ordering a 'Hot' Tender & for the Tender 'Extra Hot' because the bun is sweet & had the kale coleslaw to cool it down. If you don't like the sweet bun of the slider then the Tender comes with a white slice of bread. - Chicken is plump & juicy. - Service is quick & friendly. - Sit inside or outside with a fast food service style. - Perfect for a quick... read more

Great service & good food! I love the ambience here. The food is always made super fast. I like that you can choose your spice level. Usually I order the #3 combo with a shake :) If you want a spicy, good quality sandwich -- go here! It's similar to Howlin Rays in Southern CA!
