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.

Dave's Hot Chicken delivers bold, flavorful Nashville-style hot chicken that's juicy, crispy, and packed with heat. Their spice levels range from "No Spice" to "Reaper," catering to every tolerance.

Sides like crinkle-cut fries and mac and cheese complement the main dishes well. The portions are generous, and the vibe is casual and fun. Prices are fair for the quality and size.

Out of all the hot chicken sandwiches in Chicago Dave's seem to get it right. I've eaten here a lot. And every time they are on point. The new loaded fries are amazing. The cauliflower bites are very tasty. And the sliders are always great. The service is always great. The place is always clean.

Amazing service, my cashier was eager to explain the menu to us and answer all of my questions! He was extremely nice. I got the #2 with two sliders and a side of fries. I love spice and i don't think hot is enough for me, but it would be for someone who likes spice a little bit but can't take real heat. Extra hot was a good spice level for me; the kale slaw was alright and the sauce was pretty good. THE HONEY WAS AMAZING WITH THE CHICKEN!! Would definitely recommend asking for the honey packets. I also got the lucky charms ... read more
