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 food is great and we'll worth the hype!! I got it in Hot this time which was a little bit too spicy for me. The Medium is also really good and flavorful, I'll probably get that from now on. Super packed on the weekends though, so I'd recommend doing carry out.

Had been hearing a lot about this place and wanted to get in to check it out. Once I realized I was in the area of it, I had to stop in. In checking out the menu online, I opted to place the order there and go in to pick it up. I ordered Combo #2 which is two sliders (I added cheese) and opted to sub out the fries for the Mac & Cheese. I like a little heat so I decided on Medium. I really like the Dave's sauce and regretted not getting fries to put it on. For my son, I ordered Combo #1 which is two tenders and fries. He like... read more

Our Dave's isn't open yet, so I figured I'd try this location since we were near it. And I am so glad that I did! I wasn't aware that the sandwiches were sliders, so I was a little confused looking at the menu. When I got my food, I realized that the pieces of chicken were massive, and the buns were so soft. The Dave's sauce is pretty tasty as well. I got the No Spice version, and I was pleased. I'm a punk when it comes to spicy foods, so I appreciate the fact they have something for us non-spicy lovers! The fries were nice ... read more

Love their hot chicken! I usually get mild heat level as I can't handle too much heat. I'm very happy they have the option to order ahead online. I find myself always craving!

Dave's Hot Chicken is my favourite place to eat on Michigan Ave. The food is fire! The best chicken sandwich in town. Anytime I pass by it I want a sandwich so bad!! I always get the #2 which 2 chicken sandwiches, make sure to ask for extra sauce! Mac & cheese isn't good to me but everything else on the menu I love spicy and I've had the reaper, it's not that spicy and I didn't sign a waiver so nothing to worry about. My wife get mild and complains about the spice to be wise with the spice level you choose

Food was delicious and the potions are great. People complaining about price don't realize if you went to McDonald's you would pay more if not just as much for crappy food. The price is very fair and the food is amazing. We will definitely be back!

Nice go to spot for fresh delicious food. I've been here twice, and first time they forgot something in my order and gave me a coupon for a free meal on my next visit. Any place that gives a free meal is a plus in my book. The bun is soft and the medium has spice but nice flavor and the sauce is good as well.

I love how straight forward their menu is, you honestly can only get 5 different things (sliders, tenders, fries, mac, or slaw). so simple! but.. some people may say that's a con! anyway, I ordered a #3, which was a slider, a tender & fries with a heat level "medium." I also ordered a small strawberry shake, it was OK (I've had better). My bf ordered a #1, tenders with fries with a heat level of hot. they are a bit pricey but it's filling so it evens out. As far as the wait, it wasn't too crazy. We walked in, it was maybe 3 ... read more
