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 walked in and was able to place my order almost immediately. I ordered the #3 medium spice level. The food was amazing. This is the best spicy chicken I've had. You could taste a little extra cumin but that only added to the flavor. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned, and the fries were phenomenal. The meal also came with some Dave's sauce, picked, and toast bread which was nice. I liked the decor, it was a cool vibe. However, when I got to my table, I noticed that it either wasn't cleaned properly or at all so I had... read more

It was ok. The chicken is topped with seasoning to give it whatever flavor you pick. Not the best if you have high blood pressure. Not a meal I would crave.

Came on free slider day 10/24. The restaurant was packed with the line going down the sidewalk. I waited about 30 mins in line & got a mild chicken slider. The chicken was very crispy & very well seasoned. I asked for extra Dave's sauce on the side. definitely would order again. The fries are ok. Not the best i've had. The restaurant itself is pretty small but clean. They also have outdoor seating.

Great quality food. Always fresh. The service is always friendly. Would recommend this place. It's a bit pricey, but it's so worth it.

My youngest son and I stopped at Dave's on a Wednesday night around 7 for a small bite. Dave's was about a block away from our hotel and I was quite intrigued. I ordered the two fingers and fries (hot) and my youngest son went for two sliders. Two sliders was a better portion! The Dave's sauce is really good. The service was good. I ordered the hot which had a pretty good kick to it. My only drawback was the size. 13 bucks I should get at least three tenders. For a quick bite with a lot of flavor I'd definitely rec... read more

I've been to Dave's Hot Chicken twice now. Both times, I've had the 1 Slider and 1 Tender combo, with fries. I have to say that I'm not overly impressed. I think the spicy chicken sandwich at Popeye's is better. The fries were crinkle-cuts that reminded me of grocery store Ore Ida's that you'd warm up in your oven. I did like the Tender, but only after I smothered it with Dave's sauce and honey. Still, it isn't something I'd go out of my way for. As it has been mentioned before, the value just isn't there.

This was so delicious! I got one hot and one medium, just incase the hot was too hot. Such good flavor, I love that it's a spice rather than a sauce. I would recommend anyone trying this. I will for sure be ordering again! Highly recommended!

Food is good . The place can get overcrowded with loud obnoxious teenagers but that's all of downtown west Dearborn . Most of the workers are nice and do their job . They do prioritize people who eat there over the ones getting carry out , otherwise I would've rated 4 stars .
