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.

Let me start by saying if I could give extra stars I would. I come to this restaurant often and usually have great service but tonight was exceptional! I was greeted upon entry and felt the welcoming energy. As I walked to the register, Taylor greeted me again and was so very helpful in giving suggestions and very patiently at that. She offered extras to enhance my order, substitutions, and was very thorough with my order! The kitchen prepared my food in an extremely timely manner might I add! Having Taylor take my order... read more

Easily the best hot chicken spot in the midtown/downtown area. Can't go wrong with the sliders and Mac n cheese.

It's great that they have their own parking lot.. especially for being in downtown. The spice levels I feel are hotter than other hot chicken places (not a bad thing). The sandwich is small but big... so don't order the extra strip combo unless you hungry hungry. Crinkle cut fries are so basic but I loved these fries. So crispy almost like they were battered. Dave's sauce taste like ketchup, Mayo, and bbq sauCe. Again... not a bad thing. Strangely addictive. Would I go out of my way to come... probably not but if in the ... read more

Yummy chicken. The sliders were more like 2 regular size chicken sandwiches imo. GIGANTIC. I love that the bread had a hint of sweetness and was very soft. As chicken tenders the flavor of the extra hot was really good. A little less breading and it would Hv been 5* all the way but I would give it a solid 4.5 for sure lol

We came to Dave's hot chicken after visiting clutch city cluckers. So when we ordered the spiciest level at Dave's, we were expecting it to be similar or hotter, especially because they request that you sign a waiver. Not sure if it was the time that we went (Sat night around 10pm) but they didn't have one of the items I had originally ordered (they did issue a refund) but I was a little underwhelmed. It's not bad at all and I am open to giving it another chance. Probably earlier in the day and probably not on the weekend.... read more

Food is great! Service, well, that was an interesting experience. Went in on a Saturday night, my party ordered our food and after taking our order, the cashier ran outside and was gone for about 20 minutes. We could see orders coming out of the kitchen so the guys went in to ask if it was ours. A very confused worker came out from the back and started processing the food for the orders. We finally got ours and it was very tasty. Chicken well seasoned and crunchy, slaw great and those pickles though- yum! The fries were grea... read more
