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 came back here for lunch and it's even better than before. Food was fresh and hot. I forgot the lady name at the register but she was so nice. Sometimes you can tell that people are being nice just for the job. You can tell that she was genuinely nice and I left feeling satisfied. It's a nice casual place to eat. The hot flavor on the chicken has a nice kick. I'm nervous to go one step higher. Maybe on my next trip I will try the extra hot or reaper.

My kid loves this place. His taste, as a 12 year old isn't quite gourmet. But the ambience hits right. Bonus points to the staff for taking care of our kid and offering him a drink. Chicken is 'aight. Tenders somehow lack savory chicken flavor and are served on remarkably Sunbeam-style white bread. Regardless, we enjoy the shop and it's often friendly service. Cheers to the Chicken that sustains our Chids!

I absolutely loved Dave's Hot chicken. From, the moment I walked in, I felt so welcome by the staff. The cashier taking my order was so patient with me since it was my first time. Answered all my questions so well. The place has such a great urban vibe. I love the graffiti murals. It wasn't full when I went, but I can imagine it gets busy since the food is so good. I did a take out order of the chicken sliders. Let me tell you, I was surprised when I opened my meal that they call these sandwiches sliders! After having the ch... read more

Went at about 8:30p on hump day. The place was empty aside from a couple people waiting for their orders. I ordered two sliders a hot and an extra hot with mac & cheese instead of fries. I was told by a friend that the sliders are small and I would need two. He was wrong. The sliders are pretty huge. One was enough with a side. So far I've only eaten the extra hot slider and it's pretty good! Not the best I've ever had, but great place in the neighborhood that I can see myself going to every once in a while. Mac was all rig... read more

One thing about me... I will always say yes to hot chicken! I was having a conversation with a friend and she brought this place up and was surprised I had never tried it. 15 minutes later we were on our way to Dave's hot chicken! I like some spice but my friend recommended I get the mild since she found the medium to be unbearable. I regret listening to her because although the mild did have great flavor it did not have the kick that I wanted from "hot chicken". I ordered the slider and tender combo and WOW the chicken wa... read more

Always been passing by this spot, finally had a chance to try Their hot chicken sliders are top notch. No complaints at all. Ordered the medium spice level and had a slight kick to it Fries were alright Friendly staff! I understand it's midtown and parking spaces are scarce, but when a lot is shared with a food hall, it can be a little stressful to find a spot sometimes (Side note, Found it a little funny that one of the employees walked in with a bag of Popeyes)

I have had better "hot chicken" from other places in the city. I ordered a medium spice level but to me I would consider it mild. I tried my sister's "hot" level chicken and it was still not that spicy. So if you want spice you have to level up. The coleslaw is made with Kale. It's supposed to be a healthier version. It was ok. What was off putting was that I came with my family after putt putt golf. This was the closest halal restaurant downtown that was open past 9pm. We were a family of 8, so we had to slide a few of ... read more
