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.

Awesome people, clean place, fast service. Jay, James, and Lex were super good with recommendations when I wasn't sure what to order.

Parking was a bit tough, but the chicken was super good! I come to this location pretty often and the seasoning is always good, especially with the honey. 

Business response:

Parking struggles are real, but glad the chicken made up for it! That honey combo is definitely a winner.

Food is always good! There was a 20 minute wait though! I always go with the hot spice level and it is the perfect kick. 

Business response:

I had been in the area for a while and noticed this establishment steady filling up their parking lot, so yesterday I randomly decided to try something! I love the look and location of the establishment, and it looks really nice inside. The graffiti-sprayed walls adds a nice touch to its interior. Aside from the look, the food was really really REALLY good. I'm a simple man when it comes to chicken...spice (seasonings), juiciness, and crunch (crisp) are the three factors I look for. Dave might have the secret formula for all... read more

The hot chicken craze has died down a bit but I always enjoy a good hot chicken sandwich. I have been to Dave's Hot Chicken's location in Sugar Land quite a few times and this location twice. Located in Midtown, they do have a parking lot which is definitely clutch for this area. Service (4/5): This is a quick-service restaurant so service isn't a big part of the experience. Place your order at the counter and they will call your number once your food is ready. Easy. Ambiance (3/5): Pretty much what you would expect. Mod... read more

First time trying out Daves. The staff was A+++ friendly and helpful. ordered the #4. Chicken sandwich with cheese: spice level mild. the sandwich was good and I do like the flavor of the chicken. I would have went to extra hot spice level, because the Mild had not spice at all. Fries: I am usually not a fan of crinkle fries, but these were cooked nicely and I love the spice to put on it. sweet and tangy. dipping them in the daves sauce is a bit addicting. Chicken tender, extra hot: It was a very moist tender an... read more

My fiancé and I are big fans of Dave's Hot Chicken! This location is probably our favorite as the staff is just simply amazing. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the experience with the manager and everyone there was unexpected. There's more parking here, too, and for some reason... the food just tasted better! I think it's a less chaotic atmosphere and would absolutely recommend it!

Great food and great service. Has a nice patio too. So many different levels of spiciness. Pick your poison!

My friend Pat and I saw this place while walking to our Yelp function we decided to drop in on our way out. I took a picture of the menu and talked to the manager about the food. I did a check in and got a free drink. I was going to get it when I came back, but the manager said she saw it and gave it to me right then. Knowing me, I'll probably be back within the week for one of their delicious sandwiches.
