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 wanted to like Dave's Hot Chicken, but it turned out to be just average. While the chicken had a good level of spice, it unfortunately lacked depth in flavor--tasting more like plain heat than anything else. On a positive note, the fries were crispy and well-seasoned, which I enjoyed. The service was decent; you order at the counter and pick up your food when ready. The setting is casual, and it's a plus that they stay open late. There's also a decent-sized parking lot, which is convenient.

Shout out to Mel, she is so sweet and full of excellence! I appreciated the awesome customer service. Chaundra was also so kind. Thanks for your kindness and smile (heart). The food was A1 and the ambience was too! Parking is a little tricky but it's worth the try and hassle (depending on the time you arrive). My friends loved it so much!

I only recently discovered Dave's, and I love it so much!! The chicken sandwich combo with mac and cheese is SO delicious and filing! The medium spicy chicken is just the right amount of heat, and I love the crunchy pickles! The mac and cheese is delicious and always satisfies the craving for some good mac! This meal really fills me up and I usually can't even finish all of the mac. It is just a great deal for a meal, and I can't wait to come back soon!! :-) This location also has a decent sized parking lot and some spots ... read more

Niece in town and heard about the place via TikTok and insisted we check it out. We went on a Wednesday afternoon ... place was not just. Plenty of parking in their parking lot and plenty of street parking. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Unsure of the heat levels, they offered great insight. We went with one plate hot and one medium to compare. Fries were crispy with great seasoning. Chicken was cooked to perfection... moist on the inside and not soggy on the outside. Hot has a slight kick to it and will get your no... read more

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
