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.

My barbershop is in the same shopping center as Dave's Hot Chicken. It's always packed So I decided to give it a try. I enjoyed the chicken, although I questioned it's origin, this was easily the biggest "tender" I had ever seen! Was l bigger than my hand . Tender & Juicy the SPICE was there too! Had a nice kick to it. I only ate One Slider left the rest to the wife. Overall I give the chicken 3/5. I still prefer "Raisin Canes". Dave is ok though. Give them a try. 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

I'm vacationing from out of town. I noticed Dave's Hot Chicken on my way into town and made a mental note to check it out. "How hot is it?" I wondered for three days. I made am evening run to the grocery store and decided to stop in for a single tender, which I had previously noticed on the menu. When I came in, I noticed the menu had gradations of spice ranging from none to "Reaper." I asked the cashier how hot the Reaper really is. She informed me the hot was hot enough for her and that she had not tried it. Reall... read more

Definitely worth a try -- several tries, in fact, because the chicken comes in many gradations of heat and it may take you a while to arrive at the one you prefer. The chicken is brined, coated with Indian-style spices, and deep fried, so attaining the right balance of heat and cumin is a matter of personal taste. For me, "hot" is piquant but not challenging, and quite delicious, but YMMV. I found the "sliders" unpleasantly overwhelming because of the heavy sauce and yet also underwhelming because of the insufficient kale s... read more
