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.

The tenders were decent. I am coming around as it relates to tenders as I've been to a couple of places now that seem to have it right. A good balance of heat and flavor and the meat still juicy and tender. Hot and fresh also. The Mac and cheese were okay and the slaw was decent as well. Order was fast, we did drive through waited about two minutes to receive hot and ready food. Good customer service also. Pricing is in line with comparative competition which tends to be somewhat pricey in general for tenders, but I will ... read more

Ordered online and when I went inside for pick up I was greeted by the manager who was super friendly and helpful. The eatery was clean and had plenty of seating. Jacob the manager asked if I needed anything additional or if I wanted to add to my order. I really appreciate that. The sandwiches were delish. I ordered two sliders, one hot and one medium l. The hot is hots. I enjoy the spicy, honey, slaw and the sauce pull it all together.

I went with my cousin and she said it was her all time favorite hot chicken spot, so I had high expectations, and Dave's delivered! The chicken was fried to perfection, super juicy and very flavorful! I also LOVED the sauce that comes with the fried chicken. I can't really handle my spices though, and found the Mild to be the perfect level of spice :') The medium was a bit too hot for me, so for any fellow Yelpers who can't handle their spice, I'd recommend going with the mild. I also love that each Dave's is decorated t... read more

First impression; establishment was clean and welcoming. I ordered the 2 piece chicken tender with fries and a side of pickles. My spice tolerance is very high; so I decided to try their spiciest level which was the "Reaper". Needless to say but no fault on their end; it was as spicy as I thought and even had to get some hot sauce. The meal as a whole was very good; chicken was very well seasoned and not dry. Food Overall: 9 out of 10. Greeted with amazing customer service and very accommodating. Since it was my first time... read more

This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken after hearing about it for a while. It was amazing!! The service was good too. The staff were friendly and gave extra sauce when added. There were a lot of tables to sit inside and out as well. I got the spicy chicken sandwich with fries and a drink. The flavor was sooo tasty. Loved it. I got my daughter the chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were super meaty and so was the chicken in the sandwich. Definitely one of my favorite places for chicken sandwich.
