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.

This is the BEST chicken restaurant in OC! Context: I don't normally like fried chicken restaurants but Dave's hot has really good seasoning and a lot of different spice levels. They also have good sauce and honey packets and the honey is what TAKES IT HOME! Their Mac and cheese is really good too. Luis is always the one working whenever we go in and he gives great customer service-always so friendly and hustling to make sure everyone is happy. Def recommend this location!

I get the hype about Dave's Hot Chicken. I heard about it for awhile before getting it. We ordered take out and experienced the intense flavors at home. Perfect balance and sweet and spicy with the honey. Don't pass out on the honey!

About to try their food for the first time, but had to comment on how excellent the customer service was. It was refreshing to have someone be so personable and helpful. Also, the place is spotless!

From the moment we walked in, Luis (who was at the counter) made the experience a complete joy. He was SO friendly, welcoming, and made us excited to try a new restaurant we hadn't tried before. Excited to return :)
