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 JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

As a first time diner here, from service, ambience, to the food, everything was top notch. Being helped by Arad and Zain, I couldn't have asked anymore more helpful and nice server to help me. Will be coming back!

My friends and I have been consistent patrons of this location since Lunar New Year of 2024. Many laughs have been shared at the tables, and many more tears that's for sure. On my most recent visit, I was tended to by Arad and Zain. Arad was nothing short of professional and demonstrated an exemplary standard of customer service. Zain, of course, showed much of the same hospitality. There was one moment while I was filling my water cup that I heard Zain whisper behind me, "I am Orobas." His words filled me with shock and i... read more

My polycule and I have been regulars since February, 2024. It's been amazing having a nice place to get good food and even better company. We are all big fans of both Dave and his smoking hot chicken. Shoutout Zain and Arad, who brought a lot of energy to their service today. They saw I was Vietnamese and even greeted me in my own language! Amazing hospitality, ambiance, and food.

Underwhelming experience overall. The menu is pretty limited -- mostly chicken sandwiches and tenders, without much variety. I'm not sure what all the hype is about. On top of that, you have to keep asking for extra sauces, which gets a bit annoying. Nothing really stood out for me.

George was super friendly and had me feel really welcomed when I walked in the store. He was super nice to me and made me giggle a little bit. and then he gave me the extra sauce. I got extra hot, so my tummy tickled a little bit, but the food was great. Will come back again for George.

Just Came to Dave's Hot Chicken and had an awesome experience. The food was amazing--crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. But what really stood out was the service from Mo. He was super friendly, helpful with the menu, and made sure everything was perfect. Shoutout to Mo for making the visit extra enjoyable!
