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

We went there when it first opened and wasn't very impressed but after a few more tries at other locations, we came back and the chicken is fantastic. Can't wait to come back. Chicken is moist and perfectly cooked, next level!

Dave's Hot Chicken is super consistent with their food. One thing that is certain in life is how good Dave's chicken sandwiches are, especially this location. My go to dinner meal with my partner is the #2 Dave's Chicken Sandwich with fries. We add an additional slider, with cheese and medium spice for all. We love to pair it with their Mac n cheese. Only thing we don't grab is the drinks, as they are a little too pricey. You are able to order 3 ways! Online, in store or drive thru. The convenience is the drive thru, as ... read more

Came in with a friend and we both got the extra hot 2 piece tenders. It was the best tenders I've had in a while, the heat on it was just right. The order came out quick too, and the cashier even accommodated my friend when he asked for extra honey. Would definitely would come back next time!

We tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time today. I have been wanting to try this place for months, and we LOVED the food! I went to the Irvine location via the drive-thru. I was the only vehicle, and it took about 10 minutes to receive the food. I was ok with this because when I got home, I knew my food was clearly freshly made by the temperature of the food and the crispiness of the chicken. I ordered the #2 (Medium) for a friend, and #3 (Reaper) for me. The cost was $30 and change. I at first thought it was cos... read more

I'd ridden past this place so many times and wondered about how good the food might be. So my hubs and I did a drive thru thing. I ordered the extra spicy chicken slider with fries. My other half ordered a mild slider, a tender, and fry combo. I loved that the chicken wasn't breaded. Instead it seemed like it had an awesome dry rub. Mine kicked some serious keister! Spicy food is my jam, for sure! It had a little bit of some kale slaw, and pickles to top it that worked really well. And the fries portion was just right. My... read more

The food was really good. Very flavorful and plenty of food to keep you full with the meals. For someone that doesn't like too spicy, the lite mild was perfect. Wide range of spices so plenty to choose from. The service was also good. Sufyan was very helpful and made sure to ask if we needed anything. Very attentive and answers any questions about the menu. Also, the location is very clean and nice decor. 

Business response:

Sufyan is on a roll!!! Thanks for the recognition Rima!!! Come back soon!

Location is very clean and has plenty of space for indoor dining. Service was very friendly. Evelyn helped us out and explained the hotness levels for the spices. If you're not used to spice, I highly recommend the mild. 

Business response:

Yes definitely start off with the mild if you're not used to spice! But work your way up because the other flavors are delicious!
