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 rely on food delivery and this place is an ideal place to order from. Food is hot when it arrives and their fries are magically still crispy. Their attention to detail is about a C+ though, but has only occurred when picking up orders myself. Strange. I placed a large $100+ order for work and they forgot a sandwich. My last visit was pleasant! Drive thru does take long as others have pointed out but when there's no line, it isn't too bad. Sunny (or Sunshine?) took care of my order.

I will ALWAYS go back to Dave's! It's a solid hot chicken place and has never done me wrong. The breading it not too thick, mac n cheese is super creamy, and gives a good amount of pickles. I mainly get the Dave's #3 in Hot.

I like this store. We were in the area for a swim meet. My son wanted Dave's... we've been here before. I was able to park in front. Only two other tables occupied. We arrived just before the Saturday lunch rush. I got #3 one tenders and one son got a number one two tenders with fries. I like my spice level at hot it's just the right amount for me. Order was ready in a few minutes and I asked for a Dave's hot chicken sticker. I was given two stickers. The food looked really nice and fries were really good, light crispy outsi... read more

Gael was super cool and helped me for my first time trying Daves! I was trying to figure out the spice level that I was looking for and he was very descriptive and it ended up being exactly what I wanted! Food was also surprisingly high quality and I would def come back since its open rly late at night and not much out there with good quality food during late hours 

Business response:

Thanks for the shoutout! We will make sure your kind words get back to our team! Keep it spicy!

I have ordered dave's hot chicken on doordash a few times and the food is consistently so good! I get the two slider combo with fries. The chicken crispy, the spice is there, the fries are perfect, and THE PICKLES are the best part!! The sauce is also pretty good but feels like it's lacking something... still a good addition to the sandwiches. Going in person is a different story, especially if you go on a busy day or night, you will be waiting quite awhile. I usually only order delivery for this reason as it wouldn't be a... read more
