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

Be sure to try the new cauliflower bites when you come, they're bomb!! And shoutout to Christian for being so kind and making sure we were all situated and had everything we needed!

It's mediocre. Edible but not amazing. The bun is terrible on the sandwiches. You guys really need to invest in some better quality bread and then maybe it's a 4.

If I could give infinite stars I would, this location is always striving for quality and care through and through. I want to preface this review by thanking the staff and management at this Daves Hot Chicken location in Irvine, they took the time to resolve an issue I had with another location about not receiving half my order. When Daves Hot Chicken first opened up in LA in a parking lot, I was a long time customer since I was a young tween, the drive was always worth it. I've been on the hunt for the best high quality an... read more

Solid spot for good tenders and fries. The food is consistent which I appreciate! Service is always friendkh and ambiance is clean and low key. The fries are always crispy and hot. The tenders are always hot and plump and juicy. I like the extra hot, it's got great heat and maintains the flavor. I've tried reaper too, which is good but mostly just heat. My kids like the lite mild and mild. Solid place for our monthly fix! 

Business response:

Hey, big thanks for the high marks! We're super stoked you had a great time. Just wondering, what's the secret sauce we need for that perfect score? Hit us up at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc – let's make it happen!
