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.

I always get the best food from this business! The service is very quick and I always feel very satisfied. I love going through the drive through but I have been inside as well. From what I've seen it looks like a well maintained and clean establishment.

I want to preface this by saying the food is amazing. I have zero issues with their food and if I could I'd eat there everyday. That being said the chosen decor of the restaurant feels out of place greatly. The tables are stained with paint splatters, the floor looks like raw concrete was laid down and left as is, there is weird metal studs/baseboards that make it feel like the owners were trying to go industrial and failed... overall the inside is incredibly dissapointing to sit in despite how delicious the food is. 

Business response:

**Erika R.** Glad you love the food! Totally get that the decor might not be everyone’s vibe. We’ll keep serving up the deliciousness—whether you dine in or take it to go!

Extra hot is indeed, extra hot! Lite spice barely there. If you want a little heat, go medium spice! Juicy chicken, yummy! The sliders are full sized breast sandwiches so order accordingly. Try the top loaded fries, they are unique and surprisingly adventurous for your tastebuds!

Dave's hot never disappoints. My wife and I normally order through Grubhub and the food is always fresh, hot and crispy. We recently tried Houston Tx hot chicken and it was absolutely horrible. Dave's hot will always be the spot for hot chicken.

The food is fantastic! Love the chicken bites! The service is pretty good, however they drive me crazy moving the metal chairs across concrete cleaning. The ambiance is that of a random LA underpass from the 90's.

Howell is lucky to have Dave's. They serve "sliders," which I put in quotes because they are giant and essentially full sized sandwiches. They also have the option of hot tenders, hot cauliflower chicken patties, and hot nuggets. I recommend the slider with French fries. The fries are always temp hot, and seasoned perfectly. I added cheese to my slider on my 2nd visit, 10/10 recommend. I did try the Mac & cheese on the 2nd visit and would recommend just sticking to fries. It was very soupy; although it made a good cheese dip... read more

The food is decent, but it's overpriced. I don't think i'd come back, but they've got some good spicy wings.
