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.

2.75 stars. We came on a Sunday afternoon around 1:00 PM, hoping for a quick order to go. 2x Sliders with Fries Combo ($13.99) - 3.75/5 Two Chick-fil-A size sandwiches with a Small-Medium quantity of fries. The dry rub comes on both the chicken and fries. Chicken: Sizeable and well flavored with their dry rub. Good smokiness to it. Fries: Crinkle cut, standard. Medium spice: slight hint of spice, about the same as a Chick-fil-A spicy chicken. Hot spice: noticeable heat but nothing over the edge. Thing I did not like about t... read more

Don't let anyone tell you different! The HOT is hot, just a dry rub instead of wet. Chicken was very juicy.

I finally tried Dave's Hot Chicken! Walking in, I noticed that the cashier was doing alot. She was the only one up front taking orders, grabbing them from the counter and handing them out. Even though she was the only one, she was upbeat and friendly and kept things moving, even though there was a steady stream of people coming in. Unfortunately, it took over 20 minutes for me to get my food and I watched people get their food in 5-10, so that was dissappointing. Shout out to the staff though, because it was busy and it seem... read more

Cute restaurant and very clean. Very spacious and bright. it's somewhere you'd come with family or a cool lil date. Food was DELICIOUS! definitely would come back. Very fresh and flavorful!! i loved the dave's sauce. It was expensive, like $15 for the meal but i saved a whole tender for later. So essentially i got two meals out of it. Only one girl worked the register and you picked it up from her. She was nice!

The tenders are larger than I was expecting. I got the hot heat and it was pretty good. A lot of hot chicken places mislabel the heat levels. Orders were taken quickly and I got a free milkshake for checking in on Yelp. The vibe was cool too. I liked the lighting and the paintings on the wall were visually appealing.

While the interior design and layout of the restaurant was fun, I was a little disappointed in the quality of the chicken for the price. This is by far one of the most expensive hot chicken restaurants I've been to. The flavor was not bad, but the breading kept falling off my chicken. The best part of the meal was their mac n cheese.
