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.

Amazing chicken sandwich! So full of flavor and the spice options are great. The fries, scrumptious!

Almost 5 stars. Ok so I was wondering what the hype was all about and finally decided to give it a go and got the Dave's #2 slider thingie thinking it's like any other slider I've had. Holy CLUCK these things were huge! The pieces if chicken could have fit in 4 buns. Impressive. The seasoning was tasty , a little sweet but probably my fault since I chose MILD. I love the whole sweet, salty, tangy thing but will go hotter next time. Sauce is good and u like that they put it in the side. The pickles were crisp and delicious to... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken absolutely delivers! The chicken was incredibly fresh, juicy, and perfectly cooked -- you can really taste the quality in every bite. The spice levels are spot on, and everything from the sliders to the tenders was packed with bold, delicious flavor. Great food, quick service, and a spot that's definitely worth the hype!

As someone who lives on the peninsula, I have to go fairly out of my way for Dave's. Luckily, the experience I had at this location made the commute more than worthwhile. First off, the food was incredible, as expected. I get the medium to ensure I'm not dying on the way home lol, also tried their slushie which was very flavorful. Cashier and a person who I can assume was a manager were very friendly and patient, and even checked on us while we were eating. Restaurant was very clean, and they made sure to take care of the st... read more

I came to eat here and I am glad I did. I ordered the #1 chicken strip meal. The chicken was very juicy and tasted great. The fries were the crinkle fries and I loved them. it comes with bread and pickles. The sauce was great for dipping your chicken in. The service was great. I was greeted as soon as I came in the door. The manager came to the table and did ask how everything was and I told her I loved everything. The restaurant is a little loud when there is a little of people. I would compare to a cafeteria loud. Don't ... read more

Kinda surprise that preparing the food became faster here compared to the recent times I come to this location. It's also one of the first establishments I go to for chicken tenders and fries. I don't go here often because of the service, but it changed my mind wanting to come back often now. I definitely should get the sides except fries since they don't get included in the meals. 

Business response:

We're happy that you're happy! If you have a minute would you mind connecting with us at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc to tell us how we can earn that last star?

Wanted to see what the hype is with Daves so we gave it a try tonight. Them tenders are big! Fries were perfectly seasoned but I kept it safe and ordered mild. Dave's sauce is really good and went well with everything. The sliced bread that comes with it evens out the seasoned. The employees were super friendly and service was fast. Dining room is spacious and kept cleaned. As for the sliders me personally I would get it without slaw and maybe on the side. My son did get hot level for his strips and it was a bit too spicy fo... read more
