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.

When we're craving Nashville style hot chicken tenders, we eat here. We order DAVE'S #2: 2 SLIDERS W/ FRIES Chicken sliders are served on a potato bun with kale slaw, pickles and drizzled with Dave's sauce. The chicken sliders are so tender and so delicious. Their potato bun is soft and blends very well with the taste of the slider, pickles, kale slaw and sauce. Their seasoned potato fries are crunchy and very tasty. It's casual dining and there are tables available all the time Order comes out in around 10 minutes, n... read more

I went to this location recently after not having Dave's for a while, and all I can say is that the food is still a great way to cheat on my diet. The service was actually pretty amazing, too, compared to what it was before. One server in particular, I think his name was Maic (?), went above and beyond and made sure my meal was perfect! Definitely will be coming back to this location based on the great service alone.

They finally added small rubber chair leg protectors... I can finally enjoy a lunch without having screeching chair noises being dragged across the floor.

We seen a bunch of Dave's chicken commercial decided to give it a try. This place is nice tidy restaurant with many seats and quite clean. Customer service is great at Thai location. We had a problem with the order and after signing the waver for the reaper when we got it. It was missing a slider the gentleman warned us and allowed us to try it and kind enough to change to non reaper. The chicken is quite juicy and tasty. If you are looking for good spicy chicken then try Dave's Hot Chicken.

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!
