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.

Not usually my kind of food but after a movie we were looking for a bite & wandered in here. Decor is very...loud. Folks behind counter were really nice. Waited a bit but I guess that's a good sign that stuff is made fresh. Chicken was delicious. Crisp but not greasy. Honey & Daves sauce were yum. White bread... kind of pointless but I guess if u like wonder bread it works.

Big fan of Dave's Hot Chicken! Fortunately this location is relatively accessible to us so we have actually tried their meals before Drake's birthday freebie promotion, which I felt was very successful in expanding the brand awareness. A lot of first timers got to try their deliciously crafted chicken sandwiches and tenders. The menu is simple - they focus on what they do well and do it exceptionally well. Same chicken, different pairings and spice level. Choose from sliders/sandwiches or tenders, and pair them with fries. ... read more

Chicken was juicy, tender, crispy, spicy all at the same time, big in portion. Family of 3 cost $35 just FYI, although their 2 piece chicken tender platter can feed 2 ppl cause it was pretty good. Customers were was good, food was ready within 10 mins nice hot and fresh! I really like interior of place with red chairs and benches!

The food here is amazing, when they say hot they actually mean hot! I ordered the 2 sliders one medium & one hot. They were absolutely delicious & had the perfect amount of spicy. This is my third time back & haven't had a bad experience ever. The food is served in a timely manner & always fresh. The service is very quick & friendly as well. The restaurant has a great young vibe to it & lots of art all over.
