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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

I have only ordered delivery from them, but they deserve the 5 stars. No wonder every time I pass Dave's Hot Chicken they're always packed. You can see people lining up outside and inside. Every delivery I've had so far from Dave's Hot Chicken has been amazing. I have tried their medium spice level, hot spice level, and reaper spice level for their chicken sandwich. I usually get their 2-chicken sandwich with a side of fries. Upon arrival, which is about a 12-minute drive, the chicken stays crispy, juicy, and tender; along... read more

Wow! First time there and I will be back. Had the "Dave's NOT Chicken" caulifower slider and it truly was one of the best things I have ever eaten. The cauliflower "steak" was HUGE and the slaw on the side was fresh and crunchy. Cannot wait to eat this again...and maybe try the chicken! 

Business response:

Thanks a million for the incredible five-star review! You're the best! We're over the moon that you had such a fantastic time. Your support keeps us going strong!

Service is pretty good. Ambiance was a little confusing on what they were trying to present. The food was really mid. Like a little better than Zaxby's. A lot worse than Canes. Only thing really going for it was the size of the chicken "Tender".

I absolutely loved the sandwich and fries. I am giving 3 stars to the actual chicken tender. It was kind of hard and I didn't understand the reason it was on a slice of white toast with 3 pickles on top. If you are paying almost the same price for the sandwich why wouldn't you just get the sandwich? The tender that I ordered unfortunately was not good. 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie
