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

Mmmm. SO GOOD. For once, those commercials with the people dramatically freaking out over how good the chicken is, are not false advertising! I stopped in for lunch and ordered the meal with two chicken sliders, thinking they were actual (small) sliders but to my surprise, they were normal sized sandwiches! I don't know how Dave did it, but he managed to make the chicken AND fries taste very unique/different from other fried chicken joints. It was a fantastic experience I was not expecting. Definitely check this place out!... read more
Dave's Hot Chicken is absolutely worth the hype! The tenders are juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with bold flavor. The heat levels offer something for everyone, from mild to "Reaper" hot. The sliders are massive, topped with crunchy pickles and creamy slaw--pure satisfaction in every bite. The fries are crispy and well-seasoned, and the comeback sauce is a must-try. The portions are generous, and the quality is consistent. Whether you're a spice lover or just hungry, Dave's delivers big on flavor, heat, and value. High... read more
Food was great Andy was very helpful and nice!! I'll definitely come back here again for those chicken tenders and fries!!
I don't know what kind of magic Dave's working in that kitchen, but this place absolutely slaps. The chicken is crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned -- like it got a PhD in flavor. You bite into it and just KNOW you're not going back to plain old tenders again. I got the spicy combo with fries and slaw, and every bite was perfection. The heat level was just right: enough to wake up your taste buds but not so much it ruins your day. The fries were crispy and golden, and the slaw? Refreshing with a little zing -- perfect to cool... read more
The customer service was lovely, providing quaint instruction on how to utilize discount offers and preparing food with amiable punctuality.
Got fast service, delicious fresh hot chicken, lots o' fries (more than a portion) on a rainy day to go. Love the perfectly spiced tenders. "Hot" is perfect! Had enough for leftovers.
Would've gone 3 1/2 stars if available. First time trying - and really didn't live up to the hype for me. Thought it was just okay. Customer service was fantastic however if it is your thing.
Business response:
Sorry to hear the food didn’t live up to your expectations, Fatboy. We’re glad to hear the customer service was fantastic, though. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll give us another chance to impress you in the future.
I liked it, got the #4 hot for $11 and ate it while mom was shopping. Hot definitely had a kick with no water but it was tasty, didn't get a chance to use the sauce but the rest was good. Flavorful, nice, slightly sweet, spice to it because I don't like the straight up sour buffalo spice type. Four not five star because they skimped on the slaw in the sandwich, I didn't even realize it was supposed to be in the sando until the last bite which had one bite of slaw.
Business response:
Thanks for the feedback, Julie! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the flavor and spice of the hot chicken. We apologize for the slaw issue and will definitely look into improving that for future orders. If you’d like to share more or give us a chance to make it right, please reach out at dhcfeedback.com. We hope to see you again soon!
The chicken here in general is super good . The sides all are tasty . The place is spotless including the bathrooms. The service is really good for a fast food place . They have a parking lot they share with other vendors. So parking is not an issue .
