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

Hands down the best chicken sandwich I have had. Trumps Chick Fil A any day of the week. The slaw and pickle combination is a game changer! I love that you can chose how spicy it is too. I will never be going anywhere else for a chicken sandwich now that I've had Daves!
Chicken was juicy and not dry. Spice level was pretty accurate. Although i think the reaper one couldve been more spicy I had the reaper and the very hot version. Would come back again
Pretty impressed with Dave's Hot chicken... It's not without it's cons but certainly would go back. First, the staff was so friendly. They seemed to be having fun without it impacting the flow of customers and their job. That's the perfect scenario. They were really nice and cool, and still cranking out orders so quickly. There aren't many menu options at Dave's. You get a choice between 3 combo meals. And they're pretty much variations of the same thing. No matter what, it's 2 meaty tenders. Either it's on a dull s... read more
The chicken was surprisingly crispy, on top of being just straight up delicious. I went shortly after their grand opening, while the line was out the door, I had my food in hand in about 20 minutes. The menu is fairly straightforward, how spicy do you want your chicken? And do you want it on a bun? I tried an medium and mild. I thought the medium was perfect as it was spicy enough without ruining the flavor of the chicken or Dave's Sauce. Also had the fries and a strawberry shake. The shake was solid, not super thick, whic... read more
I was so looking forward to this place opening. I went opening day and once since. It was ok. Definitely tastier than, say, B.Good but not good enough to justify the price. It's not bad but the tastiest part is the kale slaw. The Mac n cheese is skippable. I like the sliders and the cost makes sense given the size. But there's just something missing for me. The dry seasoning on the fries just washes out the balance they might offer. I might go again if I'm craving a chicken slider but it won't be a go-to spot for me.
IDK I can't find out their hours because they don't answer phones. Would like to try going late but Yelp is notoriously inaccurate when listing hours of operation. Says open til 11:00 but I don't want to drive there & find out they close @ 9 or 10. BTW I haven't tried yet but would like to. What are their hours?
Came here with my sister when we were driving by and saw a giant line out the door and decided we had to try. Line moved pretty fast and service was super friendly which is always very appreciated when places are super busy! We got a mix of tenders and sliders and really enjoyed, chicken was perfectly juicy and well spiced according to the levels we had chosen. The portions and quality are really great for the price IMO. I would recommend getting the combo tender and slider just to experience everything. Hoping they turn on ... read more
There was no line when I arrived on Sunday night around 10pm. Although, I did noticed that they closed after taking our order and it was not 12am yet. I really liked the decor here and it was very appealing to the eyes. I ordered the meal with the 2 sliders. I was expecting the sliders to be much smaller but they are basically the size of a sandwich. Definitely too much for me to eat by myself and for the price, it is pretty cheap. The chicken was extremely juicy and the flavors were amazing. It was seasoned very well. I... read more
Solid option for some nash hot chicken in MA. During the first weekend of opening, we paid a visit to Newton and stopped in to get the chicken goodness. Lines were long but it moved fairly quick--they had all registers open and some folks on iPads also checking people in with their orders. The chicken was moist and they have a wide variety of spice levels. I went all in on the reaper and it had good heat and great flavor to it. Might not be for the faint of heart of course. Fries I thought were average. Pickles that come... read more
