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

Coming in HOT! Dave's Hot Chicken has been a monthly recurrence for me. It just checks all the boxes when it comes to Nashville style hot chicken... trust me on this! I onlllyy get the sliders here (combo #2) and I always get my order "hot" level. Any higher than that and I honestly just lose sense of taste and can only feel a burning sensation lol (and I have a pretty good tolerance for spicy food)! For the reaper level you'll need to sign a waiver for that- it's no JOKE! Be warned! Their fries are crinkle cut like Shake ... read more

Had one of the best chicken sandwiches from here! This spot is a small but roomy fast food restaurant that has an adequate amount of seating. Theres only four combos on their menu so it wasn't hard to choose what I wanted (only sandwiches and tenders). However, there are multiple spice levels you can choose for your chicken, from no spice to reaper (which according to my brother, a hot sauce lover, is pretty good) I got mild, which wasn't spicy at all but had a great amount of flavor. Both the chicken and fries were very cri... read more

Very average for a hot chicken place. The medium slider lacked flavor and the hot slider had so much dry spice on it that it was over the top and unenjoyable. The side of fries was very small with too much seasoning. I'm confident I'd rather take my fat ass to chick-fil-a for their spicy chicken sandwich. I'll leave 3 stars as not to be rude but it's really a 2.5 star place. Dude S over and out.

I'm in love! I was in the area on vacation and we don't have these where I live so I decided to stop in and try it. I ordered a party tray because I figured 10 tenders isn't that much food for two people (especially without any sides), but boy I was way wrong about that. The tenders here are HUGE! We got half the tray at the medium spice and the other half hot. My girlfriend enjoyed the medium, but the hot was more my style. The chicken was juicy and the seasoning was the perfect blend of spiciness and a little sweetness. I ... read more

Great addition to takeout (or eat in) chicken fare! Pick you hot level. Massive but tender.... ahhhh, tenders! Sliders are excellent, as are the fries and coleslaw. Yeah, I'm going back!
