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

Interesting concept at this restaurant Open late Appropriate portion control The chicken had a lot of flavor
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
Food was meh, not bad, medium spice was not spicy at all, kale slaw was wet and soggy.

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!
Visited again last week, place was not like the last, trash was not overflowing and tables were clean. We enjoyed this visit much more than last time.

This is a mixed review because overall flavor and juiciness of the chicken is on point but I'm questioning the "hot" in dave's hot chicken! I can definitely handle a good amount of spice so the first time I went I got a medium and a hot. I did my research and was expecting my mouth to be on fire with hot. But my experience was very much not. Flavor was good but minimal heat! I thought maybe I need to up it. So I decided to try again.. came back today for the extra hot and I swear this "extra hot" was more mild than the mediu... read more

Love the chicken. Little trick I found was if you just want the chicken without the fries and coleslaw, you can order them individually (it's small print on the menu that's basically hidden) and it's cheaper. One of the staff members introduced me to putting their honey on the chicken, sooo good!

We are so glad you enjoyed your visit and appreciate you taking the time to post a review! -Julie
Dave's Hot Chicken was as it said on the menu, pretty dang hot but also very tangy and nice. Maybe it's cause I ordered Mild but the two sliders and cheese fries were great and the pickles were a nice touch to an already awesome meal. Service was great and it was kinda loud but hey, it's common with most fast food joints round here and it wasn't so loud I can blow my ears off nor was it as quiet as a mouse. Overall Dave, your chicken was freaking hot, smooth, cheesy, and creamy 10/10 would go again.
