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

Amazing food. The chicken is very tasty and juicy, never over cooked. Fast service. Will come again.

Came here on a Thursday night before closing. Food came out fast and hot. I tried the #3, 1 slider (extra hot) and 1 tender (hot). The chicken was crispy & juicy. The slaw and sauce on the slider were also delicious. The biggest let down for me was the spice level. In my opinion the hot was very mild and the extra hot was just a medium level spice. I guess I'll have to try reaper next time. Also, the price was a little high for the value. I think I'll be back to try the reaper spice, but not for anything else. Nice to try it... read more

Delicious chicken! The medium was a great taste and in excited to try hotter next time. Mac and cheese could've been better but overall I was a fan! Would definitely recommend if you like fried chicken with a lot of flavor. A good amount of good too!

Pros: -Crispy chicken -Good amount of food $16.69 via Grubhub Very happy with this combo (1 tender, 1 slider, fries)! Maybe not my top fried chicken, but I'd definitely come back. Lite mild didn't seem spicy and mild had a very slight kick. The sauce is pretty sweet and goes well with the dry rub on the chicken.

After a flight delay caused me to get in at midnight, this place was one of the only places open to feed my hangry self. Omg. So good. I've never had any other Dave's hot chicken but this location didn't disappoint. Food was ready fast and was so flavorful. I do have questions about the random piece of bread that was included with my chicken tender but maybe it's a thing? Lol

Oof, what an experience. Open late and a great hang out spot, I came here with friends late on a Friday night. We ordered all the heats of the chickens between us, and we're so happy with how moist and juicy the chicken was. In terms of spice level, I would not underestimate the Diablo and Extra Hot! While the Reaper was straight painful, even for those with the highest spice tolerance in our group, Extra Hot was painful but more edible. Hot and below are a good mix of spice and enjoyment! We also tried the Mac & Cheese and ... read more

Great juicy chicken sandwich!! The sauce is great too and it was a nice addition to have honey packets to put on top. Fries are delicious, quick service and good prices too. Give them a try!!!

I ordered this on a whim from Uber eats and had a delivered. Knowing that delivered food is not as good as eating it in the restaurant, my hot chicken sandwiches were still amazing. Looking forward to actually eating in place one day soon.
