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

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.

I went there last night for the 2nd time ever and had to come write a review. The chicken was absolutely flawless! This place is crazy busy, even though it was a Tuesday night. We ordered the #2 (2 sandwiches and fries) and a side of 1 tender. This was for the wife and I and we loved it! The chicken is soooo crispy and fresh, and had amazing flavor. The kale slaw, pickles and dave's sauce really blends nicely with their chicken. The potato bun is also a nice touch. We ordered the medium, as my wife can't handle that heat. It... read more

When you're craving fried chicken, Dave's is exactly what you'd think of- crispy, flavorful, and HOT depending on the level of heat you get. My boyfriend and I both got the Dave's Combo #3, which was a chicken tender, chicken slider, French fries, and their special sauce. It was $13.99 for the combo, which I thought was a meh price considering portion, but it actually really filled us up. It comes with pickles which I love, and they already had pickles in the sandwich so I love that we basically get extra (think it comes wi... read more
