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

First time visiting this location and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent and I wasn't expecting the grand treatment for counter service but Rosie was the kindest and most helpful. We will definitely be back!

Upon entering I noticed 5 employees and not one hello. This spot is not what I'm accustomed to for Dave's hot chicken. I love their food just not this location. I ordered the mild as I usually do and didn't find it to be as flavorful as the same order at another location. Was super slow. Otherwise it's a new spot, cleanliness was top notch and I would try again in the hopes of a better experience. 

Business response:

Today was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and it was phenomenal. My order came out less than 6 minutes and it had a great taste. Way better than Chick-Fil-A & great customer service!

On a Saturday afternoon we were slightly hungry & curious to try yet another Hot Chicken Sandwich spot. We shared a Dave's #2 combo that provides 2 Sliders & Fries. Success! A soft, pillowy bun, a good size Tender that's crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside made for a very satisfying Chicken Slider. The Kale Slaw (wouldn't have minded a bit more) & really good Pickles add the vinegar punch & creamy Dave's Sauce completes it. The Lite Mild level of heat was just right. Fresh tasting, lightly seasoned Crinkle Cut Frie... read more

I had Dave's Hot Chicken one time and I was hooked! The cashier, Jerome, give me the best experience ever. I wasn't sure which level of spice to choose and he guided me through the whole thing because I didn't want it to be too hot. He even gave me extra sauce!
