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 trying Dave's Hot Chicken and I wasn't expecting anything so I loved it!! The chicken was buttery with a kick! And the pieces were big! Lots of pickles if you like that! And Dave's sauce did not disappoint! Fries were good and seasoned! Instead of lettuce it's Cole slaw so that was different and delicious. Customer service was excellent, everyone was nice and took the time to explain the flavors and menu! I love the location and access! Not bad! Will come back! Good stuff! Definitely try it!

I've been to many hot chicken spots but nothing compares to Dave's! The chicken is always hot,juicy, and tender. Spices are packed with flavor and have different heat levels for your liking. Forgot to mention the Dave's sauce and crispy fries which are a great compliment to the chicken !

Finally tried this hot chicken place. Safely chose a Medium spice level slider, which actually is the size of a burger. Next time I'll go one level higher. First taste was initially sweet with a spicier after taste. The chicken is large and crispy. Love the cabbage slaw and dill pickles in the slider and plentifully on the side. The sauce tastes like In N Out special sauce or like Thousand Island salad dressing. Fries are great crinkle cut ones and mildly seasoned. Service was sufficient. Inside is clean, quiet with gr... read more
