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

Full disclosure: I was bribed with a rubber chicken to write this review. Even so, everything I am saying is true because this place is awesome. The chicken is fresh and delicious. You might have to wait a few minutes but it's worth it. They offer different levels of heat from no spice to reaper. Reaper is legit hot. Employees are friendly. Kiele was very nice and followed up asking if there was anything we needed once our order was received. Ambience is OK. Metal chairs with wood tables, loud music, but the music selection ... read more

After some disappointing experiences at other Dave's, this certainly was a game changer! I tried the top-loaded fries and it was very flavorful. The Mac and Cheese was silky smooth. The cashier was also very kind. To top it all off, the shake hit different.

The bites were so good and moist. The help was great at helping us decide what to order. The medium hot was a bit spicy for our taste. We liked the mild the best. We will definitely be back.

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!
