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

My guy Tyler is dope and very helpful. I really like the staff because they were awesome. I love the professionalism and atmosphere. I like the food everything about it and that sauce hitting. All I know is I'm glad Dave's Hot Chicken is in my city and me and my family will be back. I like my Dave's Hot Chicken shot glass and thank you again Tyler. I really like what you guys got going on and keep up the good work. #daveshotchicken #damngoodhotchicken #doperestaurant #awesomecrew #goodeating God Bless!

Best hot chicken I've ever eaten in US. The flavors are unique. The chickens are hot and juicy. The staff were friendly. The store was pretty roomy and decorated modern.

Went for the grand opening. Waited 30 minutes in line. Well worth the wait. The chicken was fresh and served to perfection. After ordering the food took ~ 5 minutes to come out. The "hot" flavor is actually hot but the flavor is booming. I'd order again, but keep some water near. On my slider I got "medium". Truly Chick-fil-A has nothing on this sandwich. Unlike any chicken I've ever tried and that goes for both the tender and sándwich. The environment was clean and there was a man and another woman who constantly kept the... read more

Hot freaking chicken! Went to the soft opening of Dave's hot chicken on Mass Ave and it was fantastic! We had the 2 piece Nashville hot chicken sliders in medium and extra hot spice and it was great. The chicken tenders were juicy, fresh, and giant! Crispiness wise, they were on point and the dry rubs tasty and not just hot. The fries were hot and delicious, the chicken sliders came with pickles, kale slaw, Dave's sauce, as well cheese. I'm so happy Indy finally has some quality Nashville style hot chicken and I can't wait t... read more
