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

Aesthetically pleasing once you walk in your greeted with some lovely Dave's hot chicken artistic impressions. The cashier that we talked to was very nice and answered all the questioned we had and welcomed us as first timers. The food was ready in 10 minutes or less and it was really good. I would say the mild is not that spicy but packs a ton of flavor, I would recommend the hot if you want that extra kick with some flavor and you can't forget their signature sauce if you ever want to cool it down! If you haven't checked t... read more

Worth the price. Chicken is outstanding but they're prone to messing up your orders so double check everything when you get your food.

Spicy and delicious. My husband and I get the mild and medium heat and they're just right. The macaroni and cheese is delicious as well as the cheese fries. The Dave's sauce is good too! The sandwiches are perfectly balanced and the heat doesn't hit as hard (we get medium on those). The tenders we get mild and they are great!

My husband had been wanting to try this place and when we finally had a good opportunity to go, it didn't disappoint! The fries were crispy and well seasoned, the portions were a good size, and it didn't take long at all to get our food. I ordered tenders and he got a slider/tender meal, both of us got medium, which was a nice level of spice. We were surprised at the sweetness of the seasoning, but it was tasty! The Dave's sauce was nice too. I want to try some of the sides next time and probably will get a slider bc I think... read more

When I was visiting family in Indianapolis recently, I had the chance to finally try Dave's Hot Chicken (I just found out they have a location in DC that I never knew about). I got their #3, which is 1 Tender and 1 Slider with Fries. It was good, nice enough heat without it being so hot that it's uncomfortable to eat. I liked that there was more meat than breading on the sandwich and it wasn't dry. I loved their Dave's Sauce and the Pickles were fresh. It was overall a good hot chicken sandwich but not better than a lot of ... read more

We came here for a quick bite before seeing a show at Old National. We were able to order and get our food very quickly. I have heard from people who have came here before that their spice can get pretty spicy so I opted for No Spice for my first try. I also have to get Mac and cheese whenever it is offered. My meal came with two tenders, fries, pickles and Dave Sauce. The Dave Sauce is PHENOMENAL. I could eat that on everything. The fries were seasoned well and crispy. The macaroni and cheese was delicious. My friend got ... read more

Food was really good! I got the combo number 4 which came with one slider and fries. I got my slider extra hot which is the second highest on the scale. The chicken was really juicy and actually quite spicy, fries were great and I like the sauce it comes with. Service was polite and quick. Ambiance was just ok, but definitely a convenient location.

This was my first time ever trying Daves hot chicken so I was very excited! Walking into the location, there were not many people inside, but the kitchen was busy. I walked up to the counter for my to go order, and the cashier was rude and told me it wasn't ready yet. Another staff member behind her had my bag of food in her hand and was chit chatting with other staff while twirling my food around. When I told the cashier I thought my food was in her hand, she rolled her eyes, checked, and sure enough, it was my food. Once I... read more
