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

Loved this place! The service was amazing, and everyone who worked there was incredibly kind. I ordered the hot spice level, which was perfect for me because I love spicy food. Adding the honey to the chicken was a game changer. Also, there was enough food in the order that I had leftovers for lunch the next day!

I'm a fan! Dave's Hot Chicken is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I appreciate that you order at the counter, as many of the other restaurants in the area are sit down. When ordering, I imagined the sliders would be small but they are the size of a normal chicken sandwich! Between two of us, one meal with two sliders and fries was more than enough food for our appetite. The chicken itself was very fresh and the breading was delicious! I like a little heat, but the medium was plenty of spice for me. If you're sensit... read more

This was my first time ever having Dave's Hot Chicken. I was a little skeptical from the reviews for this location, but I'm glad I took a chance! The food is very good. My husband and I ordered the sliders, tenders with medium and spicy level, and Mac n cheese. Chicken was flavorful, not oily, and just the right spice level. Mac n cheese was creamy and seasoned well too. Order came out fast and staff was friendly. I'm thinking this location was struggling a little when it first opened with the mixed reviews. But this place s... read more

First time and will not be my last. Dave's was absolutely phenomenal! The vibes were great. The food came out fast. The meal was filling but not overwhelming. The tender I got was mild and the burger was hot. It was perfect. I love the flavor and seasoning; I have never had fried chicken tenders like that before.

This place is GOOD! I loved my sandwich. The chicken to breading / seasoning ratio was spot-on. The acoustics in this place suck though, it was soo loud and the staff is fairly unpleasant for the most part. Just loud and visibly over it. Lol you can tell they don't want to be there. But that's fine as long as my food comes out hot and yummy. Wish there was an option to sit outside to escape the noise. Also, the Hot is HOT. The sliders are full sized sandwiches

Sliders were good , good spice on the hot ones . I was disappointed at how runny the mac n cheese was . It's like a fresh milkshake with cold fries . But overall I'd try it again .

It was good. Better leftover. I went for lunch and got something spicy. The chicken tenders were really big so a small order is cool.
