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

Stopped by for a late night meal. We ordered the two slider combo and it was delicious. Don't let the sliders name fool you, they were full size sandwiches. We had one medium and one hot and the hot had a good amount of heat. The fries were good also. They survived the ride home and stayed crispy.

Very nice, spicy, crispy and nicely cooked. Taste lingers on taste buds. Definitely will taste it again.

Chicken sandwich and tenders are superb. It's hard to get the tenderness right but they got it done perfectly.

We went for a school fund raising and liking the food that we ordered. We ordered some chicken sandwiches and chicken fingers. The favor was good and I ordered the hot and it's a good heat but not over power. They also open late and parking is plentiful.

This place is A-1. I came with my daughter for a bite and ordered #1 combo. Good came out hot and quick. We had a slight issue with the chicken and when brought up to their attention, man they wet above and beyond to make it right. They not only refunded but also replaced out meal, brought it to the table. It's hard to find places now a days to eat where you are treated with respect and this place is it!!

Drove by this place and thought "a chicken sandwich sounds good for lunch" so we pulled in the try it. One word- impressed! Simple menu, kinda like Raising Canes, just chicken tenders and chicken sliders- but with way more flavor and spice! I ordered the 2 chicken slider meal and wasn't expecting much! The chicken is served hot! Like burn your mouth... hot! Large portion- way more than just 2 little sliders. I ordered "Lite Mild" spice and glad I did. It had a lot of flavor and spice. Definitely don't order anything higher ... read more

Oh my chicken goodness!! I've been eyeballing this place since it opened but never found the time....... I'm a start making time!! Sooo good, tenders and sliders but they're not sliders. Let me explain.... Sliders are usually a smaller version of a samich but this son of a gun is fully grown. Spices, sauces, fries, Mac n' cheese. If I was you I'd be reading this on my way here

I tried Dave's Hot Chicken for lunch today. Parking was easy as it's located in a shopping center. The inside is vibrantly colorful with cool artwork and signage. The young man who helped us was very friendly. We got two orders of Dave's #3: 1 Tender + 1 Slider w/ Fries. Both the heat level for the combos were Medium. We also added cheese to each slider and one combo was with Cheese Fries. In addition, we ordered a side of Mac & Cheese. Everything was delicious. The chicken tenders were crispy and juicy, and the heat level o... read more
