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

I heard so many good things about Dave's Hot Chicken but I was let down. We did get take out so I'm sure that affected the quality but even taking that into account, it was not what I expected. We ordered a #2 slider (2) meal and a #4 Not chicken meal and tried the fries, slaw and Mac n cheese so it's a good sampling of everything on their menu. Mac n cheese tasted like the stuff out of a box and was overcooked to the consistency of mush. My side of kale slaw was only half full. I assume it was full when it got packed many h... read more

First time at this location because we were in the area. Placed our order through the app and got the usual Dave's #2 extra hot. Worker was friendly and order was correct however I've found that the spice level at Dave's can be inconsistent sometimes. Today our extra hot wasn't that hot but still good nonetheless!

Dave's Hot Chicken is one of the best chicken sandwich places I have tried. I crave their Dave's Not Chicken Sandwich! It's as good as it looks on the commercial. Every time we go the employees are friendly. Last night Zennia was our cashier. She was so very nice, patient and helpful when I was deciding about getting a side of slaw. The kale slaw is gooood. The ambiance is nice colorful art. The dining area is always super clean.
