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.

Dave's hot chicken... eh it's good, but definitely it used to be better. I remember when it first opened in LA we would go there often and it was our go to late night spot. The quality isn't the same, but I guess it's still good if you're hungry and craving some Hot chicken. Make sure to ask for honey, it is a great addition to the hot chicken (which was neglected with my order LOL, guy wasn't really in the mood). The only downside is when you order to go the fries get soggy and the sandwich gets kind of sloppy. If you don'... read more

This is my fist time in Palm Desert and my first time at a Dave's Hot Chicken. Josh, the cashier explained the menu to us, and the various levels of heat, as if he owned the restaurant. I asked if he's a manager and he said nope, just a cashier. It's rare these days to find genuinely great customer service. Hopefully the food will be as great but we haven't eaten yet so I will have to get back to that aspect.
