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.

As a super fan of the YouTube show Hot Ones, not to mention hot chicken sandwiches, I had long awaited the day I would sink my teeth into Dave’s legendary Hot Chicken.

Normally, I would be down to try the hottest sandwich available, but since it was Valentine’s Day, wisdom seemed a better choice than danger. I’ve had a few experiences with hot chicken sandwiches that led me to spending a painful evening in the restroom, a cramping stomach, or both. I did not wi... read more

Had a great experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken! The chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious—crispy and juicy. But what really stood out was the service. Jolene greeted us with a big smile and walked us through the menu like a pro. Super friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. She really went above and beyond. Will definitely be back

Dave’s is always peak and this location is no exception. But this location has the new boneless wings and I tried the buffalo flavor. Perfect spice level, great ranch, not too soggy, and huge portion for the price. Doesn’t top their sandwiches but a great menu addition nonetheless. Some of the best boneless wings around too. Hope they come to more locations!
