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

Not only the food delicious and worth the price, but the service and mood is also amazing! Today I was helped by Ruth, who is both professional and kind. I was in a pinch today and she helped me cover my meal! (Talk about going above and beyond) If you happen to find yourself in the area and craving some chicken, come to Dave's hot, they do not disappoint!!

I really like this location of Dave's Hot Chicken. Their staff are personable and friendly. The customer service is excellent and the food is delicious. I got the chicken tenders with fries combo. The medium spice level is not that spicy but it's flavorful. The fries were perfectly crispy. Plenty of seating outdoor and indoor.

This location always seems to have really wonderful and happy people taking orders. Joelene is second to none. She is so upbeat and always offers a very high level of customer service when we go. My kids LOVE the chicken and the new "UnChicken" cauliflower slider is awesome. The fries are our favorite in the area and I truly mean it when I say we're always happy to see Jolene and the other wonderful souls that work there.

The chicken is good, fresh and well done but I don't think anything stood out enough for me to think of this place for future meals. I do think the portions should be a smidge larger for the price point. The place definitely has a neat look with all the wall art. Service was a decent speed for fresh chicken. 

Business response:

Just tried this place for the first time! The chicken is delicious and juicy but crunchy at the same time! But what made my experience so awesome was Marissa at the front counter. She was so sweet and friendly and totally patient when I couldn't decide what I wanted! 10/10 experience! Will definitely be going back!! 

Business response:

Big thanks for the love and the 5 stars! We're all about making sure you have a fantastic experience, and it's awesome to know we hit the mark.
