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

Upon entering we were greeted by a very friendly employee. They helped us decide on what we would interested in. We both opted for a slider with fries and a soda. It was prepared fairly quickly. There are pickles on the sandwich as well as the tray. We enjoyed our meals. We arrived during a non-standard meal time. The building was quite open with an industrial atmosphere and decorated to appeal to the average college student and appeared to have a lot of tables and chairs (most were metal). It felt clean.

Halal chicken! YES! I ordered #1 which comes with 2 tenders and fries. The chicken was melt in your mouth and very fresh. We quickly got our order which was great since we were very hungry. The indoor and outdoor seating was very good, very clean and bright.

The food here is amazing, it comes out quick and the art on the walls is pretty cool. Service is always friendly. I've never been in there and had the bathroom be dirty, so that's a plus. It's pretty much exactly what you would think for a business who went from food truck to brick and mortar.

This was my first time at Dave's Hot chicken and I have to say, I was a little disappointed with the food. However, the service was pretty good and the interior of the restaurant was nice. I had high expectations for the food having heard good things about the place, but I was somewhat disappointed when I tried the meal. I ordered a #3 which comes with a slider with fries, a tender and a piece of bread. I ordered my chicken at the light mild spice level which was not spicy at all. If you want any spice, I would recommend get... read more
