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

By far our favorite chicken place. The food is always hot, fresh, and just how you ordered it. We have been here dozens of times and the staff are some of the friendliest people I have ever met. The restaurant is always clean, including the bathrooms.

Cashier Anessa and manager Jolene are fantastic representatives of Dave's. They are friendly, upbeat, and knowledgeable. Give them a raise! The food is flavorful, fresh, and hot.

Excellent customer service by Anessa for a first time customer! Everything was perfectly described and lived up to all we'd hoped for. Glad there were choices for level of spice-I'm a 'mild' or no spice old lady... We'll be back!

Dave's hot chicken has some good french fries. This is a fast food place with mostly chicken on the menu. The place was busy and the service was helpful as a fast food place. It's cute with painted walls and neon lights, it's very busy place, all the way up to closing hour. 

Business response:

Service great, location lovely, sandwich bomb- def five stars. First time ever at a DHC and I went w the medium. Usually I'm pretty happy w just a plain chicken sandwich but I'm glad I tried it with some kick. The chicken was hot, in more ways than 1. Fries were seasoned almost a tad too much but hey they were hot as well with the right amount of crunch so I'll give those a definitely-will-be-back out 46. Yum!

Ordered the #4 with slider and fries with medium sauce. My other half ordered the #3 with the slider, strip and fries with the hot sauce. He said the hot sauce has a kick to it but totally tolerable and tasty. Slider is delicious, medium sauce has great flavor with very little spicy-ness and chicken is crispy AND juicy. Loved the slaw and the pickles are so good and while I love pickles I've never been a fan of pickles on a chicken sandwich I now do, so good. We both added cheese on our sliders, good choice. The sauce that c... read more
