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.

R Really didn't grasp the Hot Chicken concept! Fried chicken tenders with dry rum of various spice on the outside. Chicken was tasty but the flavoring was somewhat boring to say the least! Not my cup-of-tea 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

Giving Dave Hot Not Chicken a try while they still have it on their menu. Arrived during peak lunch time and there were a fair amount of people waiting in line. After a waiting period of 15 minutes I received my order and proceeded back home. Now to the chicken sandwich, it was outstanding and I even like it better than the real McCoy!! The Cauliflower had a nice texture to it and all the ingredients paired well with the sandwich!! Hopefully they will keep this sandwich on the menu permanently and I guess we will see.... read more

This is my first time trying the sandwich. There are many different levels of hotness so you can choose from. I opted for the mild. The sandwich was very tender, but the sauce was spicy. I love the pickles come inside the sandwich, but that's all there is inside. They're open until late which is always good for business! The staff was friendly as I didn't know which one to pick. Highly recommended. 

Business response:

So glad to have Dave Hot Chicken in town! The service was very friendly. I was always curious about the reaper but I was not sure if I can handle it . The cashier offered to give us a reaper on the side so that we can try. Here is the waiver if you want to try reaper 

Business response:

Heck yeah! We love a brave soul! So glad you tried our reaper! Now you can do anything! Thanks for the 5 stars!
