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.

Dave's Hot Chicken is a must try if you love fried chicken sandwiches. I have been there several times and they are consistently the best fried chicken sandwich shop I've tried in Sacramento. Their chicken is tender on the inside and crispy and flavor packed on the outside. They include pickles, cheese and their special sauce. The bun is nicely toasted and fluffy and their fries are amazing!!! I like the look of their restaurant, the wall art, seating and their service is friendly as well:) I think their shakes are a lit... read more

Absolutely loved their food. They did get my order wrong as I asked for no cheese on my slider, but quickly corrected that by remaking one without cheese and let us keep the one with cheese. Their fries are super crispy and is just the right amount. Highly recommend this place.

Quality chicken, good sauces and the staff was very pleasant. Ate in the restaurant, tables, chairs and lobby overall very clean and spacious. Had a single slider and the balance between the pickled veggies and the chicken smothered in sauce and cheese plus the bun was very surprising. Delicious to say the least, was satisfied with just the one slider as it's a good bite of food.

This was the first time I've come here and I'll definitely be back. It was really good. Great spices and very flavorful. Shout out to Donald. Great attitude and very friendly. He even came to our table to see if we needed anything. Definitely recommend coming here.

First time trying this place last week and it was really good! I got a chicken sandwich and chicken tender meal. The Chicken sandwich was nicely cooked, great size and had great flavor. The chicken tender was really good and juicier actually. I got both medium spice level which was perfect spicy level (I am Hispanic) so if you want to go more spicy spicy go to the next level "hot." Also loved the coleslaw that's in the chicken sandwich & Loved the fries nice and perfect crisp touch. I definitely think this place beats raisin... read more

Brilliant graphics on the building beckons you in. Greeted at the door and had the menu options explained while we waited in line. Placed our order, got some water, and our order number was called in no time. HB ordered #1, I got #4, both with the "hot" spice as it was described as "Buffalo" heat. Buns/bread was soft and fresh. Loved the tender chicken, fries with just the right amount of seasoning, and enjoyed the half dozen pickles. Staff checked on us as we ate, even offered to refill our waters! Next time I want to get a... read more
