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.

I like spicy foods and usually have raw chilies over my rice. Dave's hot chicken stimulate my appetite! I ordered both hot and extra hot sliders to try and they were delicious. I like the extra hot more than the regular hot and can't wait to order the reaper next time. The service was awesome too.
I'll be honest, my review is probably not fair. I ordered the reaper level chicken sandwich and cheese fries. The cheese fries came out great. No worries there, the sandwich on the other hand. It's barely edible. There is a disclaimer so maybe I deserve it. Truth is, it's not something you order if you're hungry. If you want to challenge your tastebuds go for it. Although I'd be surprised if anyone can do more than a bite. Order and share it with some friends. Outside of that, don't buy the reaper sandwich expecting a meal.

I have been dying to try Dave's chicken and see what the hype is about. I ordered their chicken tender sliders with French fries, not spicy. The fries were actually very crisp and the chicken had good flavor. It's not the most amazing chicken I have ever tried but it does have good flavor. I believe that for the price and flavor, it is a bit overhyped. The order did take a while since it was somewhat a busy afternoon. The menu is very small so the selections are limited.

Big portions. Delicious! Short and straightforward menu. I had medium which was reasonable heat for lunchtime. Fries were excellent and well seasoned too.

Solid (and spicy!) hot chicken. Dave's Hot Chicken offers a pretty limited menu (chicken tender either in a bun or on white bread, fries, kale slaw, mac n cheese) and that is A-okay cause the chicken is definitely the main attraction and all you really need. The "hot" heat is a tasty spicy with a definite kick. My usual order is two tenders or sliders and fries and it's a pretty filling meal. Staff is nice and helpful.

Customer service great, food 8/10 prices are over rated. The fact that you have to pay for extra sauce is wild
A jazzed up chicken tender. The kale slaw is not at all visible. Mac and cheese, nothing special, taste like kfc mac and cheese, taste. It's not worth the money. The best thing is that it was hot!

Was excited to see this chain open up a NYC location after trying it out in LA. The flavors were just ok, but they used alot of sugar in the chicken tenders not tasty.

Okay I'll be honest this was an impulse purchase. Slightly hungry and craving friend chicken and fries. This place had a high rating on seamless. To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect I ordered a #3: 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries -- medium heat First and foremost the portion of chicken was enormous I wasn't expecting that. Medium heat was plenty hot, I really like spicy food this was perfect for me. Medium heat is not what you typically get normally. It was really a lot of food I couldn't finish it. I ordered onl... read more
