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 got two hot tenders with fries. Flavor was more of the bitter chemical spice , when it comes to spicy food I think there is two kinds - chemical bitter heat and spicy fragrant delicious , these tenders were the first. The pickle slices they put in the order really helped with the flavor and heat. Without them I don't think I would have finished it. Taste wasn't that amazing. The reason though I gave 4 stars is because I liked the concept of the restaurant and how they also threw in bread fries and pickles and the tenders... read more

This is an amazing hot chicken sandwich. Tender, juicy with a kick, but still really enjoyable. Go, get it hot with the sauce and pickles and you're welcome.
This is a must try spot. The honey with the reaper was fireee. The square bread with the tender goes perfect together. For hot chicken spots I would say this is the 3rd best one in ny
I have been wanting to try out Dave's Hot Chicken for a while and am so glad they opened one in in NYC. I went and hot the 2 sliders with fries level HOT. I am so glad i went with regular hot and not extra hot like i would normally do as the sliders were so hot that it left my mouth hurting for a bit. the fries were good but not enough. I would have liked a better portion size for the fries. the dave's sauce was pretty good, it was great drizzling it over the fries and the sliders. the price of the food was a little higher t... read more
Seriously the best hot chicken sando! The reaper is amazing (must like serious spice) the staff is always super nice and shoutout to Abraham who suggested I try his new on the reaper. Wow! Game changer!! I have tried so so many chicken sandwiches in the city and while Dave's is not the fanciest in terms of atmosphere - the taste is THE BEST!
place is clean the food is alway on point fresh and hot . the staff is freakin awesome
Line was crazy but then again it just opened. Chicken was seasoned to perfection and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Fries were good. The mac and cheese was not good at all. It was like KFC Mac and cheese or Kraft lol. But yeah overall the chicken and fries were on point.

Oh my God. The reviews are not false. So I have a super spicy pallet. So I ordered the reaper sliders and the woman who is super friendly and nice said I had to sign a waiver. I said seriously? It's that spicy? She said oh yes. I said I'll go for the extra spicy then. She said good choice. It was phenomenal. Super spicy and super delicious. I don't think I'm trying the reaper!!
Go here and not to shake shack. This chicken is sooo good and the sauce is fantastic. It kinda reminds me of raising canes chicken except with way more spice and flavor! I ordered a medium spicy chicken sandwich which came with fries. Overall 10/10 :) and the workers are super niceeee
