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.

Had to come back again to this amazing halal chicken joint. Lena was amazing as usual with taking my order and helping me with the menu. The rest of the staff helped make my order very quickly.

For a "fast food" chicken sandwich, Dave's Hot Chicken is super great! Wouldn't even be able to tell if someone said it was from a mom and pop shop.

Download the app to get free items. Servers were friendly. You can choose your level of spice. We ate the slider which was good better than a lot of places that have chicken sandwiches. There are few tables to sit. Would come back to try the other items in the menu.

I've eaten at the LA restaurant years ago back when they were serving it in a parking lot. Still so good. So cool to see them expanding and for good reason. Delicious meal. So easily 5s because the food is bomb, filling, and the value is terrific. A sandwich, fries, and pickles for $11? Incredible value. I loved that about my meal and the flavors back up the hype. I got a medium slider and fries (Number 4) and I'm still stuffed 6 hours later. They gave a hearty slab of chicken on mine. So tasty. The flavors are so good o... read more
