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.

Update: DO NOT COME HERE, CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS YET AGAIN! I posted a previous review talking about my experience at Dave's Hot Chicken and how they refused to give me and my fiance a free slider on the 24th for the Drake Birthday promotion after 9pm. The store contacted me and gave me a $10 food voucher redeemable at any location, which I appreciated. I went back to the 56th location today (walking 2 miles yet again) to use the voucher. I ordered a slider and tender combo, but when the cashier tried to enter the code I ha... read more

Went for the free slider that said it was ending at 10:44, and employees said it ended at 9:00 and I was too late ??

The line was so long today and there was no real effort on the staff's part to make the line go faster. Only taking 3-5 customers. I waited an hour and half for my chicken sandwich. The sandwich is just okay. If you want a quality chicken sandwich go across the street to Sophie's Cuban Cuisine. It is worth noting the slushy options are tasty. Inside the restaurant has no bathroom but a decent amount of seating. I wouldn't go back. The wait time was disappointing. It was obvious the staff did not want to give out the sandwich... read more

I ordered for the first time here and normally I look for an ingredient list when ordering from new places, but couldn't find one on the Dave's website. I can't have cilantro/coriander (I'm one of those annoying people with the genetic hatred of it) but decided to take the chance and order. The moment I walked in the store, I knew I wouldn't be eating the food. It reeked of coriander in there! I call it my "lame superpower." One taste of the chicken dry rub and I had to trash the whole thing, sadly. In-store ingredient list ... read more

This ain't it. Ordered 2 chicken Sandwiches with fries. No cole slaw nor sauce just cheese. I told them Mild. There was too much seasoning despite that. Chicken, fries the meal was good but there's too much rub. Unnecessary. It ruined the meal. BEWARE tell them no rub might as well because I ordered Mild & there rub overtook everything.

I wish I took a photo of our meals yesterday but when I tell you, I took one bite and threw it away. I'm being genuinely honest I didn't even give it away to a homeless person because it was so bad. My mind was boggling with how this place is even in business, when there are so many wonderful chicken places and other eateries in the city. It was just this paprika powdered bite. The flavor was so funky and it was on everything. It was on the fries. It was on the chicken. The only thing that tasted somewhat OK was the french... read more

Was really craving a good hot chicken sandwich so thought I'd try out Dave's. Honestly, could barely eat it. Was greasy and the flavor just wasn't there. Wouldn't get again.

At first glance the food looked amazing. Turns out food was mid at best. SUPER salty and DRY. WAIT time was about 30 mins. Dirty they don't clean the store. I now have diarrhea because of this establishment. Thank you Dave's Hot Chicken for the garbage experience!
