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.

This was a seriously good meal of chicken. A *strong* 4-star review. I like heat, so I ordered a #3 with one tender and one slider Extra Hot. For me, the Extra Hot was the perfect level of heat. Left me sniffling and eyes a little runny, but very very tasty and just the right level of spicy. The chicken was tender and cooked well. I'll say that if you really like heat, the tenders are probably hotter than the sliders. It's the same chicken and spice, but the sliders come with pickles, slaw, sauce and bun and that helps mo... read more

Honestly a little disappointed. I love fried chicken and saw the good reviews for this place so decided to try it out. The fries were really good, but the chicken had a weird texture. It almost looked a little bit like fish. I kind of lost my appetite while eating the 2nd slider. Their special sauce is good and I also thought it was good value for the price. Chicken just wasn't that good in my opinion.

We'd really love a second chance to make this right. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

It kinda blew me away, how good this chicken breast sandwich and fries are, and to think it all started in some parking lot out in CA. Ive been back many times since and it's routinely solid. Addictive. 

Business response:

It's so crazy, right??? Thanks for the support!

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. The chicken is nice and not dried, not too crispy that it cuts your inner mouth either. You can choose your spice level and I usually go for mild which is enough for me. The chicken sandwich has a chipotle mayo sauce on top, has pickles and also some salad slaw in it. Pretty sure it is a nice soft potato bun too that is used. Service is fast and the workers are friendly. Th... read more

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. 

Business response:

Please do! Thanks for the support!
