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.

Great food. Very salty but I guess that's kind of what you order. I recommend the top loaded fries. I ordered a regular but it ended up being too much for me. I recommend the small size. My boyfriend liked his food a lot and he had the slider with fries and he had a medium, but he didn't think the medium was hot enough so if you really want hot, try to go hotter. Good experience overall, and the decoration is well put together. Thanks Dave's hot chicken!!!!

Went to Dave's hot chicken for a quick snack. Got a chicken slider and thought it was OK. I was very underwhelmed for all the hype that this place gets. The chicken tender was fresh and crispy and juicy good size. The flower was OK but nothing special. I did not get much Dave sauce on my sandwich though. The price on one slider was quite hefty for basically a tender and buns. I prefer Starbird over this place and would go there instead. 

Business response:

We appreciate you stopping by! Sounds like it was solid but not quite what you were hoping for—maybe next time, we can change your mind.

Delicious tenders for eating by themselves or in a sandwich. They have different levels of heat and should satisfy just about anybody's "heat" requirement. The fries that accompany them are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The available condiments (honey, ketchup, sauce, etc.) are perfect accompaniments. The staff there is friendly and efficient. The interior is an upscale "tagged" type room. 

Business response:

Love this breakdown! Sounds like you know exactly how to enjoy Dave’s. Hope to see you again soon!
