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.

Dave's Hot Chicken absolutely lives up to the hype! The chicken is insanely juicy, perfectly crispy, and the spice levels let you customize your heat adventure. I went for medium and it had the perfect kick without overpowering the flavor. The sliders are a must-try--huge portions and the pickles add the right tang. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned too. Staff was friendly, service was fast, and the vibe was casual but fun. Can't wait to come back!

I don't know what all the fuss is about this place. In my opinion (and my date's) this food was very average and not something I'm going to come back to. Ordered sliders which was nothing more than a piece of chicken thrown into a hamburger bun(?) that is folded over. Nothing special. Just an ok meal.

Had my first visit to Dave's today for a late lunch. Was a little put off by the prices when I ordered a slider. Took a few minutes to get my food--they were pretty busy--but man, was it good. Their "slider" is the same size as everyone else's "sandwich." The pricing makes more sense when you realize that. I got mine "medium" but will take it up a couple notches next visit. My chicken was moist and hot and cooked well. I will certainly return for more!

First time here and we were helped by Syria. She helped us with the menu and suggested items to order. What spicy level to order. We got medium and hot tenders and sliders. Their Hot is truly hot. If you can't handle spicy food, suggest sticking with medium and lower spicy levels. There was cool graffiti around the restaurant and plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Would definitely go back and recommend anyone to try them out!
