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.

I finally tried Dave's hot chicken. I couldn't decide on dinner one night and since I was in the area I remembered Dave's Hot Chicken was nearby. I went and the atmosphere is fun, colorful and lively. The cashier was very friendly and helpful with me choosing the level of heat for my chicken tenders. I don't likely overly spicey food so the cashier suggested medium heat. I ordered the 2 chicken tenders with cheese fries and no bread to-go. I got home and the chicken tenders were a nice size. Not too big and not too small. ... read more

After seeing a bunch of Dave's hot chicken employees eating at chick-fil-A, I've never been in a hurry to try it. They told me medium was hot but I didn't think it was. They have a cool outside patio area when the weather permits. Food was decent. With this place, Canes and chick-fil-A all within short distance of each other Dave's would be my last pick.

When it comes to chicken sandwiches on this side of town... absolutely unbeatable workers are always nice it's very clean! And I took my uncle for the first time and even living in the south he said it was the best chicken sandwich he's had! 10/10 stamped!

WARNING!! Food was amazing but I warn you and everyone that the reaper sauce is no joke and should be taking serious. I absolutely love hot food and I thought I was brave by ordering a hot slider and a REAPER slider and after my 2 first bites of the reaper I instantly wished I didn't get it. Please do not let your kids under 18 try the reaper sauce. I'm 26 years old and this will be the last time I ate a reaper pepper anything. Amazing fries and Mac and cheese tho!

The chicken and fries tasted pretty good, but not for the price. They give you sad white wonder bread-esque toasts and some sauce too. Paying about $45 for a total of 6 chicken strips and 3 orders of fries is pretty absurd. Not worth it in my opinion.

Looks like a normal drive thru, but WOW, a great eating place. The chicken was fresh and delicious. A place to try. Lots of spicy levels to try. Service is quick, little waiting. The chicken was moist and the seasoning is not a hard shell, but moist. Fries are standard. But the mac n cheese is very good.

Literally the best chicken. Their sandwiches are actually spicy, like to the point where you have to sign a waiver. I was in a lot of pain the next morning but it was totally worth it. The chicken is super crispy and really delicious. Their Mac and cheese is also surprisingly good and helps cool off the heat from the sandwiches. It also tastes good with fries. For some reason the Mac n cheese cheese sauce is way better than their actual cheese sauce so if you want cheese fries I recommend getting a Mac n cheese on the side a... read more

I come here a lot because it's so good. But this time I got the reaper tenders thinking it'd be something I could just laugh about but no. It kicked my rear end to Florida and back. Needless to say I got a medium tender as a buffer. The servers are always nice and Donae was super sweet. Always a great place.
