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.

Really simple and exactly what I'm looking for in a hot chicken spot. "Slider" (which was plenty big) comes with slaw, pickles, and their sauce, all making for a perfect bite. I went with the "extra hot" which was really good with the sweet/sour on the slider, but when eating the tender alone you can definitely taste the spice. While it isn't super hot, my mouth was feeling it even after leaving the restaurant. Staff was friendly, food came out fast, and I thought it was really well priced for what you get.

So I've been to Dave's 3 times now. The quality of the food has been consistent every time. If you like spicy chicken this place is definitely worth a try. It's unique. one of the only hot chicken places around the area . I got medium spice , chicken sandwich was good , crunchy , good level of spice kick and the extra pickles are nice. The fries and Dave's sauce aren't anything too crazy but decent. The tenders are a good size with white meat inside. I've tried a few spice levels and even tried the reaper which was burning... read more

This place is pretty good. I got lite mild on one tender and mild on the other. I think mild tastes better and has more flavor. The Dave's sauce is really good. I really enjoyed it. I think I will try medium spice level next time or at least stay with mild. The shakes are ok. Kind of like the ones you get at the buffets. But not bad overall. I would eat here again.

I drive for Lyft besides being a flight Attendant. You have already gotten rave reviews from me, a passenger of mine actually told me to have lunch. I was dropping him off in the neighborhood. Such a great choice. Who knew to put honey on a slider. You're welcome. Chicken was fresh and delicious. Staff was amazing. Overall. I'll be back and have already recommended it to both my passengers and friends. 

Business response:

The honey on the slider is a hack that unfortunately not all are brave enough to try. Glad you got to experience the amazingness of this

I tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time about a month ago. My first impression when I saw the menu was "what the heck?" I saw two tenders with fries and no drink was just under 12 dollars! I almost backed out of the drive-thru line! I'm glad I didn't. When I received my meal I realized everything was clearly made to order because it was piping hot. The pieces of chicken were very large, very juicy, all white meat, not rubbery in the slightest bit (I'm looking at you right now Cane's) and the mild seasoning added just ... read more

LOL thanks for not backing out! Our chickens are a little bougie but they work for what they got! We're glad you loved it!
