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.

Lunchtime on a Monday. The place is crowded, but not packed. The drive thru does seem to be doing a brisk business. The menu is pretty straightforward - Hot chicken two ways. You can get a tender or a slider. The sliders is a tender on a bun with pickles and some sauce. I opted for one of each - I got one mild and one medium. The tenders are well cooked and quite crunchy. The mild was definitely not hot and the medium had a bit of kick to it, but not what I would consider hot. I also got a side of fries. They were crinkle cu... read more

Ordered on DoorDash. Got the 2 sliders (1 no heat, the other mild) w/ fries and a side of macaroni. The sliders are huge. Definitely only needed 1. They were really good. Would definitely recommend getting mild or spicier because the flavor is great and works really well with the sauce. Macaroni was just ok. Nothing special super special. Would go again for sure.

Dave's is hands down, the best! Their food is incredible, the staff is great and our orders are always right! The app is super user-friendly and I am amazed how accurate the orders always are. We tend to order for 5-6 people at a time (working in a 9-1-1 dispatcher center) and everyone never complains about the food or accuracy of their order. Everything is fresh and ready when we pick it up. You have to try the tenders with the mac n cheese. It is to die for! I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy and they offer so many differe... read more

When we arrived, there were a few tables that had customers who were waiting for their food. It took a little while to get our order placed, even though there was one customer ahead of us. I'm not sure why it took so long for their transaction to be completed. It looks like starting from June 1, people have to ask for single use items, such as the cutlery and the ketchup packets. The cutlery and the ketchup packets were in a container at the front near the register and there's a sign on it that said, "starting June 1 peopl... read more

Went in on a Saturday for dinner. Was pretty busy inside but was able to order right away. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I ordered a hot chicken slider and a extra hot strip with fries. It ran about $16 which I thought was a bit pricy. It took about 10 minutes for the food to arrive but was worth the wait. The chicken was juicy and the spice is a dry rub. The sauce is awesome, similar to Canes or 1000 island. I felt like it wasn't really all that spicy so you may want to order on the hotter side. The crinkle cut fri... read more

First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken & it was delicious! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the food took a long time through drive thru & it wasn't that busy. Very hot & fresh though so it was worth it.

If Dave's Hot Chicken got a million customers, then I am one of them. If Dave's Hot Chicken got five customers, I am one of them. If Dave's Hot Chicken got one customers that one is me. If Dave's Hot Chicken got no customers then I am no longer alive.

Great location. Clean and very pleasant place. The bathroom was absolutely spotless. Was greeted by very friendly staff. Placed order. The order was ready in no time. The chicken was very crispy from outside and nice and soft inside. Huge plus they do have halal certification.
