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.

Wonderful food and staff. Highly recommend. Mild seasoning is just spicy enough and the fries are INCREDIBLE.

Where has this been my whole life. Definitely reminds me of my east coast Nashville times. Let's start here: fast food vibes, quick service, relatively affordable meals. Chicken was perfect. Spicy as hell but perfect. Cooked to perfection. And for my saucy guys - so much sauce. You'll love it. Seriously if you like spicy chicken sandwiches- go here. Better than Chick-fil-A. (Fight me)

First time coming here and the service was spectacular. Awesome environment, ate every last bite. Wettest mac and cheese, hottest, and crispiest chicken. 10/10 will be back. Thanks to Lucas for being patient with use being first timers, super stoked to have DHC here in Portland!

Wasn't sure what to expect from this place, and was pleasantly surprised. The guy working was super friendly and did a great job of explaining the spice levels (actually a healthy does of caution for my double reaper order). He talked me in to splitting it with a milder option, and I can't say he was wrong. For ONCE a place brings some heat! Went "hot" for my sannich and reaper for my tender, and will for sure go that route again. Nice to have a little balance. The quality of the chicken was some of the best I've had i... read more

Most of the time its amazing, but there has been one instance the sandwich was made with untoasted bread and was mushy. The sandwiches are super flavorful, as well as the fries and the fry sauce. So 9/10!

First visit to this location. Its got a cool, urban, graffiti decor. The dining area at this location is pretty small, and so is the parking lot. Although inside at lunch was quite empty, the drive-thru and take-out orders seemed steady, making for a bit of a wait for our food. Presentation was appealing, spice levels ordered were good, and fry portions large. Everything tasted good, on par with what you expect at a Dave's.

This place is the best for reasonable prices you can't beat it, they make their own special sauce totally worth stopping by for something for lunch if you're a big chicken fan. It can be pretty busy in this place but again it is worth the wait

Love this chicken sandwich place. Tasty and fresh. The coleslaw in the sandwiches is great and fresh made. I hope to more Dave's Hot Chicken opened in other cities.
