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 went with the Hot option. It was good plenty warm really. But the insane part of my being thinks next time we will go the last 2 positions to the hottest. It is really really amazing chicken!!! It is plump, juicy, and very well seasoned no matter your heat tolerance. If you've never tried Dave's Hot Chicken, I think you are missing out!
I’ve been following Dave’s Hot Chicken on socials for a minute, and have been dying to try it. Now that I’m in an area where they have locations, I finally got my chance. The chicken sandwiches were really special. And the medium spice level was very manageable. I’ll probably go a little hotter next time. My only real complaint was that I wanted more of the sauce on the sandwiches, and the side cup they provided didn’t really make that easy. Although, that’s honestly a pretty small complaint. I’d very much recommend stopp... read more
Not a good experience...ok, some backstory, this is a place I would not have gone to without the insistency of my daughter. Dad, "you'll really like it, I love it". Walked by many times and it always seemed like a novelty and gimmicky. OK, let's go (keep her happy, right?!). My crew has suggested going here often since none of us had any experience, and I was always able to persuade them to go to Chipotle for a bowl of fresh veggies, rice, meat, sour cream and cheese. This is MY experience, your mileage my vary...I had ... read more
We loved Dave’s but recently their chicken tenders cost a lot and their sizes have dramatically decreased. The size is also inconsistent in the Brokow Rd shop that we go to. Someday you might get a decent sized one but other days you might get a really small one. The sauce amount has also halved, it simply is no longer worth the same.
Nice location but parking is difficult sometimes, friendly staff and clean spacious restaurant. There was a line but it moved quickly and food came out fresh and hot. They offer different levels of spiciness where the top level reaper requires you to sign a waiver. We tried extra hot, the rub is extremely salty covering the taste of spiciness fries also heavy on the salt. The dipping sauce tastes mayo heavy so I skipped on that. The chicken was good quality and portions pretty big for the price, and the bun is warm and soft.... read more
