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.

Love Dave's so much, and this location is one of the very best! I love their cauliflower offerings, and the cauli bites were large and hot upon hitting the table. I have found that sometimes they just sit there in the back at other locations. I also got a cauliflower slider - it was great! The one thing about most locations is the heat scale is super varied. One location's medium could be another's hot. I ordered a hot and didn't find it noticeably spicy. Service was great - the cashier was friendly and kind! The food came... read more

I can't believe I finally got around to trying Dave's Hot Chicken! This location opened up in 2022. Wow! The parking is challenging here with popular restaurants like Yoshi's Sushi, Flaming Ox, Noah's Bagel, Philz Coffee, Bobaholics, etc. I like that they are open til late night. The service was nice and friendly. Spacious and crowded place with both outside and inside seating options. Nice and energetic decor. Three unisex single-user restrooms. *Dave's #4 (1 slider with fries): Served with kale slaw, fries, and Dave's s... read more

I really like this spot and the staff there. The ladies are all very kind and talkative. I'm starting to like the cauliflower versions but still enjoy the chicken as well. I'd recommend medium or hot. Just for fun we tried "reaper" and it hurt lol.

Dave's Hot Chicken Review If you're looking for bold flavors, a serious heat kick, and crispy fried chicken that actually lives up to the hype, Dave's Hot Chicken is the spot to hit. Specializing in Nashville-style hot chicken, this place knows how to deliver spice and satisfaction in every bite. The Food: The chicken is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and fried to golden, crunchy perfection. You can choose your spice level, which ranges from "No Spice" to "Reaper" (warning: that last one will hurt). The sliders are a favorite ... read more

Chicken sliders are good as always. I went with the "hot" level sauce. I'm pretty sure that's my limit. They have four basic combo meals, see menu pics attached. I'm not a fan of their fries, which are kind of dull. They really need ketchup. Parking can be dicey as there are a lot of restaurants in the same strip mall. There's also a huge City Sports gym right there! It's clean and fairly well kept. I've always been able to find seating. I think they have seats outside too. Workers are cordial. No other comment about th... read more
