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.

stopped here after a long day at Universal Studios. The place was new, so it was crowded but the line moved very quickly. The staff were super helpful and gave me their personal opinions on spice levels. I ended up with a medium and a hot. The medium was a great level of flavor and spice, without being unttolerably spicy. It was a good amount of food as well. I would definitely return.

Spicy chicken has been on my radar for awhile with all the chicken places entering the O-Town area. So, the opening of Dave's close by, an open mealtime, plus reading their very good reviews on Yelp meant a stop at DHC needed to happen! I arrived at suppertime and walked right up to the counter to order Dave's #1, two tenders, crinkle fries, pickles, and Dave's special sauce to-go. Having done my homework, I chose medium heat so I could enjoy the taste. Then the wait began, but only long enough for me to walk around the fai... read more

Good chicken sandwiches and fries. I went late after Christmas shopping. I wasn't disappointed with the food. I hope it's always like this. The "Hot" was entirely too hot lol I thin I got medium or mild but it was still a good spice level. I only got 1 slider with fries but my bf got 2 sliders. He only ate 1 and took the other to go. I don't think you need 2 sandwiches in one sitting.

Just like I imagined it. I got the extra hot two sliders and fries. I want to bump it up to the reaper because I love hot and the extra hot wasn't enough. Very filling large chicken portions. The fries were so fresh and crispy. Slaw was crunchy and tasty. So good, I had a craving for it the rest of the week, lol.

We got the mac and cheese and the fries. Chicken was good, it's a dry rub which is unique, it's spicy and it's not a liquidy mess. The mac and cheese wasn't great. French fries are yummy. kale slaw was good if you like that. The toast was just a piece of white bread. so... yeah. it was alright. they did have HIC popping pink lemonade so that added a star.

Four stars for the amount of food and the customer service! While the chicken was overall pretty ok, I got one mild and one medium-- you couldn't really tell the difference between the two. My bf got no spice and he stated that there wasn't any flavor at all. The food was prepared pretty quickly, and the person who served us was so polite and explained the menu to us. The restaurant was PACKED when we arrived around 930pm, but we were in and out in about 10 mins. I recommend eating at the restaurant, though. We live less tha... read more

I am HUGE on spicy chicken sandwiches & it takes a lot to impress me with them!! I am the type that likes when the batter is seasoned rather than a "spicy sauce" is slapped on the bun. With that being said, Dave uses a batter & he does it perfectly!! This sandwich was impressive. The chicken is well seasoned, juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The kale-slaw is delicious & the sauce tastes similar to a chick-fil-a sauce. The crinkle fries were well-seasoned & had an amazing crunch to them (its typically hard to ... read more

First time going here. Place is very clean. Cashier was nice on letting me know what flavors to get. The Mac and cheese wasn't that good, tasted a bit watery. But the chicken was really good. I got it in mild because I didn't want to get it too but I I definitely recommend getting something a bit more spicy. Added honey on the chicken and it really enhanced the taste. Fries were good but just a little salty. Overall I would definitely go back to visit.

I got the chicken slider with fries and a side of Mac and cheese. It was all delicious and fresh. I went on Saturday for my lunch break and it was a little busy. I didn't get a pic of the Mac and cheese because I ate it all right away. It it was delicious. The place was clean and modern. Very nice and good food!
