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.

Most of the "popular" chicken sandwich restaurants / fast food chains don't put enough seasoning on their chicken and you HAVE to drench it in sauce to find any flavor. NOT DAVES CHICKEN!!! Their food is hella good with hella seasoning and hella flavor. Screw chick filet and raising canes. Dave did us good everyone, he did us good.

I really enjoyed the great service and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I I love the fact they offer honey for the chicken sandwich and the pickles were a nice touch. I would definitely come back.

Daug, this chicken was . Ordered the reaper and was surprised at how tender and juicy the chicken was. Not the spicest chick ever but worth a try for sure. There sandwich had pickles and shredded cabbage which was a nice comb with the spicy mayo! Excellent service and really friendly staff! Would 100% recommend and go back!

Went into today around 4, not busy but fast service and very clean. Food was hot and tasty! The red boxes weren't the best but the food was still awesome!

Me and my family went there a few months ago. The food was great I wish drinks came with the meal. Very crowded but they were quick. A lot of young people work there and one young lady was yelling at her co worker saying bruh stop following me and standing by me. A lot of laughing in the back while cooking your food and playing around. Not very professional there but again food was good!

So, I heard a ton about this place. The place was nice and decent number of people. Overall, the food was okay and probably over hyped. 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 3 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

Tried out Dave's Hot Chicken today for lunch. The sliders were pretty huge and quite filling. You can choose the spice level and I opted for hot. Taste wise, it was good, and had just the right amount of kick to it without being so spicy that you can't enjoy it. The only downside is the buns as they were a bit too flimsy to hold it all together. We had the two sliders with fries combo. Fries were crinkle cut fries which I love, and they also give you extra pickles and Dave's sauce which I liked. 

Business response:

Thanks so much for leaving your review! We'd love a second chance to impress you and hopefully earn that extra star. Please connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc so we can make it up to you. -Julie
