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.

Nice and chill place to get some delicious chicken. Since it was my first time, I decided to try the Light Mild seasoning. The chicken was moist and juicy, and the spice was just the right amount of heat if you're looking for just a touch. Place wasn't too loud which I appreciated. Service was quick and friendly. Will try the mild next time!

You have to be very careful with the spice even a mild is extremely hot. The service was quick. It was easy and I spoke quickly so you have to listen clearly. The seating was just tables and chairs not be good for a quick lunch or dinner.

Love the chicken. Always so juicy and spice is on point. Big parking lot. Wish they had more seating inside though.

Great spot for lunch! I've ordered here a few times and each time the chicken is juicy and flavorful. The medium isn't too spicy which I appreciate since I can't handle too much spice. I love the pickles on the side and the fries were crispy.

If you're chasing heat and flavor, Dave's Hot Chicken in Wayne absolutely delivers! We went bold and ordered Dave's #3 (1 tender + 1 slider with fries) at Reaper spice level, plus mini sliders, fries, and a Coke to balance the fire. And yep you actually have to sign a waiver to try the Reaper. That alone should tell you what kind of heat you're dealing with. The chicken? Insanely good. Juicy inside, crispy outside, and that Reaper spice hits like a truck in a delicious, tear-inducing way. The slider was loaded and flavor... read more

Manager was very hospital and came and asked every table how everything was and if we needed anything. Love that the chicken is halal and we can find daves literally anywhere we travel. This specific spot is great with customer service so we keep going back. Excellent food btw! The sliders and tenders are both very good.
