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.

Food was super good and super filling. One of the better spicy chicken places i've tried. Mac and Cheese was super creamy too. 9/10

This location delivers better and tastier chicken. Their hot chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside. Each bite packs a punch of well-balanced heat and savory spices. The menu offers a range of heat levels, accommodating everyone from spice enthusiasts to those who prefer milder flavors. Ended up getting mild to medium and I must say, spicy good! The mac n cheese was tasty and creamy while their huge portion of crinkle fries generously seasoned and crispy to perfection.

When my youngest son, twenty-yr old Brad, came home toting a bag of Dave's Hot Chicken (DHC) sliders two wks ago, your favorite Yelp correspondent vowed to visit the neighborhood DHC, in West Covina. Sticking to a time honored practice honed by four yrs and nearly 200 reviews, I ordered their "money maker," i.e., the item that vaulted Dave's from overnight food truck sensation into a media darling and bona fide rival to Chik-Fil-A: Their hot chicken sliders, featuring near-burgundied chicken breast lacquered to a glossy sh... read more

Good location with a lot of available seating. I typically go with #2 (2 sliders with fries) and the food comes out quick. I would like them to provide more than just one sauce pack for the sliders so I can dip my fries in it as well. The parking lot can get crowded during peak hours (Lunch & dinner). 

Business response:

Wow, thanks for the kind words! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your time with us. How about we collaborate to make it an exceptional experience? Share your ideas at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc, and let's strive for that fifth star together!
