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.

One of the best chicken sandwiches and tenders I've ever had! I was very impressed by the special sauce and the level of spicy-ness for the "hot" option. I'm looking forward to trying the "reaper" next! 

Business response:

5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!

After seeing Dave's Hot Chicken in a reel I had to try! We tried the Mac and cheese; The cheese tasted fake to me, I was better off microwaving one from a Kraft cup. We ordered hot tenders (to go) and it didn't disappoint. I was worried it would taste like Tabasco sauce like some other places do, but it was seasoned well. All the seasonings had a party in my mouth; It tasted like real chicken, fresh, juicy, tender, crispy, spicy, and flavorful. *Update* I went again and tried their slider. I usually don't like cold sla... read more

The portion was extremely small compared to what my peers had ordered. I received a tender the size of about 2.5 McNuggets. The picture shown is after 2 minuscule bites. The flavor was phenomenal and the sauce was decent. The workers are ver nice and handy. I will come back and try to get my tenders the right size again.

My friend told me a Dave's hot chicken had opened walking distance from the gym so obviously we had to grab some protein after a work out. I love chicken sandwiches so I worked out extra hard just to grab some. I decided to go with "medium" just to start out because I wasn't sure how spicy it was. I got a chicken sandwich that came with pickles and fries. I was pleasantly surprised how juicy and tender the chicken was, none of that dryness you get from major chain chicken restaurants. The service was a tad slow but you can't... read more

I didn't eat inside the restaurant, there really isn't that much space inside to eat. The restaurant was clean and decorated as any regular NYC restaurant is. There was no line, and the cashier who took my order was friendly. Ordered a vanilla shake and some chicken tenders and waffle fry combos. The chickens have different levels of heat. I did mild cuz I'm a , my partner when with hot. It was so good, I'm not usually a fan of spicy, but this was flavorful and spicy. So my mouth kinda burned, but I was definitely licking... read more

Dave's hot chicken isn't really spicy if you can handle it. Their chicken is always juicy. I enjoy the slider a lot which comes with a slaw and soft bun. The chicken tender comes with a slice of bread and pickles. The Dave sauce is a nice dipping sauce and get some honey too. The combo comes with fries but you can substitute it with Mac and cheese. Both of these sides are good, depending what I prefer to eat for the day. The service is quick, there are a lot of people working in the kitchen. The shop is small with really cut... read more
