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.

We come to this Dave's all the time. The food is always consistent, and the employees are nice enough to offer my kid stickers. I always get the "hot" for myself, and it's the perfect level of spice their fountain coke is yummy too (coming from a coke addict). The interior is clean but I noticed a few times that there was no soap dispenser in one of the bathrooms, which was a bit gross and nauseating if I may admit lol

Dave's Hot Chicken is super tasty and full of flavor. The chicken is really juicy with a crispy outside, and you can pick how spicy you want it--from not spicy at all to super hot! The sliders are big and really good, with yummy sauce and crunchy pickles. The fries are crispy and go great with the chicken. The place has a cool, fun vibe, and the workers are nice. If you like spicy food, you'll probably love it here!
