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.

With a name like Dave's Hot Chicken, I don't think it's a mystery what type of food is served here. But what wasn't obvious to a serious hothead, such as myself, was: how truly hot is the chicken here? It is all relative, after all. While some may actually consider McCormick Paprika to be spicy, there are those for whom the One Chip Challenge is just another Dorito. With my daily spicy intake right around the Ghost Pepper level, I am definitely more the latter. So, naturally, I ordered as hot as it comes. In the case of Dav... read more

We enjoyed our oder at Dave's using DoorDash. I thought the slider would be smaller but they are normal size chicken sandwiches. I thought it seemed pricy until I received our order. 2 slider is a lot for one person but I did eat both. Little stuffed after and probably will just do one next time. Probably better not to call them sliders lol little confusing. Got medium and will probably go hotter next time. Probably should receive two of Dave's sauce when you have two sliders cause I used one for one sandwich.

I went here for the first time. Medium was perfect and 2 tenders was a lot of food. The person helping me at the front was friendly and helpful and said 2 strips would be enough, which it was. Fries are good and the spice was tasty and not too thick. Definitely will be back.
Business response:
Yup! Our tenders are pretty large and of very good quality. We are glad that you enjoyed your meal and found the right spice for you. We hope that you come back again soon!
