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.

Give my boy Isaac G. a raise always come here and gives the greatest customer service. Really appreciate it!
I usually can't be bothered to review a fast food chain; I keep my expectations low and it seems they always meet expectations, if you get my drift. Dave's proved a pleasant surprise. The flavor is good, the spice is variable (so you can take your wimpy friends), the chicken is nice quality and the tenders are big. It reheats great in the air fryer, too. After a litany of disappointments with even high-end restaurant hot chicken, and then finding so much better at a fraction of the price I was super stoked. That dipping sauc... read more

First time here. Easy to get to, easy parking and not a lot of people. The menu is pretty self explanatory. Pick your combo and spice level. The lady who helped us at the register was super nice and took care of our order. Food was hot and ready in a few minutes. This location had a cool interior set up. Lots of tables with ample space and the music was good too! Outside had a patio area which was nice. We all picked the mild spice level. Nothing crazy. Good amounts of chicken. The buns are yummy, the coleslaw was basic bu... read more

My wife won't like this review update, but I need to stand by my rating of Dave's Hot Chicken. Though how I feel about this place now, in comparison to similar hot chicken spots around the county, may feel like a bit of a slight. Simply stated, Dave's Hot Chicken is the second best chicken sandwich place I've reviewed here on Yelp. It is far superior to the bulk of spots I've dined at over the last few years, but itself falls far behind my number one favorite (Red Chickz in Carlsbad - Crack Shack is in its own category ).... read more

it's pretty good . food is good . it's clean and good seating area. workers are cool . the only thing is that they have messed up my order a couple of times . I ask for NO pickles, and they give me pickles only and no Coleslaw on my sliders (I love coleslaw) and sometimes they just literally forget to put my fries in. Pretty annoying . Other than that , Pretty good.
