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.

At first I was hesitant to try this place because fried food places tend to be extremely greasy an disagree with my stomach, however this place is an exception. I wasn't overwhelmed with grease, but instead I was overwhelmed by flavor. I got the #3 combo and everything was great. The chicken tastes fresh, hot, and floral. The breading was thin and crispy. The fries were delicious with the seasoning and the sauce paired nicely with it. The cashier was friendly and helped me through my first-time order. Not above and beyond,... read more

This was a to go order so I had some fries on the drive home, which were really good and crispy. The medium slider had a nice amount of heat and wasn't too overwhelming. The tenders we ordered it in hot & extra hot. The hot had a nice kick and will probably be my go to next time. The extra hot is just exactly that.... Extra hot!! Now I like spicy, but that one was a creeper after the first bite but the taste was still very good. It's the Dave's sauce that was a winner in my book, it kind of reminds me of Raising Cane's s... read more

The place was very busy, parking is at a premium. The service was quick, and server was friendly, very body around me seem to enjoy their meals. But for me there was spice on ,or in the batter of the chicken I did not care for. To me it was not pleasant, had to take coatings off the chicken tenders. The chicken it self was very good, and cooked perfectly. I couldn't handle the spicy chicken, and I got the mild spice rating. But I was forewarned, the name says it all. The restaurant was bright, and cheerful, but the soun... read more

I've been wanting to try Dave's Hot Chicken since it opened. Finally, I had an opportunity to try the famous hot chicken. What a treat! A couple of recommendations if you haven't tried Dave's. 1. I would recommend menu item #3, and you get to try both the slider and the chicken tender. Btw the chicken tender is like a chicken breast. There is so much chicken for the price, totally worth it. 2. I like spicy but wished I went with the medium level. Hot is hot! I could tolerate the heat, just brought a few tears. 3. If you d... read more

I was really impressed with Dave's Hot Chicken. The chicken are in solid pieces (instead of pounding out the chicken). The fries are fresh, crispy, and seasoned well. The Kale coleslaw is the best! The macaroni and cheese was just ok, but still good for fast food. It is not the heathiest food, so I won't be back for a while. I would recommend this establishment. The fights outside are pretty cool too.
