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.

Dave's Hot Chicken lives up to its name – they're not kidding about the heat! I'm a fan of spicy food, and their "Hot" had enough kick to make my nose run, but it was still delicious. The chicken tenders are juicy, the batter is crispy, and the sauce is flavorful. I also appreciate the simplicity of the menu – you're here to focus on the heat. The crinkle-cut fries are the perfect side, and the kale slaw provides a nice counterpoint to the chicken. My only complaint is that it can get a bit pricey, especially if you want t... read more

Love this place! Super clean and the staff is so professional and friendly. My husband and I split the two chicken sandwich meal with fries. He opted for the hot sandwich and I played it safe with the medium. He said it was delish and could feel the heat. Mine was perfectly in the middle. We ordered extra slaw on the sandwiches and added some honey. It was a delish mix a sweet and spicy! Highly recommend!

Wow, first time here but it won't be the last! We received a gift certificate which prompted us to go here, but we were certainly pleasantly surprised! The chicken was superb and I loved the various spice levels that could accommodate my preference for spice compared to my hubby. And the biggest surprise of all was how much we loved the "Not Chicken Bites". I would go there just to order those! No fake chicken, just perfectly done cauliflower but with all the same delicious Dave's flavors so I didn't miss the meat at al... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken has earned my top spot as the best fried chicken restaurant I've ever been to. We recently visited their Madison, Wisconsin location during a quick getaway with my two sons and their friends. Despite being a group of seven with complex orders, the staff handled everything flawlessly. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Dawn, the location manager, and Elizabeth, the shift manager, were exceptional in ensuring our satisfaction. They took... read more

We loved the service we got, Elizabeth was so nice to us. The crisp was nice on the chicken, we liked that you could go up in spice levels, French fries were very good. The atmosphere is very cool! Food came out quickly especially for lunch time rush.
