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!

First time trying Dave's hot chicken so wanted to see what all the hype was about! Both me and my wife got the medium one slider one tender with french fry meal and a soda. Don't care for how with a meal a soda is not included I've never seen that but oh well. When the food came out mine must have been straight out of the fryer because my first bite of my chicken slider was so hot I burned the entire inside of my mouth. My bad! So my review will be a little skewed because I had no feeling in my mouth after that. The flavor ... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken 🔥🐔 My wife and I decided to try Dave's Hot Chicken after a friend of ours recommended it to us. We went on a Friday night and expected it to be busy, especially since this location has only been open for a little while. Overall we were pleasantly surprised that the wait time to receive our food wasn't too bad, there were quite a few people inside so it looked like the wait would be long but the staff was getting peoples orders out very quickly. Since the menu is pretty small, that meant we could try a... 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
