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.

finally tried Dave's Hot Chicken after hearing so much about it--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I got the #2 combo with two sliders (medium spice) and fries, and everything was fire. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the spice had just the right kick without being overpowering. The sauce and pickles added the perfect touch of flavor.

The food was so good and tasty. The service people were hella nice. The ambience of the room was awesome and super good.
Business response:
Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!
Was charged a tip days later for an order of fries. Wasn't much at all but I am concerned if I go back it will happen again and the extra charge might be more. This place doesn't take cash and I usually order through Yelp. Was taken back when I got notified by cashapp that the price was updated due to a tip. Service was excellent that day it's unfortunate this happened.

Very solid fried chicken sandwiches and fries! I've only had food delivered and it's always hot and fresh! I usually get the combo that comes with 1 mild slider, 1 mild chicken finger, fries (add cheese) and it's the perfect late night or cheat meal! The chicken is seasoned and the sauce married well with the chicken and fries!

Standard hot chicken joint. Basically on par with Hot Boys and tastes similar. Its good but I'd only eat here once in a while because its fried and greasy. Its not cheap either and you're at least gonna spend $15.

Went to this location for the first time yesterday and was able to try the loaded fries. Despite how busy their store was due to the black joy parade, they delivered great service! Food was amazing and the wait time was only 10-15, super impressive with the amount of people that were in there. The store was also kept in great shape! Clean enough to sit and eat with no complaints The loaded fries were super good! I was being greedy though lol I should've just got a regular. The large was HUGE!
Business response:
Love hearing this, Ebony! Even with the Black Joy Parade rush, sounds like everything hit the spot. And yeah, the large loaded fries are no joke! Appreciate you stopping by and sharing the love!
My kids and I love Dave's hot chicken. We are so happy there is a location in Oakland. We are not yet brave enough to try the reaper flavor yet. We enjoy the chicken burgers. My younger son likes the fries.
Business response:
Glad you and your family are enjoying our chicken burgers! When you’re ready for the Reaper, we’ll be cheering you on!
