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.

Where does Dave's Hot Chicken rank among the plethora of chicken sandwich spots? I don't know but it's a solid choice for a good chicken sandwich. The menu is simple, four options to choose from.

Surprisingly good! We came around 11 pm on a Saturday night, and it was really busy. Also, probably understaffed. No napkins around, tables a mess, etc. We ordered a #4 HOT as a late night snack. Excellent fries, hot and crispy. A well composed slider that was really satisfying. It all worked with the sauce and slaw. I'll try that EXTRA HOT next time.

Food and customer service was great!!! The only thing I had a problem with was the way the chicken made my stomach feel and the way it came out. Honestly some of the best chicken chicken I have tried if they find a way to fix the stomach problems I would gladly eat here every day.

We ordered this for lunch at my workplace and everyone thought it was really tasty. What I liked the most was that the spice level was very accurate and caters to all levels of spice so that was really cool. I would definitely recommend trying if you haven't already.

Food was OK but definitely didn't live up to the hype. Chicken was juicy but lower on flavor than I would have liked and the fries were pretty soggy.

GET RID OF YOUR PLASTIC BAGS!!! Service could definitely be improved but I guess it's worth it cause the it was all delicious. Vibes are weird but no biggie if you are just trying to get a solid fried chicken sandwich!
