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.

My son was so excited to check this place out! John the staff member is seriously the most tentative, kindest, best recommendations ( he made my son this honey sauce mix that he's obsessed with ) we love this place and now our weekly after school treat! Thank you John for making our experience here always the best!

I prefer Dave's over the other fried chicken chains because the chicken has more flavor in the coating and the chicken is not dry. We tried medium and hot spice level and liked both. Fries are okay. The service is prompt but you need to ask for the condiments and cutlery if you want any. The only downside for me was this strange smell inside that was like old or rancid oil. We sat and ate outside and totally enjoyed the meal but the smell inside was off for sure. Like the place and food.

I've seen these places all over San Diego and happened be in Temecula charging my EV and saw Dave's Hot Chicken.

First and Foremost the place was spotless and I was greeted very warmly. Now y'all know me, I gotta comment on the bathrooms. I think a clean bathroom means a clean kitchen and I was right! The bathroom was clean and there ... read more

Outstanding food, outstanding customer service--just absolutely OUTSTANDING! This location is very clean and well kept.

Our food came out within minutes of placing our order--it looked amazing and tasted even better! Hot, delicious and full of flavor. Whatever seasoning they use--it's on point! And the sauce is the perfect way to cool it down. We noticed that when Jessica was not taking orders at the cou... read more

Sliders were great - more the size of a typical sandwich. Seasoning on fries and chicken was very tasty. Would recommend over the other chicken places.
