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.

Cute ambiance, friendly employees, and the slider I had was very tasty. But the price is high. $7 for a chicken tender is high, even by today's standards. Worst part for me was the wait. I went at 6pm on a Monday and there was no one in line. There was one other person in the dining room waiting for their order. It took 22 minutes exactly to get my food after I ordered. 22 minutes is a long time to wait for 'fast food' or even at a sit down restaurant. Again, food was good, but not sure price and wait time justify the taste.

Sorry to hear about your experience. We want to earn those extra stars. Help us improve at www.tellusdirect.com/DHC. Thank you.
I order two of the chicken sliders on medium heat, with fries & extra pickles. This combo did not disappoint. The medium heat was surprisingly not hot at all. This establishment wait time during what it seems like a peak hour was less than 15m for my takeout order. The sanitation score was 100 & the cleanliness of the area was well kept. Friendly customers service & the only thing I hope they update since they're located near University is discount offers to University staff and students. I will be back !
The food was better than expected. I had the cauli slider with fries and it was more than enough. I ordered medium heat and it was perfect. Fast food vibes for sure.

Amber is a delight! First time here :) she was knowledgeable, kind & super sweet! Keep her around. I got the loaded fries, sooo good. We did the check in for a soft drink, love that. The graffiti art is phenomenal and the music is vibes. Definitely a place worth checking out.
I stopped in for a quick bite to eat and was impressed. To be honest I thought it was going to be overrated but it was not bad. The Chicken crispy and very well seasoned. Making the sandwich fabulous especially with the dipping sauce and crisp pickles.

Appreciate you giving us a shot! Glad we proved to be more than just hype—crispy, well-seasoned chicken with all the right fixings is what we’re all about. Hope to see you back soon!
Me and my husband LOVE Dave's!! My husband only eats halal, so how convenient is it that we can get fried chicken sandwiches right in the neighborhood!?! We always get the # 2 (2 sliders and fries) and share it because the sandwiches are so huge. I get the plain sandwich (no sauce, no sauce *beyonce voice*) with cheese and my husband gets the hot chicken sandwich. The spice sandwiches have a gritty texture to them that I don't love, but my husband disagrees and loves them. Just happy they have options for the both of us. It'... read more

Very busy for a Friday night but the wait wasn't too long and the food was great. Very well seasoned. Customer service was great.

Thanks, Khan! We’re glad you enjoyed the food and had a great experience, even on a busy Friday night. Hope to see you back again soon!
Dave's Hot Chicken brought the fire with their crunchy chicken sandwich and crispy cut fries. I enjoyed this sandwich (arguably just as much as popular chains like Chick Fil A) but what took the cake was their Dave's sauce for me! The original sandwich comes with onions, pickles and chicken with the option to choose your spice level for the sandwich. The service at Dave's was great with kind staff and a simple number system to grab your food when it's ready. The seating is very casual with a decent amount of space inside, ho... read more

Thanks for the detailed review, Hannah! We're thrilled you loved the crunchy chicken sandwich and crispy fries—especially the Dave’s sauce! It's great to hear our team and system made your visit smooth. Hope to see you again soon, maybe at a quieter time for even more enjoyment!
This chicken is seasoned heavily. The hot flavor is indeed hot. The medium was more bearable. The fries were great. I love that the food is made fresh and comes out hot. The customer service was great, very friendly and helpful. They do have a small section to eat in.
