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.

We decided to try them since they're pretty close and we wanted something new for lunch. I must agree with some of the other reviews - the portions are tiny and the chicken is actually not very hot. Maybe the ones we got just didn't have the usual amount of cayenne in the oil or something. It didn't taste bad, per se, but there was just so little of it - especially for the price. If you want spicy chicken there are definitely other places around that will give you much more bang for your buck. The lady who gave us our order,... read more
Daves hot chicken is amazing. 10/10. It's chicken. It's cheese. It's wonderful!!!!!!!
Soooo I finally stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken to see what the hype was all about and discovered that yes the chicken is "hot". I got the extra hot because I wanted the spice and didn't want to sign the waiver they supposedly had for the "reaper" LOL.. the first thing I noticed was the service was really good the workers were super polite one worker liked my hair so much she asked me to do her hair hahaha!! I ordered the 2 tender basket with fries the pickles and bread. Now I would say the seasoning tastes like Lawry's season... read more
Place is new to town. Big hype. Lots of art. Loud music. (Not a bad thing) Food took a bit but IT'S CHICKEN, EXPECT IT! Great customer service. Food was good. Prices are decent. Everyone enjoyed it. We'll go back.
Ordered online on a Sunday afternoon and it was ready within fifteen minutes. The restaurant was packed but not uncomfortable. *Note there is no drive through.* The mild and medium strips and sandwich were not as hot or flavorful as I was anticipating. Will have to up the heat level next time I guess. It was also not super clear from the menu if there was a difference between the strip and the sandwich chicken? Still not sure after ordering two of each. Was there different breading? Not sure. Sauce was good. Also got the che... read more
We went early afternoon and the food was fast and fresh. My only complaint was the lack of cheese on the cheese fries. Staff was friendly and it was very clean. Definitely will return.
Kinda hard to mess up a spicy chicken sandwich, right? The service was pleasant and quick, which was great because I was dreading long lines. Sandwich was tasty, fries were crispy, the mysterious orange sauce was mysteriously sweet but pretty good for dipping. The buns on the sliders were kind of falling apart, but they were soft and the chicken was well fried. Again, it was about what you'd expect. Nothing mind blowing, but I'm a happy guy.
My love for Dave's Hot Chicken hasn't disappeared since opening day. My family frequently visits this establishment for their sliders. I love the customizable spice levels, and I typically get a Mild but I've noticed that their Mild appears to vary a bit. Not sure if there is a way to consistency measure the spice levels, because I'd like to try the Medium again but it was quite spicy last time and the Mild seems less spicy from time to time. What I would really love is a Spice Sampler box of some sort where we can order ten... read more
Seriously one of the best hot chicken joints I've ever been to. Their sliders are incredible, and I'd recommend adding honey as it balances out the heat perfectly. Fries are great as well.
