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.

Service was great, the cashier was friendly and personable. Time it took to receive my order was average ~10 minutes or so. The shakes are great with a good balance of thickness and sweetness. I had the cauliflower nuggets. However, it was just alright. Mushy and caked with seasoning/spice. The rest of the party had the chicken sandwiches. Juicy patty and balanced amount of seasoning/spice.
Food is good. Chicken is spicyyyy because I overestimated myself. Came here a few times with friends during lunch. Decent place but it's still fast-food after all. Would come again. Overall 8.5/10.
I love this place. The chicken is so tender and juicy, the serving size is generous, and the spiciness is addicting. It's no good that I live so close to this place. It's clean and colorful inside and the service is very professional. I come here too much.
Service was prompt and the place looked clean. Ordered the tenders not spicy, glad they have all the levels of heat. Came with some well-cooked and piping hot fries, pickles, Dave's sauce and some slices of white bread. I had no expectations, but I was pleased that the chicken was hot and crispy white meat, fries were seasoned well and straight out of the fryer and pickles were a good addition to cut the grease. What more could one ask for, they do their menu well, apparently.
Love their chicken sandwich meal #4. It's very affordable! My kids love it! Large space and clean restrooms!
Most definitely lives up to the hot chicken name. I didn't have too high of expectations, but it did satisfy my spicy food craving. While the spice was delicious, it's not the most crispy or freshly served of tenders I've ever had. Portion size is generous and it was pretty quickly prepared through ordering from the app. Restaurant was clean and the staff was pretty fast to find my ready order.
Every time I come to Dave's Hot Chicken I am never disappointed. Good food and great service.
We ordered the Dave's #2 and #3, two sliders and fries, one slider / chicken tender and fries. The fries were perfectly seasoned and tender while being the right amount of crisp. It's warmth paired perfectly with the thousand island. Honestly, the #2 with two sliders are more than enough to feed two people. We got a slider in medium and mild, for me, medium was the perfect punch of flavor while not being too overwhelming. My only gripe with the sliders is that the temperature distribution is weird, with the bottom half, i... read more
