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.

This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken. It was just okay. There are other chicken restaurants that are definitely better.

Dave's Hot Chicken has become my new obsession! I find myself craving this more than any other chicken place now. The worker John is who I usually get in the drive thru and he's super friendly and professional :) it's pretty relaxed at this location as well, so it's a good spot to sit down and eat. If you haven't eaten here yet I highly recommend the sliders in medium flavor so it's not too spicy but you still get a good kick. Also get honey packets to add to the sandwich.

My wife and I decided to give Dave's a try, and we were delighted. There was a lot of food, so we are thinking we might split an order in the future. BUT-great quality, MOIST/not salty chicken. Yummy! And I am a southerner-the Dave's Specials are served up how I remember. The pickle slices were oh so good and generous! AND Super friendly folks. Dave's made comfort food a real treat after a long day of yard work!

Clean restaurant, extremely clean bathroom, friendly service, fast, hot, delicious food. Nothing earth shattering on flavors, but the flavor was spot on with what I expected and I liked the varying spice levels. Do yourself a favor and try it out, if you're like me you'll definitely want to come back again.
