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.

Repeat visit for the "not chicken" cauliflower sandwiches. Front counter, Jonathan S. Was excellent in service and crafting the perfect milkshake. The restaurant was clean. The food was hot and fresh. And the manager made an appearance to check on everyone. For fast food, that's not filled with a bunch of crap, this place does a great job!

First time at this specific location, second time eating at Dave's. Dave's is phenomenal. Seriously incomparable. They have the best hot chicken around, hands down. The texture can't be beat. The flavor is marinated down into every pore of chicken flesh. No one else does it quite like Dave's does. This time, I ordered the number 4, which is one tender with one side. There was no extra charge to sub mac for fries. The mac was pretty good too, in my opinion. Kinda average, but good. I love the kale slaw on the burger... read more

My family absolutely loves Dave's Hot Chicken! We are vegetarians and always order the cauliflower sandwiches. We ordered Togo and had an issue with our order. I contacted the store and spoke with Miguel, who was incredibly kind and very helpful. Highly recommend this store it was very clean and everyone was so nice! Please don't get rid of the cauliflower!
