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.

I've gone here a few times and been really impressed. The spice mix is great. The chicken is the main even, but I would like to see some better sides.

Dave's Hot Chicken is a fast food restaurant that serves halal fried chicken sandwiches. The chicken is very flavorful and crispy. They have various levels of heat, with a really nice sauce on the side. They also have a plant based variety call "Dave's NOT Chicken" which is basically a fried cauliflower steak, which I really appreciate. Overall the food is delicious. The only thing I didn't care for was the cheesy fries. The cheese wasn't flavorful, and the fries seemed like they were just store bought frozen fries.

Hot, yummy, crispy and so good! I think the food was 10/10. The credit card machine was acting up, it denied my car 2 times but approved another card and same thing happened to my partner. I definitely would eat this again.

I came here with some friends on a Friday evening. There's an area to order and a lot of seating in the back. The staff at the ordering counter was really friendly and helpful! I ordered the #3 and got it mild. I loved the slider - it wasn't spicy, so I think next time I could go up to a medium. My friend ordered the hot and said it was also manageable for her. The chicken was extremely tender. The tender came with bread and pickles. It seemed that most people do takeout, but the seating area was also really nice. I would d... read more

My son has been telling me about this spot for a long time. So I surprised him with lunch for his birthday. The service here was great and the staff were friendly. I didn't expect for the inside to be so big. Beware that parking is hard to find. The price was great for the amount of food you get. I got my son the slider mild with fries. I tried the fries and they were good. My son said the chicken sandwich was a little too salt for him. He did say he would go back. I would try a sandwich next time too.

I am a frequent patron of chicken spots; however, one thing that sets the DC location of Dave's Hot Chicken apart is the incredible class the staff have in serving their guests. In particular, we had the pleasure of being served by Janiyah, who had such a great smile as she assisted my family and me after a long protest in the city. I never thought I'd have to up my manners in a chicken spot like Dave's, but the staff here are showing me different! Keep it up!
