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 having Dave’s hot chicken. I had heard from friends and family, that I trust that the food was good. But I had healthy speculation that it was mainly hype. I’m happy to report that food is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I will definitely crave it from now on, and it will be in the rotation of my go to spots. The employee that helped us was named James and was incredibly friendly And had a wonderful positive energy. The establishment was clean. I will definitely be returning !!!
Consistency is key and I can say that all 4 times we've come to Dave's, the tenders always come out juicy and fresh. Customer service here is friendly and the seating is also spacious, both indoor and outdoor. As far as the spice levels, I do feel as though the spicier you choose to go, the more saltier it gets. When I need to satisfy a spicy fried chicken sandwich craving, Dave's is the first to come to mind.
Nowadays I go to Dave’s 2-3 time a week. For this location 1st time. I got 2 and 4 they gave me only 2 sauce when I asked for some more they gave me only one more as saying one per combo or we need to charge extra if you need more. I have been eating Dave’s when they have only one store in western. I am not going to this location anymore and considering going to Dave’s further.
This cauliflower slider was delicious. I got medium on the spice level, the Cauli was nice and crunchy and full of flavor. My first time trying Recommend you get one too !!
Really chill hot chicken place. One of my favorites in the area. My first time going in person (only ever doordashed) and it’s a nice rock vibe. Feels very LA. Staff was kind and service was super quick. James is the best and deserves tips.
