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.

Kids were hungry as they explored Little Tokyo. We chose to eat at Dave's Hot Chicken because the little one was requesting fried chicken. We had a really short wait and got our meals rather quickly. We got 2 tenders with fries (Served with sliced bread, pickles and Dave's sauce), 1 tender + 1 slider with fries ( Tender served with sliced bread, pickles and Dave's sauce, slider served with kale slaw, pickles and Dave's sauce) . Kids enjoy the food very much!

I've ordered them via Uber eats and picked up a few times. Every time, they've surprised me with how hot and fresh they manage to keep the food. Also - it's just pretty freakin good stuff. I'd highly recommend them. They're also really friendly and helpful, even with how busy they always are.
Tried this Dave's location for the second time and was very impressed. The service was amazing, shout-out to the cashier!! Ordered takeout but my food was still fire (no pun intended) by the time I got home. Can't wait to be back!!

The chicken sandwich was good! Good flavor and crisp. I liked the sauce too. Parking was easy to get and out of.

A quick fast-food hot chicken joint. I know hot chicken is the du jour for LA eateries but I personally never had a bad experience with Dave's Hot Chicken. They do specialize in hot chicken (I mean it says it in the name!), but you have options on how spicy you want your chicken. I chose mild, though I probably should've gone up to medium. My chicken slider was pretty amazing and the fries were crisp. Service was quick and the restaurant was very clean for how busy it was on a Saturday afternoon. The restrooms were also ... read more

We strive for every guest to have this experience! Sounds like you just have good taste! Thanks for the love Crystal, we hope you come back soon!
The inside of this location has nice wallpaper designs and is clean. I usually come here from the office and we typically have a large group. Their tables and chairs are moveable making it good for both small and large parties. The workers are always super energetic and eager to help with any questions or needs. I am a huge fan of spicy chicken sandwiches and this place doesn't miss. I love that if you order one of the combos like slider and tender they allow you to choose different spice levels on each one ! I got the spi... read more
I ordered pickup and I gotta say the electronic board our front was amazing! It said your name and if the order was ready or not. It made pick up so much easier. As far as the food, their chicken is really good and well spiced! My only qualm is the sandwich didn't stay together well... the bun wasn't great. Would eat again!

This is my goto, chicken (HOT) tender fast food restaurant, the service is always great and so are the workers, I love the inside of the restaurant it's a great vibe to just sit down and eat, I'm not a slider guy, I usually only get the tenders , fries and Mac and cheese, the Mac and cheese is definitely NOT hittin' but when paired with the tenders and fries , it's a beautiful treat!

We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!
The location is cute, I really liked their interior design. The only downside is the parking. I did appreciate that the wait was not very long. I ordered the sliders (medium) with fries. I wish I went a little hotter. The cashier said medium was pretty hot so I went with his word. If you love spicy, definitely go hotter. That was a little disappointing. Overall, the flavor was there. I would definitely come back for a hotter chicken. Also, The price was reasonable for what you get.
