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.

Halal spot : Daves is always our go-to restaurant whenever we're heading back to the South. I love it because it's conveniently located right near the freeway exit, so you can grab a quick bite on the way.

If you're craving some seriously good hot chicken, Dave's Hot Chicken is the place to be! I stopped by recently, and the experience did not disappoint.
