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.

chicken alone, amazing. i do wish they put more slaw on the sandwiches, i asked the cashier if they put a decent amount so i could order extra if needed & she said they did but it was very scarce. the important thing is the chicken though & that was five stars! the bread is soft & they do give an abundance of pickles. the fries were too salty for my taste but they were served hot & i enjoyed the sauce. the portion size is good & their sauce is similar to what i've had at Cane's or Angry Chickz. restaurant was clean. i've... read more

I thought this place would be good, but it far surpassed my expectations. It was FIRE. Cheese fries with the little sauce was top tier. The inside space was cool, service was fast and overall five stars!

Dave's Hot Chicken is a must-try! The chicken is incredibly flavorful and the spice levels are just right. The sides are delicious too, and the service is fast and friendly. If you love hot chicken, this place is a must-visit. I usually get a mild or medium and it has good spice to it. My husband loves spicy and always gets the extra hot. Order with extra slaw and extra pickles! Today when we visited, the employee said that the air conditioner was not working/ off. It was 85 degrees outside. This is a must fix as the chick... read more

Typically do not like fast food, too dry & flavorless. This place is an exception. I don't even like chicken as it is often prepared very "dry" and bland. But this place makes chicken - and supporting ingredients/sauces - like I never tasted before. Absolutely full of flavor, juicy, greasy (in a good way) and delicious. Been here a handful of times & can say the food, service & consistency is A+++.
