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.

Dave's Hot Chicken delivers a bold and flavorful experience that's perfect for spicy food lovers. The chicken is incredibly juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior that holds up well even after a short drive home. Their heat levels range from mild to reaper, allowing everyone to find their perfect spice match.
