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 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

Fire chicken way better than canes mainly cuz you get honey and who doesn't like customizing heat rather than plain chicken tenders lol

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+++. 

Business response:

Wow! Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We're delighted to know you enjoyed your experience with us. Do come back soon

I understand the hype. I support the hype. WOW. It's seems like such a simple meal but it was sooooo good. Their menu offers a variety of chicken tenders, breaded in different heat levels. We tried the #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries $11.99 & the #4 1 Slider w/ Fries add Cheese $10.48. The slider was delicious, served on a burger bun with slaw, Dave's sauce, and pickles. I tried the "hot," spice level and it was definitely hot, but still enjoyable. The sandwich wasn't as greasy as I had assumed it would be, the texture was perfect, t... read more

My first time in Dave's chicken. Chicken is delicious. I never experienced white sandwich bread that they cannot toast it or grill it.
