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.

If you're craving bold flavors and a satisfying kick, Dave's Hot Chicken delivers big time. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with spice levels that range from mild to seriously intense--so there's something for everyone. The seasoning is spot on, packed with flavor without being overwhelming. The sliders are a must-try, loaded with crunchy pickles, creamy sauce, and tender chicken that hits just right. The fries are seasoned well and always hot, making them the perfect side. The overal... read more

A lot of people have been hyping this place up, so i finally had the chance to try it out at lunch with some coworkers on a Sunday. This place did get busy, but there is both indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was friendly and quick with ordering. They give you a buzzer that lets you know when your food is ready for pickup at the counter. Food: I ordered the mini sliders with fries and the strawberry lemonade slushie. After all the hype i heard, I personally felt it was just too much dry seasoning on this chicken. Beware:... read more

Sliders- got the Hot and it hits you instantly. Sliders taste much better than tenders, combination with pickles coleslow and sauce tastes much better. Sliders did look lot smaller and buns lower quality than it does in other photos. Maybe I shouldve gotten cheese with it. Sliders were good, buns couldve been higher quality. Tenders: extra hot starts off slow and starts to really ramp up. I could feel moments where my temple lobe of my brain, both sides, just felt cold, spicier and less tasty than buldak ramen. I dont even ... read more

Got my order for takeout. I had the #3 which had fries, sandwhich, and tender both at medium spice. Love that the protein was larger than the carbs. Good flavor and slight crunch to it. The fries were okay, will definitely ask for more well done but overall enjoyable paired with their sauce.
