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.

It took over a half hour to get my 10 piece chicken order, and then on top of it...it was wrong. They finally came cold and partially cooked. Terrible service terrible food.

Less than an hour after eating, got progressively worse food poisoning symptoms. Food was really enjoyable but it was absolutely a bout of food poisoning from the chicken.

First time ever trying daves hot chicken and to be honest I don't get what the hype is about. I walked in the restaurant and it literally smelled like musty armpits. Then I ordered 2 sliders medium and the taste was rancid it taste just like how it smelled when I walked in. I don't know if they didn't mix the seasonings well but it wasn't good. The only positive was the fries and daves sauce. I would like to try again but it's way to expensive when I can grab something for better value.

This place is filthy and disgusting. For the hype, it smelled and felt like I walked into the coliseum BART station in Oakland. The food is mediocre and they try to upsell everything, not worth it. I would NOT recommend. Disgusting place.

Chicken sandwich is overcooked all crust and little chicken and Exprensive Salty loaded hard chicken and fries. Raising Cane's has better tasting chicken, better fries, and affordable.

Very bad customer serivce, cashier and supervisor are very unprofessional ... came to buy food, credit card machine wasn't working, my little son was really hungry. So they refused service and asked for cash only, they should have a sign up for customers only cash is accepted if it's that not the case then, we should be given food with credit card if machine work or not.... never ever going there again. I offered to give him money by Zelle or venmo so he can use his cash to give me food but he refused.

I used to love Dave's Hot Chicken, but the last few times I've ordered from them the spiciness level was totally inconsistent: I ordered mild and received hot pain. The shakes and mac+cheese are good, but it's Dave's Hot CHICKEN, not Dave's Hot Side Orders. I'm not eating here again until they fix their kitchen.

This review isnt about food quality or service everything is good and I enjoy coming here but this review is for whoever is doing their pest control. Came last Saturday and again today and both times they've had roaches in their lobby. Like mid waiting in line to order their just causally crawling around and again by the soda machine. So please who ever is running this location be mindful of cleanliness and figure out a better pest control because I enjoy coming here but if we don't care what's happening within customer view... read more
