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.

I've been to several Dave's Hot Chicken and let me tell you, a business will have more customers if businesses had more employees like Aisha (sorry if I misspelled her name ). This wonderful employee not only was super friendly, she checked on the dine-in customers more than a waiter would in a restaurant. If there wasn't someone at the counter, she checked up on others to make sure they were good or picked up if necessary. This lady was amazing. So nice. Needless to say the food was great. When I'm back in town, I'm coming ... read more

It was good, not great. The environment is super fun and upbeat! My daughter loved all the fun colors and random chickens. The employee at the register was really nice and helpful! She helped us navigate the menu and gave recommendations. We ordered some sliders, fries, and Mac n cheese. Nothing was a wow for us. Like I said, good not great. Would we go back? Maybe if we were hungry and near a location.

Dave's is always a hit but I wanted to give a special shoutout to our cashier Aisha. She made me happy that I chose to eat at Dave's today.

Reaper is legit heat! Chicken was super tender and fries extra crispy and double delicious!! Guy at counter was very friendly and attentive. Food came quickly with no skimping on sauce, pickles, etc. bathrooms about as clean as any restaurant I've been to in idk how long. Easy 5 star. I am very pleasantly surprised with this 2am find. Love it!!

Dave's Hot Chicken brought back the cauliflower sandwich. Had it today so good. Thank you! 

Business response:

Hello Samantha, Unfortunately, that is a limited-time offer item so we cannot control which store the cauliflower gets delegated to.

This place is so freakin good. The chicken has flavor, the fries are always fresh and crispy, and the folks that work here are a delight, especially if you are lucky enough to be helped by Ms Aisha, she is a gem of a human and makes an already good experience even better. Come for the chicken, stay for the Aisha!!!!

An amazing experience and amazing food! Jessica at the register was so helpful, attentive, and efficient. Truly made our experience great. She also was able to help my mother in law who does not speak English very well. I much appreciated it and it made me feel like she truly cared about our experience and making it enjoyable. :) 10/10 food 10/10 service 10/10 would/will come again! :)
