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.

Wow! They're consistently good and their chicken sliders with cheese are to die for! I also love their soda selection of bottled and dispense soda. Soooo good and spicy unless you get mild or no spice which I am too scared to try, and ironically I love their spiciest Atomic level but it's TOO SPICY for me. The BEST flavor balance with spice is the Hot level. Once you get to Extra Hot it's good but it's like they use less flavor in exchange for more spice, while the Hot is perfectly flavorful and spicy. Besides the very long ... read more

Love love love this chicken, but beware, even medium is pretty hot! The Mac n cheese and kale slaw is pretty good, too!

The food is very good. There is a wait at times but the food is always hot and fresh. I enjoy coming to Dave's any chance i get and this place is pretty chill from the many times I have visited so far.

It is pricey, but you get what you paid for. This review is to highlight Jessica, she is positive happy and very helpful. You guys are very lucky to have her she is a great example of what customer service should look like I wish her the best

For fast food it's really good, the flavor is good but I do think it's pricey for what you get. This one is in the traffic circle so it's next to chick fil an and raising canes, which are more affordable just less spicy.

I am actually so suprised by the bad reviews. I live in Long Beach and frequent this Dave's Hot Chicken location often. Everytime I come it is always a pleasant experience. On weekends of course it is busier, so I expect to wait a little. However I never have to wait too long. The establishment is very nice and clean. They also offer military discount which my husband and I love. I will definitely keep coming back. And thank you to my cashier Aisha today, she was very sweet and helpful when I ordered!

Decided to finally try the new hot chicken spot. We heard the sandwiches were small (they are) so I opted for the slider plus 1 tender combo. I got it in mild - it's definitely mild you are safe with that if you don't like spice at all. Go hot or higher if you like spice. We thought we wouldn't get full but it was actually a decent amount of food. The service was great even though it was really busy. We sat in the outside area where it was nice and fresh. We'll probably be back because of the convenient location.
