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 love that there is a new player in the fried chicken and chicken sandwich space. Dave's offer something different in the mix. Their chicken meats are seasoned uniquely and have different levels of hotness available to order. We aren't tolerant of very spicy food, so we ended up getting mild chicken. We ordered Dave's #1 and #2 to sample both the tenders and the sliders. It was a little pricy considering that at $15.99 and $18.99, we still do not have a drink included. The food was good, though. I like that there is a dip ... read more

The fries were actually amazing like I would go back again for the fries and sauce. However the sliders weren't as amazing as we thought it would be. The price for Toronto honestly wasn't bad. We got fries and 2 sliders for 22 bucks. The service was slow but it was also packed inside the place so maybe that's why. There was a decent amount of seating available but since it was packed there was nowhere to sit Overall if I went back it would be just for the fries or maybe I would get the sliders at the spiciest for more flavou... read more

Wow, the chicken was moist and, not for the faint of heart, but the reaper chicken was awesome.

I was waiting for Dave's hot chicken to come closer because our friend who ate at their queen street location was raving about it. And it did live up to his raving. One of the best Nashville fried chicken places. My partner got the reaper hot and I got extra hot. The reaper was hot but extra hot was just right, not too crazy spicy. Our cashier was very kind and offered honey packets as she was worried we wouldn't be able to handle the heat. Nothing much to write about the ambiance, so we preferred to take our food to the nic... read more

we got the 2 tender combo on a take out. I tried a mild and medium, I thought they both taste good. I think lite mild would be good for me next time. They did have bread at the bottom of the fried chicken. It kept all the moist away and kept the chicken dry and crispy. Thats what I love. Dry rub. The fries were also great. Everything is crispy as expected. Everything is as spicy as it should be.

Dave Hot's Chicken is an absolute delicious fast food chain. Food ( 8/10 ) - The chicken tenders are super big and filling despite not looking it. It's smothered in this super flavorful spice rub. The tenders are juicy and crispy as well. It also has a really nice heat to it, Make sure you find your proper spice level because it can make the difference between a pleasant and painful experience. The fries were also super crispy. Sauce had a nice, tangy flavor which made it a great pairing with both the fries and chicken. Se... read more
