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.

Damn good chicken & it's affordable. Definitely worth a stop by if you haven't given it a try. Chicken is crispy & crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside & packed with flavor. Pull up!
The food is FANTASTIC!! My favorite is mild tenders and substitute cole slaw for fries. Ordering online is easy & you have the option to add or delete items from your order. The staff is very friendly, too, which makes this an awesome addition to our Tampa area.
Chicken pieces are big! I am use to thinking sliders are small portion for kids. These are full size pieces. It wasn't dry. The Mac and cheese is good. Place is clean. Hot was not hot. The one thing I wish they did was change the oil more often.
One of the best chicken places I've ever been to. Slider is so good and the sauce is a must on the food. Fries are crispy and fluffy. Staff was nice and had the food done relatively quick. Hot flavor was a perfect spice for the chicken. I would definitely recommend going and checking this place out. Number 3 is a must.
This was my first time trying this establishment. It just opened up on Fowler near USF in the university plaza. I was curious to see the hype since everyone's been going consistently. I got there and of course there was a line but it wasn't that long. I was able to order and get my food in under 15 mins. I got the chocolate milkshake, single tender and fries combo. The shake was a little too thick but it went well with the fries. The fries were well seasoned and like the texture. The chicken was good i got the mild rub and i... read more
Dave hot chicken is 4.5 stars. Not 5 stars. There several thing I like. The interior has wall graffiti artwork is looking good. The restaurant has inside and outside seating because the restaurant is corner building. We got number three and four combo. The number three is sandwich plus a piece of chicken tender love it. The number four is just sandwich. All combo come with one side. I have the extra hot. My wife have hot. Next time will get the reaper. The chicken spiciness can range from no spice to reaper. Extra hot is j... read more
Saw good reviews so my wife and I checked this spot out. It was pretty busy for a Sunday evening but service was quick despite the long line for third party orders. They also played amazing music while we waited for our order to come out. My wife ordered one tender and one slider, both Hot. I got two tenders at medium. First off, the chicken was perfect. Crispy and flavorful outside, but super juicy on the inside. Just so much flavor. The one negative was that I felt that my order of Medium had zero heat. My wife's order... read more
Best chicken you will ever eat! Helpful friendly staff. Cool vibe inside. Eat Dave's Hot Chicken!
This is hands down one of the best fried chicken restaurants in Tampa. The spices, crispness, and sauces were genuinely unique + The customer service went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience (huge shoutout to my man Duke for the clutch - saved me from an embarrassing moment and made sure we were served well and on time), the ambiance could be a bit better but the service (by Duke and others) outweighed any discomfort :)
