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.

Great location with plenty of parking. This is my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and it was fantastic. The tenders are tasty, crispy, and larger than expected.

I got a to-go order and came to pick it up. They have an area dedicated for pickup orders. There were only two people there, including me. There was one staff member packing a to-go order right by the... read more
Hit up Dave's Hot Chicken! Gerson helped us out and was most accommodating and professional. This was my first time there and he explained the different spice levels which was very helpful. Food was great and service was excellent! Ask for Gerson!
Food is amazing. Service is top notch, especially Gerson. Very friendly, good atmosphere. Kids loved it here!
It was my first time trying Dave's. I was greeted by Joy. She welcomed us, took our order and was very nice. The chicken was delicious of course and between the excellent customer service and the tasty meal, I will definitely be back. Cheers.
I like Dave's. It's awesome food. But I am writing this review for one reason only, Janellie. She made the whole experience positive. She had a friendly cool vibe, a beautiful smile. She was energetic and witty. I think she would be very successful in a high end restaurant as a server. My visit was March 8, 2025 at 9:33pm
Amazing service and Greatttt food my sever was mayeli and glen i think that's how u spell it they were super nice. Great service.
This store is all organized and food tastes amazing, the cashiers here are very welcoming and also are very understanding on what you want they are very spot on with their foods. This store is a very nice environment, tables always clean and organized never seen better
Quick, consistent, and DELICIOUS. Seriously, never had a bad experience with them... They always give you extra pickles and are super organized.
I am already in favor of Dave's but I particularly love this location because the staff is amazing! Another fav is of mine Joyce. Food is always great. Made the mistake of getting reaper again and boy, was it painful. Do not recommend!
