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.

This was our first visit to Dave's after driving by several times. So glad we stopped. You enter and it's a fun, bright interior. We were greeted by the friendliest woman at the counter. The menu is fairly simple but has options. They offer different heat levels for seasoning, including 0. The chicken was fresh and tasty.

We love coming here! Though, management seems pretty skimpy on the sauce portions. The tiny sauce cup is not nearly enough for the portion size you get. It’s not even a tablespoon of sauce. It’s a bit annoying for the customer/employees to always be asking/providing additional sauce packets. **For those ordering take out, be aware that you WILL need to ask for extra. I think this location could do a lot better in this regard. I doubt the sauce is expensive to make. Hopefully management sees this and takes it seriously. Beca... read more

Loved, loved, loved our experience at Dave's! We enjoyed a variety of menu items and I've visited a few times since they opened last year. Dawn was a great host and gave us the whole history of Dave's, so if you're ever interested, just ask! It's quite interesting and there's so many details within the stores. If you're up for an extreme challenge, try the Reaper. I only tried a dusting, but my partner tried half a nugget. It's been two weeks and his tongue is still sore 😅 For those looking for a sweeter taste, I definitely... read more

First time visiting DHC despite living a working nearby. I was missing out! DELICIOUS chicken bites. I had the medium and the seasoning + flavor was fantastic. The fries were great as was the Mac and cheese. Definitely recommend!

This location is completely on point from a time you walk in the manager there Mike was super nice friendly and had a great personality. He explained the menu very thoroughly. He made suggestions to meet my needs and when I got the chicken, let me tell you about the chicken that was so crispy so fresh and not too hot because I knew it was gonna be too hot for me medium was perfect All around and I’m coming back as soon as I get my paycheck
