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.

Edit: taking off 1 star as the degree of hotness has been varying lately. Past 3 times the hot wasn't hot enough as it was for several times before then. Felt more like medium.

The service is fantastic, your food will be out before you expect it. Dave's promises on the heat and it delivers. Tenders and sliders are the ones to go for, fries are so-so.

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.

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

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.

The food is fantastic here! The environment is clean and upbeat. Very friendly staff. Fast service. I had the mild chicken slider. It was really, really good.

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!
