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.

DAVES HOT CHICKEN IS DEFINITELY MORE SUPERIOR THAN CANES. No more regular seasoned chicken tenders like canes. Only thing cane has is the sauce which I believe shouldn't be the only thing to a chicken tender. The flavor and spice is AMAZING. 10/10 recommended! But imagine. Dave's hot chicken and cane sauce together. Undefeated combo

Finally got around to trying Dave's Hot Chicken and it's definitely what MN has been missing for a while. Right away- I think the 2 sliders option is superior to all others. The reason is because the buns for the sliders are so soft and sweet that it completes each bit with the spicy tender in between. My go to spice level is spicy and that does the job. When you don't order the sliders, the tenders will come with a plain piece of white bread, which I I find so odd. Not toasted, not buttered, nothing. Just a plain old p... read more

Thankfully, we went after the big rush for the grand opening! Parking is tight, it's a small strip mall, we didn't have a long line, so that was nice. The place is full of murals, which we love art so that was neat to look at. The staff was iffy, even though we were up front we had to wait awhile and she looked annoyed to take our order. The food, was great, spicy and the seasoning was perfect. The chicken was cooked perfect, the sauce is good and the fries also had great seasoning. We will be back!

Amazing! This place lives up to the hype! Chicken is crispy and moist, seasoning is perfect! Tried 2 levels of heat and both were good!

Reaper destroyed my booty but the hot is perfect. Add cheese and it's better. Again yelp is telling me to write 85 characters. So I'm just gonna yap about how my short review is legit because I'm not trying to write a whole essay just for some damn chicken.

Finally got to Dave's Hot Chicken when the lines weren't outrageously long! Food was good but could have been better. Slider is your basic chicken sandwich. Felt that the tenders needed more flavor. Not sure what all is in the seasoning for the fries but they were underwhelming. Enjoyed the pickles and sauce. Canes is definitely better, however I think I would go again, hopefully the hype dies down so that they can focus on the quality of the food.

The ambiance: 3.5/5- I love the murals and fun vibes, but it is a fast food/fast casual restaurant so the tables and bathrooms reflect that- aka tables look neglected sometimes and could use a wipe. Also, not a lot of indoor seating but they have a nice patio. Food: 4/5 love the sliders with Dave's sauce. I typically get hot which is a good heat for me but I also like spice. (So no it's not MN spicy but wont hurt you if you can handle spice) The tenders by themselves are good but I like the sliders more. Fries are also cris... read more

Easy parking, very fast food format, interesting to order level of "heat" on the chicken, ordered to go, seemed to be a lot of people standing around? The cash register employs the despised "what level tip do you want to leave?" prompt which is annoying when there is no "service" per se. Food is hot with the requested level of spice. It's not as clean and shiny as a couple of the other chicken places, but the food is better.
