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.

Wooo hoo grand opening day (6/30/23) at Dave's Hot Chicken! They had a little table outside with little chicken themed goodies! Everyone was super friendly and helpful! We got the two entrees: 2 sliders (no spice, mild) 1 slider & 1 tender (hot, extra hot) The chicken is basically the same whether you order sliders or tenders, you just adjust the spice level and if you want kale slaw. All of the food was enjoyable and the restaurant was clean and spacious! Looking forward to coming back! Parking is ample, it shares a ... read more

Absolutely terrible!!!!!! Yasmin the manager doesn't care about your health Me and my girlfriend ordered food and they gave us the wrong order. I wanted medium, but they gave me extra hot. I was sick. My stomach was hurting. They didn't do anything to make it right I would boycott Dave's hot chicken Because it's the type of place where if you got sick and went to the hospital, they wouldn't do anything for you It's brutal to see a business like this go downhill I would never eat here again!!!!!!

Just moved to the neighborhood and my boyfriend and I decided to have Dave's for dinner tonight since the one near my old apartment (in Miracle Mile) was superb. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about this location. I placed an order online (as I always do) and my boyfriend went to pick it up. The women at the front told him it would be ready about five minutes after he arrived. 20 minutes goes by and after seeing about a dozen people come in and pick up their order, my boyfriend asks the one of the six women behind the ... read more

Second time this location got my DoorDash order wrong. I drive to the location today to try and either get it refunded or my missing food given to me. The ladies helping me didn't even say hello instead they looked like dears in headlights and didn't say I word. I asked for a manager and they told me there wasn't one. Told them my order was wrong and said I would like my items and a refund. It then took three girls to talk among themselves to have two of them come out and ask me again what the problem was as if they weren't ... read more

Would give them 0 starts if I could all the workers were just standing around talking. Everyone that ordered after me got their orders before me. Don't come here if u want to wait for a long time and be ignored when asking about your order

This was my first time eating here and it was totally not good. We waited 10 to 15 minutes for our order. When we got the food, I'm ready for hot fried food, right? The fries were cold and the chicken was cold. Very disappointed. I ordered a very hot chicken, and the reaper. She made me sign two forms, and I didn't even know what I was signing. She didn't explain what she was having me sign. So I read it and apparently you have to sign a waiver because the food is extremely hot? Which actually was not for me and my taste bu... read more

Horrible service, messed up my food order, and experience. I had picked up my food I had ordered 2 meduims and accidentally gave me hot, orderded fries with no salt and ended up with salt, I got the wrong milkshake half way home and didn't even bother driving back. I had no chocie but to eat my food. Accidentaly threw away my receipt away, cause I was fed up with it. If I had to leave a 0 star I would. When I called they didn't even bother apologizing or giving a hoot about it. Thank you Daves Hot Chicken for your service yo... read more

Lowkey nasty. The chicken is mostly breading and isn't crispy enough. Spice is pretty good the sauce taste like mustard and mayo
