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.

Ordered sliders online to have them ready by a certain time, and they did! The food was delicious and hot! Picking up was smooth.

We waited about 20 mins. The food wasn't worth the wait. We ordered mild spicy but it was too salty. It's not comparable to Howlin' Rays. The price, however, was reasonable.

Business response:

Sorry to hear about the salty food, Sabrina. That’s definitely not the experience we want to provide. Please reach out to dhcfeedback.com so we can address this directly and make things right. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll give us another chance.

This is by far my favorite fast casual restaurant. I came here for dinner and ordered their chicken tender and a side of fries. This restaurant is located in a plaza, so there was ample parking, sufficient indoor and outdoor seating, and I did notice that the restaurant was cold inside. I probably waited about 10 minutes until I got my food. Chicken Tenders (5/5): This was so good!

I love Dave's hot chicken! It's always tasty , fresh and bonus points that they are open late! I usually get the #1 which is 2 tenders w/ fries or Dave's bites w/ fries !

This Dave's Hot Chicken is conveniently located in a plaza with plenty of parking, alongside Kohl's and Trader Joe's. I stopped by on Drake's birthday to take advantage of their promotion: a free chicken slider for downloading the app and signing up for their rewards program. Though the line was long, with about a 30-minute wait, it was worth it. The slider looked amazing, with visibly high-quality chicken. I got the mild spice level, which had a good flavor, but it didn't come with any sauce, so it felt a bit dry. Next tim... read more
