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.

Pros: -Chicken was Juicy, tender and well cooked -Ambieance -Portions are filling -Provide extra pickles and sauce on the side to go Cons -Milkshake was more milk than shake Overall the quality of the meal was phenomenal. The vibe and atmosphere on the restaurant was a fun and relaxed vibe with well done graffiti across the walls. For a fast food restaurant you definitely don't feel like you're in a typical grab and go. Would recommend for any age.

The chicken was crispy, filling and juicy!!! The milkshake is a pass next time for me the chocolate Oreo one I was looking forward to it and it was lack luster. The Dave's sauce though was deliciously delicious!!!!

Excellent service. Sandy is an awesome manager who took initiative when i told her i ordered my uber eats order for the wrong store. After i thanked her for correcting the issue she introduced herself, and put her hand out to shake my hand. It really spoke volume to me. The food was exquisite too. But the service was amazing. Whoever promoted her to manager made the correct decision

This place was surprisingly great. I had seen this on social media.... However I def didn't expect it to be tasty I wanted something other than chick fila and being a holiday everything healthy like fresh kitchen and Viet-Nomz was closed so I pulled in glad they had a drive through because I was definitely lazy . I love how you can pick the spice level I got mild and it wasn't spicy at all just tasty the pickles were great and fries seasons to perfection. I will def be back

SERVICE: 3 FOOD QUALITY: 5 DRINK QUALITY: 4 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 4 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.42 I've been to Dave's Hot Chicken several times now, so I generally know what to expect when it comes to the food, but this visit didn't start on the best foot. I arrived just thirty minutes after they opened, and despite only a few customers in the restaurant, every table was dirty and the floor was littered with trash. It gave off a careless vibe that didn't match the energy of a freshly opened ... read more

While on a roadtrip we saw it and decided to give it a try. It was delicious! Fresh chicken, fresh seasoned fries. Employees were very nice. 10/10. Wish I lived closer.

Dave's Hot Chicken is a must-try spot if you're a fan of bold, fiery flavors, but be warned--their spice levels are not for the faint of heart! From "No Spice" to the infamous "Reaper," the heat builds fast and doesn't hold back. Even the mid-level options pack an intense punch that will leave you reaching for a drink. The chicken is always juicy, crispy, and flavorful, and their signature sliders and tenders are massive and satisfying. While the food is undeniably great, the drive-thru experience can be hit-or-miss. It ten... read more

While she was in town visiting, my mom brought home Dave's Hot Chicken. I was able to try the two piece chicken strip meal with fries and toast. Everything was delicious. The strips are huge and amounts to 3-4 regular sized strips. Two people who do not eat as much could probably share for lunch. Make sure to give it a try!

My last visit to Dave's, when I discovered the company had discontinued their "Not Chicken" line, was so distressing that I started regularly searching "Dave's Not Chicken" online in the deranged hope that it might someday make a triumphant return. Well, my desperate search was not in vain. A few weeks ago I saw a post on Reddit that Dave's Not Chicken had returned, and was thrilled to see it back on the menu at this location. Today I was in Lake Mary so I stopped in for my beloved cauliflower slider and delicious fries. T... read more
