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.

Chicken was good but hot AF ... ha. I think I got hot. Maybe even mild. I tell u what u better have a quart of milk ready . No but seriously the chicken was tasty and the fries were cool as well. It's fairly new in the lake market area. Try it. My lady brought it to me so I can't comment on the service or anything.

Came out to Dave's Hot Chicken to try it, having recently moved to the area. It was OK. We may come here again if wanting something a little different from Chick-fil-A. Our comparison would be to Chicken Fire in downtown Orlando. We definitely prefer Chicken Fire, for both the spicy and the no spice versions fried chicken. However, Dave's fries were also very good. In comparison to chicken fire, Dave's just didn't have that wow factor. The chicken was crunchy and well cooked, but on my no spice slider, it did not have the... read more

Been driving by here for a while. Finally decided to try it and it did not disappoint. Got the chicken slider with fries. Sandwich looked just like the picture and tasted so good. Fries were hot and crispy. Cheyanne took our order and she was very friendly and answered all our questions about the menu. Atmosphere is pretty cool and it was clean. Definitely will make this a regular stop.

About the best chicken sandwich I've come across. If someone asked me if it was better than chic-fil-a or Publix chicken I would say it's better than Chic-fil-a and a rival for Publix chicken. On teams of service, it's good. Staff seem great and food comes out the way it should and on time. The inside of the place is nice, very clean and spacious. Great place to have lunch.

The business is really nice. The staff is pretty good. The cheese fries are amazing. The one thing I don't understand is why the chicken is different than like other chicken it's more like harder than maybe that's the way Dave's hot chicken goes in my opinion the sides are better than the chicken, the chicken is not that soft
