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.

Been to Dave's Hot Chicken many times. First review as I finally around to it. First, sign up for their rewards program as you will be going time aftet time. In terms of quality of food, it's very high quality although it's not consistent. I have had on some instances where the chicken wasn't hot and fresh & some of the fries were also not hot & crispy. But this evening, everything was perfect. It did take a while as it was extremely busy and its made to order. My son usually gets the medium and I usually get the hot. It's... read more

Better than other hot chicken places like Hangry Joe's in my opinion! The seasoning is very delicious- I recommend getting the honey and smearing that all over the sandwich as it adds flavor. The price is also fair which is a plus.

This was okay but hubby and I both agree we prefer Hangry Joe's. The fries were average & service was not up to par, at least not the afternoon we stopped in for a visit after a trip to the dealership.

FOOD We ordered a regular hot box (hot and extra hot) and a hot box roulette of tenders. They each came with a container of pickles and sauce as well as sliced bread, and we asked for extra sauce packets and honey when picking up. The tenders were well-breaded, seasoned, and definitely packed a punch. The spiciness of the reaper lingers for about 10-15 minutes but quickly resolves afterwards. The others are the same but at a lesser level. Definitely a great place to stop by if looking for a fun meal! SERVICE The staff are ... read more

Sometimes you just have to say "let's do this." Am happy this chain is now in the area. They are one of my favorites. I love combining Tennessee and South Korea! The hot chicken sandwiches here are no joke. I will stick to the mild as that's spicy enough, but truly nutty folks will love the various heat levels. The fries are awesome! What a fun place. Also to the employees, you're doing a great job. Wonderful service is here. Friendly folks and they work hard, to get the food out in a timely manner. My only complaint is min... read more
