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.

This place is the best chain for hot chicken! I have had Nashville hot chicken in Nashville from a few places and it was amazing. Dave's hot chicken is probably the closest you will get to authentic Nashville hot chicken. The flavors are really balanced and it's not just spicy. The dipping sauce was really good and added a good flavor to the chicken. The staff were nice and the restaurant had great seating.

This was my first visit to Dave's Hot Chicken. Lilly took my order and she was very helpful explaining all the levels of hotness of the chicken and the difference between all of the options. I loved the taste, the spiciness and tenderness of the chicken. It is truly the best chicken I have had in many years. I will be certain to return as I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken. Next time, I will try the hot cauliflower. I would rate Dave's Hot Chicken an 11 out of a possible 10! My only suggestion was that should be toothpick... read more

Dave's serves up some kicking' chicken! Moist and delicious and as spicy hot as you could possibly want it (or choose to not want it)! Fries have a nice edge to them and Coke products on tap. Attentive counter service and served up as quickly as freshly cooked serves up. I'm liking Dave's a lot!

Best Chicken sandwich I've ever had. Blows Chick-fil-A out of the water. Wonderful service and clean store.

11-8-2023 After we took my mom to her eye appt. , we stopped here to get some take out tenders. They were very good, juicy inside, crunchy outside with nice spice. The stale bread was a bit weird, but we will be returning!

Clean and cashiers are friendly with smiles. The chicken is a bit pricey. If they are going to last in this spot so close to the competitor they will need daily specials or something. I am a spicy girl for sure. HOWEVER, when they said spicy they mean it!! The spice level I tried first time there was hot. Oopsie, not I good choice for a first timer. But I'm a trooper so I covered in honey and ate it. Scrumptious!!! There fries are ok - nothing special just regular old crinkle fries. The slice of bread was stale and not a qu... read more

Food is A1, but most importantly the customer service was amazing. I couldn't speak highly enough about Lily and the entire staff. The quality of the chicken and the flavors are surprising given that this is a fast food joint. I will most definitely be back!

Today Dave's hot chicken celebrated Drakes birthday with a free slider. I stopped by and got my slider with everything on it and extra hot. Being a free slider day, I expected to wait a long time. I waited 6 minutes before my name was called, and was in and out in less than 10 minutes. This slider was absolutely fantastic. it was juicy, crispy, spicy, saucy, and delicious. One free slider turned into a long term customer. Thanks drake and thanks Dave's Hot Chicken!
