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.

Super friendly and patient employees. Confident and well trained. Will definitly be back.
Those who follow my reviews know I avoid national chains in favor of locally owned restaurants for the most part, but Dave's Hot Chicken is a locally owned franchise, so I guess it counts.

The flavor of this chicken is off the charts amazing, and the texture... nearly no fat to gnaw through. I got the mild and it didn't sting at all in the mouth. But I still put the honey on it they offered, delish. Dude at the counter was kind and helpful with good eye contact. Food came super quickly. The art on the walls is a whole vibe; love it. I was honestly shocked by how tasty the chicken is here, and I enjoyed eating it with a side of sweet tea.
Nice chicken sandwich lightly battered lots of seasonings , good portion for the price. Crinkle cut fries are a great compliment to the sandwich. Ask for extra pickles!
La comida es buena y caliente y tienen buen servicio, excelente música y está limpio el restaurante

Have seen this spot for about a year now, but never attempted to stop in. Friends of ours ordered a couple catering trays a couple weeks ago, and I was BLOWN AWAY.

I am truly impressed reading the story of Dave's. Just keep up the business model, stay humble, do righ... read more
