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.

the food here is very amazing, it makes my day in a daily bases and makes me cream ig yk what i mean and the service is really good
They are really the under ground of the Bay area. I see the competition with hot boys. To me they taste totally different. Enjoyed the spicy chicken, will be back. Thank you
Yup! I'm a fan. I wasn't sure about the spice level so I chose medium. Lots of flavor with mild heat. I'll try hot next time.

its Daves- its always gonna be good (: your standard issue fast casual spot but better
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.

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
