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.

Great customer service and very sanitary! My favorite meal combo is #3. Not to mention the inside of this place, the painting really make it stand out which I love. I recommend this place!

It's fine I guess Narrow menu: Everything is based around an identical chunk of white chicken. If you want a bun, it's called a "slider". If you want a slice of what looks like wonder bread, then it's called a "tender". Choose one of 7 levels of heat. Fries are always the same no matter what. Service is fast food standard. Tell them what you want. Pay. Wait for your number to be called. Eat it there or take it home. The eating area is out of view of the kitchen, the music is set to "blast" levels and the furnitur... read more

Love Dave's Hot chicken and this new branch has not skipped a beat. The staff is very friendly and the food has been done just right. They always seem busy but just order ahead and pick it up! Been there about 10 times in a few months lol

Good food, but the wait is long! Probably 20 minutes waiting for chicken. Love seeing and smelling the unhoused man in the restaurant.

Delicious chicken!! Love spicy chicken. Service isn't great, they are a little slow and not friendly at all. I stood waiting for about 10 minutes while they were chatting. I finally asked if they were still taking orders and one of the gals looked at me confused. I then asked in Spanish and she walked over to assist me. The wait was long but the food is delicious. Easy parking and they are open late.

First time trying Dave's hot chicken. Was a bit nervous to try after seeing mixed reviews and because my stomach was still adjusting to being sick. No issues after eating this meal which means it's not super greasy. I got the meal with two sliders, hot, with fries and a soda. In addition to this, I had three other meals and two shakes to carry. The cashier helped me to my car even though I was stubborn at first to let her. I had to drive the food back home which meant it sat in the car for about 20 minutes. I was worried it ... read more

Very clean location. I was very, very impressed by the service, the ambiance, and most of all, the FOOD!!! I ordered the tender sliders in medium hot. I added honey to it as I read about it on another review. Oh my goodness, it was absolutely delicious I suggest requesting that they add ore sauce to the bread and not a small drizzle on top of the chicken. However, they had a cup of sauce on the side, so it was adequate to add, along with all the extra pickles. I wish they would bring one of these places to my hometown ... read more
