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.

Wasn’t even hungry but wanted to try the sliders. Way better than Chickafila and better deal since one of Dave’s slider is bigger than a regular sandwich. Great service by Antonio and another lady (sorry I didn’t catch her name). Place is well kept. Music is a bit odd(big range in both time period and genre). For the service, good food, and value for your buck I would come here again!

I am visiting from Canada, on a business trip. Searched up halal options nearby and found Dave’s. I am impressed with the taste, menu and quality. We have Popeyes, Mary Browns and KFC, all halal now, in Canada. But you guys beat all of them!

I've tried two different Dave's Hot Chicken locations and both have been on point. DON'T LET THE WORD "SLIDER" FOOL YOU! These sandwiches are huge!! I think the medium spice level is the perfect choice for flavor and just a touch of heat. I feel they provide a great value and amazing flavor.

The line for Raising Cane's was down the block. I had it before, I knew it wasn't worth the wait. I went to Dave's and was immediately served by polite & professional staff. Restaurant kept nice and clean throughout. Get the #3 combo, can't go wrong. Know how well you can handle spicy chicken before going here. Chicken was crispy, flavorful, and juicy. Dave's OG sauce took it to a whole new level. The plain piece of white bread was a bit stale. I would've rather had R.C.'s Texas toast. Seasoned cheesy fries are delicious.... read more

First time ordering from this location. It’s located adjacent to Qdoba. The staff were quite attentive and the food good. Ambience, not so inviting though. But nevertheless, will order from there again. If the food and service is good, then the ambience really doesn’t matter!
