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.

Didn't know there was a Dave's Hot Chicken in town until we drove by. Figured we'd give it a try and I'm glad we did. We ordered the #3 which is one tender, one slider, and fries. We also ordered a side of Mac and Cheese and bottled drinks. They were out of carbonation for fountain drinks tonight. We chose a medium spice level. The flavor was good but there wasn't much spice so next time I'll have to try not. The chicken has nice flavor and I also enjoyed the fries. The sauce that comes on the sliders was delicious. They als... read more

I like the concept, I may have come on a busy day, but I took 1 hour for my food to be ready and when it came I was a bit disappointed, I got mild just to be safe, but as expected it was mild, I wouldn't even say mild, it was a bit sweet. I like their sauce and I like the background of the restaurant, but it's also a bit to hip for me, or atleast it felt like, I am 16 but I have what you call an old soul, and I felt a bit overwhelmed by the noise and the colors. Also was a bit expensive, but I do have to keep in mind inflati... read more

Good food and friendly staff! We went for lunch today and were really impressed! I ate the cauliflower sandwich and had a chicken tender on the side, all hot flavor and was impressed with the spices used and the flow or over all. The chicken was juicy and thick, it was cooked just right! My husband tried the reaper tenders. Although they were VERY hot, they had a great flavor to them. Also, we love how the interior is decorated. There are paintings of local sports teams on a huge mural, it is really cool! We will be back w... read more

Selfishly, I almost didn't want to write this review. Why? Because the more people who know how BOMB this place is, the longer the wait times will be for me to pick up my go-to order! No need to make the road trip to Los Angeles now that we have a Dave's of our very own! This spot does not disappoint (unless you don't like chicken!) Came here for the first time shortly after it opened, and we have been back several times since then! The staff are friendly, it's always kept very clean, and even with longer lines, the w... read more

For the price, the food was not impressive. The service was very friendly and the place was clean and looks cool inside! I probably will not return due to the high prices, lack of sides and the flavor just wasn't something memorable. If I want overpriced chicken I will go to canes, and at least get more than 2 tenders and they have better sauce. Also canes isn't dry.

I've never tried any of the hot chicken places so I didn't know what to expect. I ordered the number 3 - medium. Our food came out in about 10-15 mins. It was good. The flavor wasn't too hot and the fries were good too. The atmosphere is nice and casual with good music. I don't know if I'll be back but I'm glad I can say I tried it!

Did not expect to find myself wanting to try a place with chicken in the title as someone who doesn't even eat chicken! I also don't really like fake meat, but this place has a ton of cauliflower selections! I ordered online today and it was ready on time! Got Mac n cheese, cauliflower slider with fries. And kale slaw. The slider was amazing. For some reason I expected it to be really small but it wasn't. I got mild spice and I could've gone spicier! The fries are also perfectly spiced, though they were a touch soggy. The Ma... read more
