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.

Cashier was friendly but super unhelpful with answers to questions. Took a while to get our food because they we're assuming it should have been two meals. Fries were so good. Dave's Sauce (which the cashier didn't know what it was) was pretty good. Mayo based with spices. Chicken was super crispy.

Amazing food and service! My fav is #3 meal with medium spice tender and hot spice level slider. Once you add the Dave's sauce and honey it is amazing! Slider not really a slider and more so the size of a normal burger.

People like you are what keep us going. We appreciate the love and support. Hope to have you back soon!
Chicken is very moist and tasty and if you like spicy and get the reaper, you better be ready. Service was very efficient the day I went even though they had just opened. Pretty good. To me a lot better taste and how moist their chicken is than the place with the long lines and un flavorful chicken. Great addition to that spot.
Business response:
5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!
The screaming chicken logo suits this brand perfectly! The Hot & the Reaper are two of my favorites. I love the simplicity of their menu and the vibe of the place. If you can't get to check out the OG of Nashville, Prince's Hot Chicken and live in NJ- definitely go try Dave's Hot Chicken. Once you get a little taste of it.. I'm sure you'll agree with me, its worth the wait even during their busy time.
Business response:
Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!
I visited Dave's Hot Chicken on Saturday which was their 2nd day being open. The service was great, the restaurant was very clean, although it was very crowded, the wait time was short. The amount of food for the money was great. I will visit again.

We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!
I've always wanted to try this from seeing it on the internet and it finally opened up nearby. The place was packed, they gave out buzzers to wait for the food to be ready. It took a little awhile but once it was done it was so good. I got the hot level which wasn't hot to me, chicken was so good. Even with the honey and Dave's sauce. Fries as well were delicious. Definitely will come back again soon!
Business response:
Aww we are so glad that you enjoyed your meal and that we were able to create a memorable experience for you. We hope that you come back again soon!
I am a huge fan of DHC and this location did not disappoint. I have been waiting for DHC to open a location in Monmouth County for years, and I am so glad it is finally here!! I ordered the #3 (1 tender, 1 slider with fries). I ordered my tender mild, and my slider medium. Both were absolutely incredible. The fries were also seasoned so incredibly well. Everyone should visit and taste Dave's Hot Chicken. Their chicken is some of the juiciest chicken I have ever had in a chicken chain! Congrats DHC team!

The Chicken is perfectly Crispy. The Service is amazing.They severe you Your food Really fast.The relaxed ambiance OF The Paintings ON The wall was great. I had a great time. It was delicious. The food was hot and ready when it came out and it was crispy and the sauce was like a less zesty canes sauce.
