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 ambiance is very lively and casual. I ordered the #1 w/2 BIG tenders, fries, 2 slices of white bread, kosher pickles, and their sauce. Spice level was medium. It was not spicy at all, more on the semi-sweet side. If you want spicy pick extra hot, it's more Hot because hot wasn't hot with from what my son said. If you don't do well with spicy food this is food for you. I couldn't finish my food lol the tenders were very big and juicy. I wish they would have provided ranch dressing besides only their special sauce. The sau... read more

Great chicken! I was surprised that the lite mild - medium wasn't too hot. Service was way quicker than I expected! Location was clean and cool inside even in the hot summer. My cousin was dying trying to eat an extra hot tender though. It was easy to eat in the sandwich but as a lone tender, the heat was harder to endure. I was a bit disappointed in the Dave's sauce. It tastes mostly like plain mayo. I was hoping it'd more like Canes. This place is a chicken place through and through. Other than sides, if you come as a +... read more

Came in about 30 minutes before closing. The place is impeccably clean. The girl at the counter was very vice and patient with us as we decided what to get. This is our second time coming to this location and it did not disappoint. The chicken is so good and the service is always prompt and friendly.
For the first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken , I honestly expected more , but I'm not going to disagree on it , it's good , sauce is a bit sweet; chicken was very seasoned , same with fries , cheese was okay :,) ! I did order through Uber eats , service was good !! If you think it's like canes , I strongly disagree

The staff was very friendly and got my food pretty quick. The restaurant has a few dirty tables when I went but they were busy. I love a good spicy tender and these were definitely spicy! I was not a fan of the breading. It basically fell off completely with each bites. However I really enjoyed the fries and Dave's sauce.

I can officially endorse this establishment after TWO tries!! The first time I had mile high hopes and my sister on the phone ready to give this place a go. Restaurant is COLORFUL, lots of street art style murals inside with their mascot as their main subject. Bright, spacious and clean. Meal did take a little while to cook, I can only assume it's because they have high volume online orders. The only real mistake was ordering a Medium spice level slider, because while crunchy and yummy it was lacking any real heat and just m... read more

So their marketing is really good, the chicken isn't bad but it's not amazing. It really reminded me of raising canes. With this being Nashville style chicken I just thought it would taste like Hattie Bs but it's not nearly as good!

Having been to Nashville recently, I was so excited to try Dave's HC. The menu is simple: chicken sandwich and tenders customized by your choice of sauce: heat level. We ordered the the tenders and the sandwich and chose the hot and the medium. The hot is hot but delicious. The medium is also good. I really like the seasoning on the fries and enjoyed the pickle slices. The vanilla milkshake was really good. We will definitely bet back when we're in San Antone. See pics!
Ordered sliders to-go and the size of the tenders on the sliders were worth the cost. Very flavorful, fries were crispy and sauce was nice. Ordered my boyfriend mild sliders with cheese a nice touch with the Dave's sauce. Overall a good choice to ring in the New Year.
