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.

Popped in for a late lunch on a Friday, plenty of interior seating, fast service and food comes out quickly. Opted for the single slider and a side of kale salad. Dining companion for the slider meal (came with fries). Sandwich was good and chicken was hefty but I found the seasoning a little too heavy handed (I.e. too much cumin- or a spice similar) but when I topped it with a drizzle of honey, it really balances it out. The kale salad was fresh and not drenched in sauce which I appreciated. I got the medium spice and found... read more

I give Dave's Hot Chicken 3.5 stars! I really enjoyed my 2nd visit, I ordered mild. The first time I had it hot and I thought the seasoning was too much, and the chicken was on the dryer side. The fries are delicious, I'm a fan of crinkle fries and I love the extra pickles on the side. The bread isn't just normal bread it does have a buttery, Hawaiian rolls texture type of bread, lightly toasted inside but doesn't stay toasted. I recommend using the honey packets, it makes the experience better and add cheese to tone down he... read more

The location is pretty small with a few tables not suitable for a larger group but food is on point. My husband signed a waiver and got the spiciest sandwich on the menu and instantly regretted that decision - it was Hella spicy (reaper!!) and I would only recommend that if you eat food for the level of spiciness and don't care about flavours as such since the reaper kills all your flavour buds. We also got mac and cheese, mild sandwich and fries which was all really good and flavourful!

The chicken was so moist and well seasoned. The amount of pickles was great and the fries were standard. I asked for extra daves sauce and received so much!! I wish the bread was toasted or had butter but it was overall very good. The price is a bit high but expected for the location. And the medium spice was not spicy at all. I plan to come back soon.

I went here a couple times for a late night snack and it hit the spot every time! The servers are super friendly even at 1 am in the morning and one time I went, they even handed out free slushies for the people in line! I always get the chicken sandwich - the bun is soft and warm, the chicken is juicy, and their special sauce is delicious! The space is on the smaller side but there's plenty of seating and it's pretty clean. I highly recommend if you're looking for a quick dinner or late night snack!

The service was fast when I went, but sometimes it can be slow due to a long line. With that being said, the only reason the line is so long is because the food kicks ass. I'd do smth devious for dem chicken sliders

Food, service, pricing is great. The biggest downside is location. Super inconvenient spot for finding parking, people there are mostly rude, inconsiderate, and loud. The corner reeks of human waste and marijuana. People dressed provocatively. Definitely Not a place I'd bring my kids too specifically for these reasons. I get that it's Seattle and it's a given that these will be an issue but how about considering opening another chain elsewhere where it's cleaner and family friendly. Otherwise we Love Dave's hot chicken.
