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.

We came here for a quick bite to eat before heading to the Zoo. We got there right when it opened, so there wasn't too long of a wait for our food. I got the 10 piece Dave's Bites with a side of fries. The chicken was delicious, super moist and flavorful. The only downside was that they didn't have any forks so we had to eat everything with our hands, which wasn't the worst but kind of messy since it was a little saucy.

Dave's hot chicken has real good food and and drinks. My chicken tenders and my girlfriend's mini sliders were real tasty and the added cheese was a good touch in our fries and chicken. Definitely ask for Dave's sauce as it's free! We also had their strawberry lemonade slushie which was real good. However, the inside was very small and tight. There was a big rush of people coming in and it made things crowded and chaotic. No real place to stand and if you want to sit and eat, seating inside is limited to 3 areas (2 tables ... read more

Jessi always seems to be in a good mood when I happen to come in. The guy deserves a raise honestly. Was waiting on my food and he called someone's ordered who proceeded to not be paying attention and then when he called the persons name again, he got to the counter and said "I heard you the first time" and without skipping a beat, Jessi proceeded to be positive and continue packing and getting orders out to folks. People need to be more like Jessi. Also the heart glasses suit them well. This is a great location!
Business response:

This place is super tiny inside,. Its not really a Daves a we know it's more like an airport express kinda version. Even without a lot of humans here when I got her, It did not end that way this place was out the door line. Not a great location for the brand but hey. they are doing something right. The staff here is A+ and the are super great. They move like bees. Whats also cool is the customer base really knows what they want to order. it took 52 minutes to get a side of fries standing inside ordering. this ... read more

I stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken to pick up a takeout order and got the Dave's #2 for this particular visit. Everything about the food, the location, and even the friendliness of the staff was perfectly fine, this review isn't about that. My issue came after I retuned back to my hotel room and accidentally dropped one of my sandwiches on the ground. Obviously, that was on me, so I made the drive back to have it remade. When I explained what happened to the front-of-house employee, I even showed them the completely intact san... read more

Comfortable place and the food is always great. I wanted to give a huge shout out to Angela. She was very kind and had some of the best hustle and customer service I've seen.
