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.

The front staff is very inviting and friendly. I ordered a Dave's #4 Hot with Fries. The food was ready in an appropriate amount of time. When we received them, the fries were crunchy and tasty! The sandwich was nice and spicy, I could have gone a little bit spicier based on the level of spice (will try extra hot next time).

Been here a few times and it's been tasty everytime. I think the medium spice is my sweet spot, good flavor but doesn't burn my mouth out. Dave's Hot Chicken is my go to for a chicken sandwich now. Good, quick service as well. I'll be back for sure.

The toast looks like it came from Mrs Bairds Bread instead of homemade bread. Other than that the service was great, but wish the milkshake size was bigger. I ordered a large but looks small. One last thing Extra Hot is a step lower than Reaper (u have to sign a waiver for this). I should've ordered a lower heat, but I've had Extra Hot from another restaurant, but was not as hot from what I had.

I came here last week, i got a hot slider and a tender and it was very good but the heat always covers the taste so i came back this week and i got the mild one and i was able to tell that other that to spice there's not much going on. The sauce tastes good and the fries are very good too. The staff are very free and they keep checking on the tables to make sure that everything is clean. The place itself looks nice and i like the decoration. But it's the lack of flavor that makes me not give it a five start but i will come b... read more

Not impressed. The tenders are okay but nothing special. Taste if they were coated in seasoning but the actual inner part of the tender is bland. For 3 tenders it was almost $19. Couldn't imagine feeding a family of four. The fries are ok but taste as if the seasoning was put on after cooking instead of pre-cooking. The tenders are the size of chicken breast so that's a plus.

Chicken was wonderful and fresh. I ordered a medium and a hot tender. The medium was mild. The hot was hot! Crystal was wonderful. She walked through all the tables to make sure that we were all OK! Amanda greeted us as soon as we walk in the door. She helped us with the menu as it was our first time here. 10 out of 10 I would come back again and tell all my friends about Dave's hot chicken! The atmosphere is fun and relaxing! we got a table by the window and it was perfect. My only feedback is for a freestyle soda machine!... read more

dhc has some great chicken. usually, its 2 larger, long pieces. service was as any other place. the store was really well done and encapsulates the dhc design. but i do have to mention, your tenders will not have as much flavor because you cant handle spice since the milder flavors, which why would you get if its a place that specializes in especially hot chicken, have less seasoning and are usually for kids or uncultured people (try hot or higher) ! and dont leave one star reviews for something you didnt even try. ricky's i... read more
