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.

I recently ordered from Dave’s Hot Chicken and was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food. The chicken was soggy, tasted off, and did not seem fully cooked. Both my fiancé and I felt nauseous after eating, and even my 4-year-old daughter refused to eat it. Given that we spent $60 on this meal, I expected much better quality. I would appreciate a refund, as the food was inedible and caused us to feel unwell. Please let me know how to proceed. I got 2 orders of sliders with fries Loaded fries Chicken bites and f... read more

This place is expensive. The food is comparable to Caines. The chicken coating sticks to your fingers. I was mildly satisfied with the taste. Service was very slow. Many cars that arrived after me were served before me. There was nothing complicated about my order. The atmosphere looked like ghetto spray paint art.

Food was delicious and received quickly. I also happened to forget my purse there and the nice cashier let the manager know that I might have left my handbag behind and they put it in the safe for me until I was able to retrieve it. Such amazing customer service and a bunch of honest and proactive workers.

8.31.24 - Nice new, clean, and great food. A bit costly ($60+ after taxes), but really delicious, moist chicken tenders, crispy seasoned crinkle fries are addictive. This has to be a once in a while treat. Honestly Carl's Jr/ Hardee's has the best tenders and fries and no where near as expensive as Dave's. we Ordered a box of ten tenders with a box of fries ... lasted my family two days. The seasoning on the tenders is A LOT. Thought they would be super hot because of the amount of bright red spice, but not spicy at al... read more

An excellent place to the spicy fried chicken love. Dave’s hot chicken is probably the most spicy chicken you can ever get in any resturant. You can get from average to extreme spicy chicken for the most spicy one (known as reaper) you have to sign off their waivers form and you must be +18 Dave’s sauce was unique too that makes the chicken more delicious. Try their sliders, they are full of flavors. They have clean and decent dine in area. Our family loved the chicken, the loaded fries the sliders. This resturant is very cl... read more
