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.

Seriously my favorite restaurant now! After a junk experience at raising canes I wanted to try Dave's. Ever since I have loved it, the food is absolutely delicious! The workers are very friendly and will strike up a conversation, and the inside is very welcoming and well decorated and painted. Definitely worth stopping by! The drive through can be slow, but who cares, it's because they are making your food fresh!

People like you are what keep us going. We appreciate the love and support. Hope to have you back soon!
My food was brought to me by hubby and nephew. I got the chicken strips/fingers and it was okay...nothing to make me go running back for more. It wasn't bad, but there are so many chicken options, this one just doesn't stand out for me, sorry. The chicken and spices just didn't have much flavor. I can't speak of staff or store for this one, but my nephew loves it.
Business response:
Appreciate you giving us a try! Sorry our flavors didn’t quite stand out for you, but glad your nephew’s a fan. If you ever decide to give us another shot, we’d love the chance to change your min
By far the best chicken sandwich, and employees are always so friendly. Second time here, love Dave's Hit Chicken!!
Business response:
Thanks, Keith! We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving the chicken sandwiches and our friendly team. Can’t wait to welcome you back for round three!
Awesome experience at this Dave's hot chicken! You should come and visit! The service was great! Really cool ambiance, pretty chill!
Matias was pretty cool and helpful! Definitely recommend this place! I got the Oreo milk shake and slider. The slider was really juicy and great quality
Just ordered one tender, hot. And it was just too spicy for me. Got the mild and it was very good and juicy. Not so good to justify the crazy amount of calories though. Small sign by cashier stated free drink with Yelp check-in. Asked cashier about it and she said it was only valid when one gives the place a 5-star review. Place was fairly empty- employees less than enthusiastic. Just had to try since I love and can tolerate hot Nashville chicken. I might try Dave's again at a different location.
Business response:
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the mild tender, but we’re sorry to hear the spice level and other aspects of your visit didn’t hit the mark. We appreciate you bringing up the sign about the Yelp check-in promotion—our offers should never require a specific rating, and we’ll look into this to ensure clarity. Your feedback about the atmosphere and enthusiasm of the team is also important to us. We’ll make sure it’s shared with the right people to help improve future visits. If you decide... read more

Thanks Alexandra and crew! We also appreciate you reloading the Fanta dispenser. Wokka wokka! (That's the rubber chicken sound)
Business response:
