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.

Beautiful ambiance! Very nice service although when I went it was an incredible wait. The reason why it's a 3 star is because I got their hot bites...and it's just spice no flavor at all. The sauce definitely carries the spicy bites 100 %. I tried my mom's regular chicken bites and it was good it had flavor. So if you're getting spicy get extra sauce for it because you won't taste anything but bitter spice.

This was our 1st time eating at a Dave's Hot Chicken. The decor is unique with it's graffiti style. There were bar stools for seating along the windows and table seating with 2 tops, 4 tops, and a very large table that could be used for large groups or communal dining as needed. You order at the counter. We were dining in so they gave us a beeper. I liked being able to get a table in the mean time. While I was with another adult this was always a welcome feature when my kids were younger. I ordered a 10 piece Chicken bites e... read more

My husband and I came here to try the famous Carolina reaper and the very hot! Let me tell you it did not disappoint! Come prepared! If you can train your body to eat spicy and I mean SPICY peppers (raw jalapeños, raw serranos, Thai chili pepper or Habanero) for a whole week before coming! That's what I did! My husband was tearing, and I sat there like normal and never had a sip of my drink! WOWEEEE!!!

Best chicken sliders we have ever had, super moist, flavorful with great slaw and sauce. The staff was top shelf for a "fast" food restaurant. Chris actually checked in at the table to insure we were happy. Looking forward to the new Ocala location coming later this year. Great experience

I went on the first Friday they were open. I had no problem waiting an hour. I got the two slider combo. I ordered one slider as extra hot and the other slider I ordered the reaper, which I had to sign a waiver for. The service was great and there wasn't a long wait for my to go order considering how busy they were. The fries were great. They were crispy and seasoned. The extra hot slider was amazing. Great creeping heat level. The slaw on the slider does a good job of cooling your mouth down. The Reaper was also amazing. Th... read more
