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.

Finally had Dave's hot chicken and it did not live up to my expectations. Several people have really hyped this place up and my first experience fell short. I had the two sandwich combo. I loved the bread, the sauce and the extra pickles on the side. The regular tender had good flavor but was did not taste fresh which was disappointing. The medium spice tender was similar and I did not love the general flavor of the spicy rub. The fries were not crispy or hot. This was not at all what I expected but I do plan on giving at an... read more

Finally Dave's Hot Chicken has come to my hood. With apologies to the Rock, I didn't know this was a thing. And fair disclosure I'm not the best person to review this group of restaurants. It's an exception for me not the rule. I love the backstory and love the purity of focus. The fries are very good. A perfectly crispy crinkle fry is rare. Well seasoned and worth the trip alone. The chicken isn't bad. But the spices create a dust that coats your fingers and mouth. I went mild and it was fine. The chicken itself was well co... read more

I visited Dave's hot chicken for the first time today. There was a long line, so I knew it had to be good. Hans took my order at the register. He is the true definition of customer service and leadership. He was friendly, thorough, and efficient. I will definitely be back.

Dave's hot chicken is truly the first of its kind in West Pines and I was STOKED when i saw it coming in. We waited a bit while the hype died down a little because the first week or two the line was out the door! We stopped in after studying the menu and walked up knowing exactly what we wanted. As a fast casual spot, you order at the counter and then they give you a buzzer to wait for your food. We got the sliders (extra hot), tenders (no spice) and Dave's bites (nuggets, no spice), crinkle cut fries and Mac n Cheese. ... read more

The food was fine. The toast was surprisingly disappointing. We came at 5 PM on a Saturday and surprisingly waited a long time (30 minutes) although it was empty. The restaurant smelled awful inside to the point where when we left people were waiting in a line to sit on the patio. 

Business response:

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. It’s important to us that every guest leaves satisfied, and we regret that we missed the mark here. If you’d be open to sharing more at dhcfeedback.com, we’d love the chance to make it right.

Dave's Hot Chicken is my absolute favorite chicken place. I first tried them in Oregon several years ago and have been waiting for a local restaurant to open. We stopped by opening day and were not disappointed. The place was clean and staff friendly even though they were packed with a line out the door. I had the sliders and fries meal in medium, mac & cheese and a vanilla shake. Medium is just spicy enough that you get a little kick but can still taste your food. Everything was great. Make sure you get some extra Dave'... read more
