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.

Don't believe the negative reviews. Not my experience at all. Delicious perfectly fried chicken with incredible rub. Loved the hi c orange slush. Little expensive but I'd do it again

The sliders are delicious and juicy! I prefer the kale slaw instead of regular slaw on the sandwich. Service was excellent and the store was clean. Definite must try!

I had never been to Dave's Hot Chicken, so when they opened this location I decided to try it. Although it was day one, so I waited for an hour in the drive thru line, I ordered online while waiting so it was ready when I got to the front. I got a slider meal, medium heat. It was really good. The fries were excellent with lots of seasoning, and the slider was bigger than most full sized sandwiches elsewhere. The chicken was really good. The Dave's sauce is really good, get extra. It was way more food than I expected, so alth... read more

I recently took my granddaughter out for a milkshake. She picked this restaurant over another restaurant known for their shakes. We were greatly disappointed. The cup was three-quarter full milkshake and the last quarter was tiny M&Ms. They were not even mixed together. At the high price we paid, it simply wasn't worth it.

I went to Dave's Hot chicken for the first time today. Prices were outrageous. The chicken was awful I ordered a number one mild and it was 2 pieces of dry rubbed and awful chicken. A bunch of frozen cheap fries and some pickles. I WONT BE BACK

I've only been to a Dave's hot chicken once before. This experience didn't live up to my other. Service was mediocre and very slow even tho it was not busy. I got a Dave's #2 - 2 sliders and fries. Fries were cold and chicken was slightly warm. There are definitely better options around.
