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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

Had to stop by Dave's Hot Chicken while visiting from out of town and it was a good snack! We got the #3 meal which came with one tender, one slider and fries and also the strawberry lemonade slushy. The one meal plus the drink was over $18 which I think is a bit too expensive considering the amount of food you get. The chicken was very tasty and fried well. We got lite mild and it had great flavor! The slider was our favorite and the slaw paired well with it. The fries were delicious! Skip the slushy - it's mostly ice and a... read more

Everyone I know has been raving about this place, I finally stopped in yesterday to give it a try. It was honestly better than I expected. I've had a lot of fried chicken and this was excellent. I was worried the seasoning would be too salty but it wasn't. Prices are a bit steep; however, the portions are large and we were able to make 2 meals out of it. Only criticism is that the fries should've been a bit crispier. Friendly service as well. Overall, I think it's definitely better than KFC and Popeyes. We will be bac... read more

So happy we're able to order ahead. We've been a few times already and the spice level is fantastic. Service is quick and workers are efficient. Food has been consistent, hope it stays that way.

Definitely worth the hype. The line is quite long as they just opened but were still able to get our food within 20 minutes. I got the extra hot chicken sandwich after I found out I had to sign a waiver for the reaper. The chicken was amazing and spice was definitely manageable. Next time I'll be sure to get the reaper. I also got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake. I was disappointed when it simple a vanilla ( can pick between chocolate, vanilla or strawberry base) shake with the actual cereal on top. It was a nice sweet treat... read more
