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

Overall, I had a great experience at Dave's Hot Chicken. Originally, I wanted to check out another restaurant for a quick breakfast, but that restaurant was packed. Since I was down for breakfast or non-breakfast food, I decided to check out Dave's Hot Chicken which was in the same shopping center because it was pretty empty (probably bc it was 10:30/11 am). Upon entering the restaurant, I was quickly greeted by two delightful crew members. The guy taking my order was very patient with me because I needed some time to re... read more

Accessible parking, nice staff, easy online ordering and pickup, but the food was underwhelming. It visually looks great but it is missing seasoning, flavor, and heat in the sauce. Unfortunately, I wouldn't order again.

I was HANGRY!!! So, I needed to get a quick bite. I was near this spot and decided to stop here. I had the chicken tender and sliders combo with Kale slaw. Food was okay. Service was fine. The person taking my order was nice and asked if it was my first time. He was patient as I figured out my order. The star of my visit was the decor. It was VIBRANT, colorful, clean, and inviting. Very trendy looking. Take a look at the pictures. Want more authentic opinions? Check out my video reviews on my various social media platforms:... read more

Pro: big parking lot, online ordering, delivery app, clean interior. Con: wait time. Wanted to try this restaurant for a while and finally had the chance today. I ordered the 2 tenders with fries and the 2 sliders with fries online. Parking lot is big so no issue finding a parking space. When I arrived it was at the exact estimated time for pick up but it was so busy that my food wasn't ready so I had to wait a bit. The atmosphere was nice and had good music playing in the background. I notice other people waiting and doo... read more

We had an incredible experience today for lunch. The restaurant was spotless, customer service incredible and food hot and delicious. I had 2 tenders and Mac and cheese and my husband had mini sliders and Mac and cheese. Food was fresh, flavorful and well seasoned. We both had medium spice level and it was perfection. I had a vanilla shake with toppings for dessert and it was a winner. Thank you to Alfredo and the other incredible staff that greeted us. We will be back, it was a 10 out of 10

Overall good price, good atmosphere, friendly staff, and clean environment. Sliders: 4/5 the chicken in the sandwich is not as big compared to chick fila but it's def healthier tasting and has a better crunch. I got hot for the spice level after reading reviews and people saying the medium was lacking but the hot was not! It was a good amount of spice. I also tried the very hot and if I ate all of that, it probably would have hurt my stomach. Fries: 5/5 good, perfectly crunchy, lightly seasoned.

Why make it so hard to eat? It's a chicken place...I want to eat Chicken...Can I do that? No. It's literally cheaper to order the chicken straps with the fries that I won't eat and will throw in the trash. I just want 3 strips...and not get ripped off. Alas... I ordered a big honkin' box of ten and will bring the rest home where hopefully someone will eat them. Through inhale been warned that once I ope. The box of ten it's very hard to close it. Great.

This is my 2nd visit to a Dave's and the experience was similar both times. First off, the food tastes great. A couple sliders and fries with a 20oz beverage fills you up. The chicken is crispy on the edges and juicy inside and for me the medium sauce hits the spot with a lot of flavor and a good mild heat. The downside and the reason for the ding on the stars... #1 is the speed of delivery. On a Sunday night I walked in the door and directly to the counter with no line and my receipt says I ordered at 8:37 with my food gi... read more
