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

Let's just say: I've eaten a lot of hot chicken in my day. But the Reaper at Dave's Hot Chicken? This was the first time I've ever stared at my food after signing a waiver and thought: Maybe I've finally met my match. Walking in, you're greeted with bold graffiti art repping Redding hard, bright neon, and that clean, industrial vibe that sets the tone is fun, energetic, but serious about heat. The ordering process was easy, the staff was friendly (and maybe slightly amused that I ordered the Reaper), and the food came out ... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken stands out for its bold flavors, juicy chicken, and crave-worthy heat levels that range from mild to "Reaper," catering to every spice tolerance.

The simplicity of the menu keeps the focus on quality, while sides like creamy mac & cheese and crispy fries complement the heat beautifully. Whether you're a spice lover or just want a satisfying, no-nonse... read more

Without a doubt the best chicken sandwich place there is. I've been to a handful of the big name spots and none have compared to Dave's in my opinion. My only complaint is that they reformulated the reaper and now it's TOO hot. I haven't tried any of the low spice levels, but the chicken in general is never overcooked, incredibly juicy and has the perfect crispiness. The art style of the inside of Dave's is awesome too, they all have their own twist inside.

Tried a box of chicken strips 1/2 medium 1/2 hot spiced! Delicious meaty strips with great flavor! Definitely love the Dave sauce for dipping. Pickles were definitely a great mouth cleanser and cool down! Was empty when I arrived so ambiance was flat but placed was decorative and hip! Love the fruit punch smoothie!
