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

Ordered thru Ubereats for pick-up and you know it's busy beause our pick up time was 2hrs out lol. I can see why though. This is easily my favorite chicken sandwich out of all chicken sandwich spots. My bf and I ordered the slider and tender combo with cheese fries. Their cheese fries are nothing to write home about. Will probably sub out for a different side next time. The tenders/sliders are massive and still retained its crunch after a long ride home. I got medium and hot, and the hot was way way way way spicier than ... read more

Ordered 2 tenders with fries, 2 sliders with fries, mac and cheese, vanilla milkshake, and a 10 pc. Dave's Bites for pick-up. It was good. I am glad I tried it, but it wasn't memorable and tasty where I want to go back for another. The food was prepared on time and it was crowded on a Friday night.

Cashiers couldn't be nicer or more helpful. I got a tender and and slider with fries and a small drink for $18. Not cheap but it was tasty. Chicken seems to be cooked to order as they give you a buzzer and it takes a few minutes to come out. I got medium spice on the chicken it was flavorful but not painful. Not a regular stop for me as the menu is pretty much riffs off Nashville hot chicken but I will be back.

This Daves Hot Chicken is surprisingly very large with plenty of space for seating available. I got a large chicken sandwich with fries that were cooked perfectly. The service at this location is also very friendly!

Came here on a Tuesday and there were lots of seats available. The place is pretty clean and workers were friendly. I ordered #2, 2 sliders+fries (switched out fries for Mac and cheese). You can customize the heat level of the tenders, I picked medium and hot and they tasted pretty similar. The seasoning is very flavorful and the tenders are juicy. My partner ordered extra hot and reaper and he said there was a big difference in heat level between the two. Fries were seasoned well and the mac and cheese was good (thick chee... read more

The portions are huge and the milkshakes are tasty. If you like spice, order up a level spicier than you think you'll want. I hope we get one closer to us soon - I'd go again!

This is a hopping place to get some fried chicken strips. They have strips in a sandwich or alone with fries or as a side. They have a couple of sides you can order too - claw, Mac & cheese. If you are into a hot and spicy meal or a mild one, you can regulate the amount of heat! They have water, soda and slushies to complement your food. The food was good but the line to order was long around 7-9pm. 20+ people. Forget about the wait for your food. It was even worst. Mobs of people waiting for their food, hovering near ... read more

I don't understand the hype. Very busy and definitely a place for the Gen Z crowd. The chicken is too heavily seasoned for my taste and they just give plain white bread for its slider sandwiches. I prefer Raising Cane's

Chicken had great flavor but less moist than Chick-fil-A and Raising Cane's. Service was busy and slower due to mobile and take out orders. Ambiance was cool comparative to Raising Cane's decor and vibes. Hot level chicken was a bit too hot for me but the combo was filling.
