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

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

Apologies for any disappointment caused during your visit. We'd love to make it right. Please visit www.tellusdirect.com/DHC to share your concerns and help us improve. Thank you.
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.

The slider and tender are generously sized. The slider is served on soft, pillowy bun that complement the crispy, well-seasoned chicken. The heat level is customizable, which makes it accessible to both spice lovers and those who prefer milder flavors. The slaw and pickles add a refreshing crunch, cutting through the richness of the fried chicken, while the Dave's sauce ties everything together with a creamy, tangy kick. The fries are thick-cut, crispy, and well-seasoned. Portion-wise, the #3 Combo is filling without being... read more

5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!
I don't even have enough words to convey how much I love Dave's Hot Chicken and their perfectly seasoned fries. I'm so glad they opened across the street from where I live. So convenient, delicious, and great staff! They make your custom order so, there's a bit of a wait, since it's always crowded.. but it's worth the wait because the food comes out very fresh & hot! You can order on the app for pickup, so your wait won't be as long. The food is sooo good; it's worth the wait if you plan for it. The chicken is tender ... read more

Appreciate the kind words! Sounds like you had a great experience, and we love hearing that the team is keeping things running smoothly. Hope to see you back soon!
I don't care what the reviews say. A company doesn't go, in less that 10 years, from an initial $900 investment, a picnic table and portable fryer in a parking lot (according to their marketing) to 200 locations nationwide attracting a private equity offer rumor of $1 billion dollars to buy the company if they aren't doing something right. With the experience I had it confirms to me that they are. I waited for the hype to die down a bit because waiting in long lines in the freezing cold for fried chicken (or any food hype) ... read more
My kids and friends have been buzzing about this place on social media, so I decided to check out Dave's Hot Chicken with them, especially after hearing the story of the young entrepreneurs behind it. The restaurant was packed, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the wall art was really cool. The food took a little while to arrive, but it was totally worth the wait since everything was served fresh. We tried the chicken combos, which were clearly designed with their younger crowd in mind. They offer varying levels of ... read more
First off I wanted to say this food knocked my socks off! it was delicious the service was amazing for how busy they were. Only negative is there isn't much seating and it's always packed so good luck on finding a table.
I ordered the Dave's #1: one medium tender, one hot tender. First thing you notice besides the nice location with ample amounts of seating and unique design as well as the service that was surprisingly great, is the price. $14 (after tax) for two tenders and fries feels egregious, but the tenders are HUGE. They're prepared excellently, hot, fresh, perfectly cooked. I wouldn't say the price feels justified, but the portion is solid. Even though the chicken itself is great - the seasoning is the main thing to discuss. Medium: ... read more
