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

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
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
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
When I tell you I wasn't disappointed at all the tenders was huge and very well seasoned I choose (Hot) the fries are season as well be careful with your choice of sauce on your tenders cause Hot was hot, very nice Dave will be back with more people
Fast ordering on a busy Tuesday night. Customer service was greeted with a smile and sweet service on top of that Inside is really clean and enough seating for daily or individual eating Menu is basic but it's enough food for a regular eater like myself but if you eat you might have to order another tender. Mac n cheese is soft and creamy but pretty good for my taste. The tender are crispy and juicy (way better than raising canes) Even the sauce was better in my opinion or you can use real honey that they have also Milkshak... read more
Busy spot at 7:30. Lines move quick. Menu nice a simple chicken tenders or chicken sliders, fries or Mac and cheese. Chicken lightly dusted with spice, very little salt, which I love!!! Fresh. Fries ok, too salty for me, next time I will ask for no salt. Environment open with graffiti type artwork. Free parking!
