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

I was brought here by my 9-year old who was begging to try the "bestest fried chicken, it's better than Cane's!" We recently moved here from KY and we need a new chicken place. I got the #1, extra hot. And wow! The flavor, heat, and crunch of the tenders and Dave's sauce - DELICIOUS! The fries were perfectly seasoned and came out fresh. No mushy fries, I appreciate that so much. The only thing to take note of is the longer than normal wait. Our order took 30 minutes to come out, but it appears they were minimally s... read more

This was our first time ever eating here. My husband & i came here on 6 APR with our 2 small kids, & the power unfortunately went out due to severe thunderstorm & only received one order for a minute, however, one of the employees offered our daughter a slushee & my husband a milkshake free of charge for the inconvenience. I'm not a fan of the food personally, it is as advertised, & there was nothing wrong with it, BUT the customer service is hands downs some of the best we've received in the last few years.

The hot chicken was awesome. There was a long line but service was overall good. That Mac and cheese is a crime though. They should be ashamed to sell that mess. Even KFC does it better. It was some overpriced, unseasoned, plain-as noodle stuff they sold us for like 6$. Grab the chicken from here but don't waste money on the Mac and cheese. They need to fix that 

Business response:

If you haven't tried Dave's Chicken yet, you're seriously missing out! The chicken is crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor--whether you go for mild or full heat. The sides are just as good, and the service is always on point. If you love great chicken, this is the spot to hit! Highly recommend! 

Business response:

People like you are what keep us going. We appreciate the love and support. Hope to have you back soon!

Fries were pretty good but not worth the hype everyone put on it. The line and wait was not too bad but you will wait even if there is no one barely there. It is not an actual sauce on the chicken more like a powder seasoning. I wasn't a fan but may try again when they aren't so new to the area 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc?

I've tried Dave's before in the Virginia area and wasn't impressed. I decided to give it another try. I was on my way out of Columbus, Ga with family and we stopped for a bite. I live in Columbus. Dave's had been open in Columbus for several months but I had not been yet. This time I decided to try the bites. I had the tenders before. I skipped the heat altogether and I don't regret it. The bites actually had flavor, the seasoning was good. The workers were very helpful, i would say happy to be there. It was awes... read more
