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

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!

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

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

It's fairly not new new anymore but as soon as the doors opened I was the fifth person in line. Upon entering the ambiance is nice and inviting. Tables were neat and clean as expected again they JUST opened. I got #4 but the cauliflower sandwich and I ordered the chicken bites just to say I had the chicken. Now hands down that was a delicious crispy juicy but not fully soft still has chew in the middle I don't believe the chicken sandwich hitting on that cauliflower. It comes with cheese and I added all the pickles and the D... read more

Great chicken. Very busy, the staff handled themselves quite well, especially on a Friday night. Tried the Carolina Reaper tender, it's not for the weak. It is not to be taken lightly.

My husband has eaten at a Dave's Hot Chicken in California but this was my first time. They were having some technical difficulties so the wait was long. That being said the staff gave updates and were extremely kind and professional. I have the slider in medium and it was great! The kale slaw and pickles made it perfect! Their fries were hot, well seasoned and fresh. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will be back!

I gave in! Dave's Hot Chicken!! I got extra hot and hot There wasn't much of a flavor to the chicken it just tasted hot (I'd rate 7/10) Once I put the sauce and honey like the employee suggested, it tasted better; increasing it to an 8/10. My husband got lite mild and mild. He said the lite mild didn't have that much flavor but with the sauce it was good giving them a 7.5/10. I suggest you get the sandwich and not just the tenders because they aren't that flavorful. The sauce, slaw, and pickles help increase the flavor. Frie... read more
