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

Wasn't sure what to expect, but ended up really impressed! We tried the sliders, tenders, mac and cheese, and loaded fries--and sampled all the sauces except the hottest levels. I was a little nervous it would all be Nashville-level spicy, but you can actually choose your heat, which was a nice surprise. The chicken quality was solid, and the generous amount of pickles was a huge win--they were phenomenal! The signature sauce leaned more mustardy than something like Cane's, but still paired well. Overall, I get the hype now... read more

Checked out Dave's Hot Chicken the other night; amazing food, cool vibe, and an all-around great staff. Big thanks to Ruby for being so friendly while taking our large order and making sure it got boxed up since we forgot to ask for it to go. Food was nice and fresh when we got it home and was absolutely delicious! Only complaint is that I wish I got more sauce. Pro tip: get the loaded fries

We tried Dave's Hot Chicken for dinner last night and went through the drive-thru, which ended up taking about 30 minutes. The staff was friendly and did apologize for the delay. Once we got home, everything was still fresh, and our order was accurate. I had been looking forward to trying this spot and the food was good, just not particularly memorable. I ordered the mini sliders with lite mild spice, while my husband chose medium spice for his two sliders. He was surprised by how mild the heat level was for what he ordered... read more

Food was great as always is with Daves! The workers were nice but they are sooo slow! First time I came about two weeks ago and waited in the drive through for over an hour! Decided to try again and went inside and waited nearly 45 minutes before I got my food. So disappointing :(

Just tried Dave's for the first time. The restaurant is definitely uniquely decorated, it grabs your attention right away, way different than any other fast food place. We were greeted by an employee as we walked in and we headed to the counter. It was crazy busy as they just opened this location. I wasn't sure what to expect on the menu other than spicy chicken. I was glad to see you could order your hot chicken to the spice level you desired. The kids got no spice, I tried the mild and my wife went for the medium. We order... read more

I am sooo excited to have a Dave's out west! This is my favorite chicken sandwich. My husband and I waited in line for over an hour opening night, and it was worth it! Whatever the breading on this chicken is just takes it to the next level. I love that they don't skimp on the pickles, because I'm an extra pickles girl. I also always ask for honey packets. We both had mild and hot, and neither of them were "spicy" at all. The fries are also delicious and have a great seasoning. I know people complain about the price, but I ... read more
