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

Clean restaurant, looks to be fairly new. Warm greeting from the register as you go in, the employees seemed well trained as they said the same thing and pushed for a corporate review on the bottom of the receipt. Hot is definitely hot, I suspect pepper extract is used. Fries cooked perfectly, lightly seasoned looks like. Pickles were a nice touch. Chicken was moist, I assume they brine. Would be nice to see a "sweet heat" option or fried pickles.
The good - excellent fries. The sliders are good with the slaw. Good fry on the chicken. Great service. Clean and cool atmosphere. Could be better - the prices are a bit high. The drink cups are very small for the price. The only heat level Of chicken that has good flavor is hot and above. Overall the food is good and the service is great. Few small things would make this 5 stars. I'm sure we will go back.
The staff was phenomenal! Super helpful in explaining the menu, cleaned the dining room after every guest left their table. Chicken was delicious, if you don't like spice too much- GET THE HOT. I got 1 hot, 1 mild sandwich, and im a wuss when it comes to spice, and the hot sandwich was so good! My friend had the cauliflower spicy sandwich, and she also thoroughly enjoyed it. A good option for vegetarians! Fries came out hot and Crispy, and they gave us plenty of extra sauce packets and Napkins. All in all, the best part of t... read more
Dave’s Hot Chicken in Fairfax (Main Street) is consistently excellent. I’ve been three times now, and every visit has impressed me. The team members—friendly, professional, and always courteous—really elevate the experience. The chicken is moist and packed with flavor, with just the right kick of spice. Fries are crispy and perfectly portioned. Great food, great vibe, great crew. I’ll definitely be back.
Chicken here was 100% juicy, this place just recently opened from what I’ve seen and heard , I always wanted to eat at Dave’s hot chicken, now I no longer need to travel/ drive. 10/10 would eat here and also would take food here to go
