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 best fast food I’ve had is Dave’s Hot ChickenI love it a lot! Whenever I’m in a rush, hungry, or getting takeout, this is my go-to spot. I also take all my friends here. They’re open late at night, and I absolutely love the taste. Recently, I visited a location where a guy named Josue was at the register. He was warm, welcoming, and took great care of me, making sure I had everything I needed. He even tried recommending items to me, but I let him know that I’m a regular at Dave’s Hot Chicken, just not at this particular ... read more

Slider with medium level heat: I didn't feel any heat at this level, just tasted well seasoned and the meat was juicy and tender. The bun has a good bite and tasted buttery and premium. Pickles were good, slaw was seasoned well. The extra Dave's sauce was delicious. Fries well done: perfect amount of crispy for me! Love a properly done crinkle cut fry and this hit the spot. Went well with Dave's sauce and ketchup. Staff were nice and they paced the line well. Food came out relatively fast for the size of the crowd.

I recently had the chance to eat at Dave’s Hot Chicken, and I can confidently say it's definitely worth a visit. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, and the Dave’s sauce adds a delicious kick that enhances the flavor. The bonus of free refills on drinks is a nice touch too. The only downside is that there's just one bathroom, which often leads to long lines. Other than that, it's a fantastic experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

I’ve been to other Dave’s Hot chicken spots and this is the same taste, spice, flavor. I ordered two tenders and fries. The tenders were very juicy and flavorful. I got the medium was just the right amount of spice. I’d definitely come back again and try their other menu items. Parking can be very difficult because of the busy area, so walking there is recommended. The interior was very elaborate and very artful.
