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

Dave's not chicken cauliflower slider was bomb surprisingly.. my expectations were very low I will for sure be back for that again . Killer fries as well . Only downside was takes a bit to get the food and the kid messed up the order gave me chicken I had a feeling so I checked then had to wait another 15 min . If I would have made it back to Palm Springs and found chicken I would have flipped my lid . Next time they should offer a free drink or something when they make a mistake like that time is money . But in the end the ... read more

At this point, I'd call myself a regular here. This Daves hot chicken Location is probably one of the best! Super consistent service every time, and our food comes out, reasonably fast for being freshly made. I love that they have the kiosk where we can sit in order on the touchscreen. Like any Dave's hot chicken it's a very casual joint filled with a unique Grafiti style mural in the dining room, as well as in the restroom. Speaking of restrooms they are very clean and stocked. No mirrors here but not a big deal, you're her... read more

Walked in to a very clean dining area. Ordered my food on the kiosk, which was easy. Went to the bathroom to wash my hands, and the bathroom was clean and had some type of deodorizer that smelled pleasant. My food was made within 10 minutes. -Gabriel (Gabby) introduced herself when I was coming to get my food and asked me if I needed any condiments. She was very kind and asked if I needed anything else. This kind of customer service always deserves recognition because this will keep me coming to Dave's chicken. Not to ment... read more

I was very surprised with the quality of food here. I assumed it would be just another fast food chicken strip, but it exceeded my expectations greatly! My only complaint is that the spice levels seem to be a bit exaggerated. I got the hot and it wasn't hot at all. Staff were very friendly so that's a big plus! I'll be back! 

Business response:

Jason: Glad we exceeded your expectations, Jason! We hear you on the spice level—next time, maybe give extra hot a try! Appreciate the kind words about our team, and we hope to see you back soon!
