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.

I use to really like Dave's but now it's whatever to me. I always get the sliders and tender with a side of Mac n cheese. The chicken is nicely cooked but lacks flavor. I'm not a huge fan of the fries. Mac n cheese is good but I wish there was a choice where you can bake them. Overall, it's hit or miss for me but I still enjoy eating at Dave's.
Went in a little before they were closing I work late otherwise I wouldn't go somewhere right before closing, but the guys up front Leonardo and Emiliano both were super positive and helpful and made sure I felt taken care of. I come to this Dave's a lot and it's nice to see good dudes working here. The food always hits and the Mac n cheese is top tier!
The service and food is great at the Pacific Beach location! Hector is very kind and friendly and always gives the best service. I highly recommend coming here!
Dave's Hot Chicken has been on my list for a min so glad I finally tried it. I don't eat meat so thought it was cool they had a cauliflower option. The crispiness and flavor were there but I got mild and should've gone for medium so the extra spice would've made it better. The sandwich size was pretty small for the price so I recommend getting their 2 sliders deal if you're super hungry or getting tenders on the side.
Brought my son Dragon here to get sum late nite grub. 10pm and the line was still outside the door! We waited about 20 mins and ended up eating our food in the car cuz we couldn't wait to get back to the tellie :) It was bomb. Had I known I woulda got watevers the hottest of hot was cuz the hot was just aiiite. But it was cool to experience it even tho we got one in Georgia that I still haven't been to.
Great service, super knowledgeable, Destiny and Angelo were very helpful. Food was quick and everything tasted great.
