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.

Great Place, good flavors, great food, Clean place, Had a great experience and not a fan of spicy food so I recommend the Mild spice. The Mac and Cheese was soooo good and added it to my fries Fat boy status. Chicken was tender and I appreciate the Staff. And Affordable for all!

Not the best hot chicken I have had, little over seasoned but overall wasn’t too bad. Owner needs to add ranch to the order list.. would have likely been way better with it lol

Employee Martha helped me out today, super friendly and helpful. Service was great and the establishment was clean and organized. Atmosphere was quiet at the time I went in, and had a mix of tunes playing in the background. Overall, satisfied with the experience

It was late at night and several places we tried weren’t open…and lo and behold we drove past Dave ‘s and it was popping! The staff was fabulous at explaining the menu to us first timers and the food was amazing. My 4 year old loves the Mac n cheese and the medium chicken was the perfect amount of spice. Sadly no franchises exist around my hometown, but I still dream about the amazing food at Dave’s!

Now when I say Dave’s Hot Chicken is amazing….I mean it! I am a fan. My go to place to eat when I’m on the road to California is Dave’s. It’s a ton of food, reasonably priced and spicy!!

My partner and I wanted some lunch since we went on an adventure that went sour, but that’s another story.

Outstanding chicken, spiced to your liking, and served on a bun, bread, or just plain. I’m a fan of the Extra and Reaper, but any of the options are good choices. The Kale slaw is decent, but not for everyone, and the great thing is they are always willing to make the order to your wishes. I’d also recommend getting some honey to put on the chicken. It completes the experience.

Food looks amazing. Good spice kick. Tasty chicken..yet cheese on the slider was very “Velveeta” in taste. Sadly, they “ran out of beer” a day ago. It would have been a good compliment to the meal. Better ordering and planning on their side would help this, hence the lower review.

I was interested in this place as I saw one of these in upland CA, and did not have a chance. I have to say that the chicken is absolutely delicious the hot is tasty the extra hot leaves you coming back for more. The sausage they serve with it are good and the french fries are really good as well. Fast and friendly service and the artwork is pretty cool in the restaurant. $10.99 for a two-piece combo seemed like a lot but it is more than enough for a lunch time meal and you could probably share it.
