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.
Based on 266 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.6 stars. Price $$

I was a big fan since the store has been opened ! But I noticed the food quality is changed. It used to be more crispy and tinder inside. Looks like they got the chiken from Walmart and just hit it up in microwave!

Second time trying this place and it’s becoming one of my favorite fast food places. The food is great and I love that I can choose the spice level. If you get Dave’s #2 you can choose different spice levels for each which works out great if you plan to share with your kids or simply if you want to try different spice levels. Another big plus is that the spiciness is actually spicy, I am used to eating spicy food and usually when I go to restaurants their spicy food is not really spicy in my opion but Dave’s Hot Chicken definitely delivers. Definitely recommend anyone that wants good food to give this place a try.

Delicious as always! Another great Dave’s Hot Chicken location. The bathrooms were clean, and the employees disinfected tables after customers left. The food was so yummy, I couldn’t stop eating. I demolished everything in that tray!! 10/10 would come again

This is my first time in Dave’s hot chicken eatery. It’s cute and cozy. The menu is beyond simple: only 3 choices: #1. Tenders with fries, #2. Sliders with fries, and #3. One tender, one slider with fries. You can choose from seven heat levels: reaper, extra hot, hot, medium, mild, lemon pepper, and no spicy , Lisly was a great help. They advised me to try no. 3 with mix spices: one hot, the other lemon pepper. It was delicious

I have been wanting to come to this place to try out their food and the levels of spicy. Finally tonight my wife I stopped by. The ambiance is really vibrant and artsy. We ordered combo #3. Slider w/ a chicken tender, chicken sandwich coleslaw and seasoned fries; spicy level Hot. The food was great. Chicken tenders were juicy. The level of spicy was very tolerable. Overall the food was delicious. Almost forgot to mention we ended our meal with a strawberry shake. Yummy. We have finally found an alternative to KFC. Wifey loved it so much that she might dump 3 of her favorite fast food restaurants for this one. My wife did not get heartburn after her meal. Service was good. Food came out fast and hot a couple of minutes after placing the order. Helps that they are open late nights. Definitely going back.

If you are expecting a very crispy chicken sandwich then you will be sadly disappointed. On the bright side it is still a good quality piece of chicken, a bit on the salty side as well. For 25$ Pick up for 2, i will definitely be back. 1 tender and 1 slider combo

Had two sliders (mild), and one slider and one chicken tender (spicy). One order of normal fries and one order of cheesy fries. All very good fast food, make sure to pour the sauce on the burgers and use it as dipping for the fries!

The food was pretty good, first time here. The chicken sandwich for 2 were pretty small. However, after eating a snack after the food, it made my hunger go away.

Tasty food, clean place, Friendly staff. Valeria, the manager I believe, helped us order since it was our first time there. She was very patient with my kids and pleasant to talk to. Definitely recommend, will be going back!
