Social Profile:

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 overall experience.
Food was tasty with a good portion, I had the tender and sandwich. Sandwich was a bit better in my opinion.
Russel took good care of us.

I had tried Dave’s Hot Chicken over a year ago at a different location and, to be honest, I wasn’t impressed. The food then felt rushed, and the experience didn’t live up to the hype. Because of that, I hadn’t been back since—until today. And I’m glad I gave it another shot, because this visit completely changed my mind.

From the moment I walked in, the difference was clear. Even though it looked like only two employees were running the entire operation, the service didn’t skip a beat. They were both friendly, efficient, and focused, handling the front counter, food prep, and even cleaning with a great attitude. You could tell they cared about doing it right.

The food this time was on point. I got the hot chicken slider and fries, and everything was cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy inside with that crispy, flavorful crust Dave’s is known for when done right. The spice level was just right—not just heat for the sake of it, but actual flavor. The fries were fresh, not greasy or soggy, and the portions were generous.

Today’s experience made me a believer in Dave’s Hot Chicken. Great food, great staff, and a totally different feel from my last visit. I’ll definitely be back.

Food was delicious. I ordered take out. I didn’t get my whole order, however. I did not check my bags. Once I got home I saw that my order was not placed in the bag. The rest of my family ate theirs. I live in Joshua Tree so I was not going to drive the hr back. I was disappointed but my family enjoyed the food. At least I had a pebbles shake while waiting for the order.

Food was delicious! Service was exceptional! Place was super slow. There was only like 1-2 other people and my food took a while to come out. On a lunch break at a “fast food” place, it made it hard to get in and out quickly. However I’d rather wait than have bad food and bad service so all good! I’d give 5 stars cuz im not there for the wait.

Dave’s Hot Chicken is unreal. Crispy, juicy tenders with bold seasoning and real heat that never kills the flavor. Portions are huge, sides are on point, and the vibe is always buzzing. If you love spicy chicken that actually delivers, this place is a must. 10/10.

The chicken was bomb, Russell was very helpful and attentive . Good company. Clean environment. Great atmosphere. Only downside the chairs are in the most comfortable, but everything else makes up for it

Pretty good chicken, interesting atmosphere.

Had the Top Loaded Fries Fries piled high with cheese sauce, pickles, kale slaw and topped with 6 Dave’s Bites (medium) and drizzle of Dave’s sauce, (had mine without the slaw and pickles, still good). The chicken was tender, the spice I’ll get hotter than mild next time. The fries were good, could be better without the season salt added, since the chicken already has a seasoning on it, but still tasty. I also had the orange cream slushie (drinkable “dreamsicle ice cream”), delicious!!

The atmosphere is very interesting. From the crazy looking rubber chicken-headon a man’s body in a hot spring, to the one in a Palm Springs tram.

The service was fast and friendly, shout out to Merari!!

My first time eating here and I must say I’m hooked. I accidentally tried the flavor and was blown away lol. The chicken here is so fresh and juicy. The size of the chicken had me flabbergasted because I’m not used to seeing such large portions. This place is a 10/10.
