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.

Reviews
The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast without feeling rushed. You can tell they take pride in their food and customer experience. This is definitely one of my go-to spots for great chicken — highly recommend!
There was a moment when a homeless man outside was trying to do drugs, which felt uncomfortable, but another employee quickly and professionally asked him to leave. I really appreciated how the staff handled it.
The food came out fast, hot, and fresh. Overall, great service and a great experience. We’ll definitely be back!
I ordered two tenders and fries. The tenders were very juicy and flavorful. I got the medium was just the right amount of spice.
I’d definitely come back again and try their other menu items. Parking can be very difficult because of the busy area, so walking there is recommended. The interior was very elaborate and very artful.
Also, the service was awesome!
Recently, I visited a location where a guy named Josue was at the register. He was warm, welcoming, and took great care of me, making sure I had everything I needed. He even tried recommending items to me, but I let him know that I’m a regular at Dave’s Hot Chicken, just not at this particular location. However, the hospitality was excellent, and the taste was just as amazing as at every other Dave’s Hot Chicken I’ve been to.
Overall, this place serves the best of the best food! The service is incredibly fast—just wow!
Fries well done: perfect amount of crispy for me! Love a properly done crinkle cut fry and this hit the spot. Went well with Dave’s sauce and ketchup.
Staff were nice and they paced the line well. Food came out relatively fast for the size of the crowd.
