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.

Listen… I walked into Dave’s Hot Chicken as a normal human being. I walked out a changed man — spiritually, emotionally, and slightly dehydrated from sweating through my shirt like I just finished basic training.
I ordered the medium because I thought I was tough. First bite? Flavor slapped me across the face like it had been waiting its whole life to humble me. Second bite? I saw my ancestors. Third bite? I became one with the universe. By the fourth bite I was bargaining with God but also refusing to stop eating because it was THAT good.
The chicken was so juicy it should be illegal. The seasoning? NASA could use it to launch rockets. And that Dave’s sauce? Bro… if I could legally marry a condiment, I’d be printing invitations right now.
The staff treated me like royalty — royalty that was definitely about to sweat through their shirt and cry in the parking lot — but royalty nonetheless.
By the end, I wasn’t eating food… the food was eating me. And honestly? I would let it again.
10/10. Would scorch my soul for this chicken every day of the week.
If you haven’t been yet, go. Just bring napkins, water, and possibly a therapist.

I come here every so often. But every time I have come, I have had phenomenal customer service in a food is always divine and delicious. I normally get the hot and a medium. I also dirty up my fries. You cannot go wrong with anything you order from here

Great chicken and fries. If you you like spicy, this place has options for you. I find the extra Hot and reaper to be very spicy but not as tasty. Tenders are very large. A single with fries is a good meal.

My husband and I come to Dave’s Hot Chicken pretty often. My husband usually orders the #2 and his food is almost always spot on, which is honestly the main reason we keep coming back.
Unfortunately I’ve had repeated issues with the loaded mac and cheese. The first time we ordered it, they substituted cauliflower for the chicken. No offense to anyone who likes cauliflower, but it tasted like straight dirt to me and definitely wasn’t what we ordered. It was a to-go order and the restaurant wasn’t busy, so my husband called and they refunded the whole meal, which we appreciated. Mistakes happen and they handled that part well.
The second time was more frustrating. I went in on a Friday night, which I understand is busy, but the experience still wasn’t great. I noticed the mozzarella sticks on the menu and simply asked if they were a limited-time item because they looked good and I might want to try them in the future. The cashier seemed pretty dismissive and belittling about the question, which was unnecessary.
I also clearly asked for NO heat or buffalo sauce on my mac and cheese because I really can’t handle spice. The cashier acknowledged it, and the stickers were even on the box saying no heat or buffalo… yet it still came out spicy anyway. On top of that, the chicken that was added to the mac and cheese was literally almost all breading — it looked like the very end of the bowl where all the leftover crunchy bits end up, with barely any actual chicken.
After this happened, I went to the Dave’s Hot Chicken website and left a comment about the experience. Someone actually did reach out and texted me once. I replied to them, but I’ve never heard anything back since.
At this point it’s frustrating because my husband’s food is consistently good, but my orders seem to keep getting messed up. I’m not someone who complains often, but after multiple issues and no follow-up after reaching out through the website, it feels like the concerns just kind of went nowhere.

First off let me say their hottest flavor is, well, … it made me sweat so acid-y my face turned numb lol I tried it last month.. I would recommend just hot.. extra hots almost too much but they are great flavors.. Dave’s rules over most of the competitions chicken sandwich, I think.

I loved the art on the walls, the service was alright nothing to complain about there. The food was alright, it was spicy for sure but it just tasted like someone dropped and entire bottle of paprika on the chicken tender and fried it. The meat itself was kinda chewy so i didnt even end up finishing the 2 PC I got and only had half of one and then had the fries. They give you one little thing of sauce thats not filled to the top so idk it was pretty mid. Loved the art tho

Really great food and atmosphere. Everyone was so helpful and kind! We got the Dave’s 40 bites, mac n cheese, and the cheese fries. Everything was absolutely delicious! My kids devoured it!

I love this place! On the rare occasion I eat “fast food” this is my number one choice. You can’t beat the price for the amount of food you get and the freshness of the ingredients. My go to is the slider and add honey. Sooo yummy. Sometimes there can be a little wait, but it’s always worth it. And they don’t charge for extra sauce!

Been siting here for 30 minutes and still waiting for food so not sure how it tastes. Got a shake that was delicious but wouldn’t recommend coming here if you are hungry you will die of starvation. We had to clean our table off also. Won’t be coming back.

Massive tenders. I got the “Hot” level and it had a kick. So much flavor too, unlike Canes…Sauce was good and pricing isn’t bad for the amount of food. I wish they had another option instead of the bread. We ordered 5 of the #1 combos and service was fast and friendly.
