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.

I love chicken. I love heat. Put em together and you hot chicken! Came here with my bro for thr first time for both of us and we really enjoyed it. Food was great and can hang with other restaurants like cane’s. Tried the hot level but wasn’t has hot as I thought it would be, not a bad or a good thing just putting it out there from what I noticed.

This our first time at Dave’s Hot Chicken I heard that name before it originally started in East Hollywood remember a friend of mine tell there’s a great Chicken sandwich place in East Hollywood. A dream comes true now they restaurants locations over the southern California. I was tell my wife I was very curious about Dave’s Hot Chicken we saw one in the city of Rosemead. We have eaten all kind of chicken sandwich including Nashville,Korean,fusion,etc.. The Dave’s Hot Chicken location we went to in Lakewood we decided to try it out.

We usually go to this location. However, going today was a terrible idea. The restaurant was empty, no wait at Drive thru, but the food was horrible. We ordered medium tenders, and they had about 3x the normal seasoning(salt).

The night crew was very unprofessional. The cashier with the neck tattoos told me a rude slander. After I had taken my meal and didn’t have the guts to look me in the eyes as he said it. I didn’t have the time to respond to his unprofessional behavior and cowardly behavior but I do here. If you’re going to say rude slanders look them in the eye at least. My food was decent at least.

The food is excellent. This is great hot chicken, great fries and the sliders are on point. The spice is so good. Heat that goes through several stages and leaves that tingly feeling on your lips and tongue. The fries are some of the best out there, crisp coating with fresh fluffy potato inside and crinkle cut is fun. The spice powder on top is a nice touch too. Extra pickles in the box is always welcome and with the slice of bread you ha e the opportunity to build the classic Nashville Hot Chicken that you crave.

I wanted to really love this place, but I feel let down. The chicken was good and juicy- very hot tender had a lil heat. The fries were seasoned and prepared decent, but they were obviously frozen- big let down especially considering the limited menu. Prices are high- combo with drink will be $16-18

Place is good, I really like the chicken here. They did take long for my order, I had to wait for 30min. I placed another order to go which was 1 chicken sandwich for my daughter but when I got home and opened it, it was the wrong item. They gave me 1 chicken tender, I was disappointed because I did have to wait again for 30min for my to go order. I understand that they just opened this place so there still learning but hope next time my order is correct and that I don’t have to wait as long.

First time here. Came almost at mid-night. Young man on the counter had a great attitude and customer service. Didn’t catch his name, but he looks like a young version of 50 Cent.

Too expensive for a fast food spots. $8 for one sandwich that took a while and they still got the order a bit wrong. The chicken was a little fatty but i guess it’s good to try out once but i’m never coming back. There’s much better places to go

My go to spot for a spicy chicken sandwich. Perfect combination of spicy and crispy. Love how they have a spice level suitable for all taste buds. Fries and Mac and Cheese are my sons favorite. Well trained staff that gets my order made quickly and always on point! Love me some Dave’s Hot Chicken!
