About Dave's Hot Chicken

Louisiana style spicy hot fried Chicken. Parking lot sensations now serving at a brick and mortar in Los Angeles. 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.

Delicious fried chicken in a fast casual setting in a nice, walkable part of town. Would recommend.

Some of the best chicken I have ever had. Sandwiches are my favorite. Usually great service. They post a halal certification document on their window next to the front door and behind the counter. Highly recommend.
