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... More

The food was finger licking.Good and the atmosphere is cool and the atmosphere was cool.Great music playing in the background.And the sauce was awesome Mack even recommended that we add honey to our food to add a little bit of sweetness.

The food was exceptional, and the lady at the front desk who took my order was outstanding—very friendly, professional, and a great asset to any business. The food arrived in less than three minutes, the facility was spotless, and everything tasted absolutely delicious.

We visited Dave’s Hot Chicken on a cold day and were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome we received. There were no other customers at the time, so we were served quickly and efficiently. The staff was incredibly friendly, especially the person who took my order—she was very helpful in guiding us to the right portions for our kids. We tried the #1 (mild) for the kids with a mac & cheese substitute for the fries, and #3 hot for my husband and I. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, and the mac & cheese was just the right texture—not too dry. Everything tasted fantastic! We were lucky to catch it during a quiet time, as it’s usually packed. Overall, the service was exceptional, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this spot!

Delicious food. Excellent service. Cool and clean restaurant. The Not Chicken was PHENOMENAL. Will definitely return.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Alli Pop · Jan 2026

First time here but the service was stellar! They were so friendly, helpful and patient. The food was very tasty and fresh. Decor was cute, Philly/football/street art. The portion sizes were well worth the cost, I had a slider with kaleslaw, it was the biggest tender I have ever seen! We also had strawberry lemonade slushies and a strawberry shake which were the perfect pairing for the spicy yet somehow slightly sweet chicken. We will definitely be going back! Also it is worth noting they do offer several spice levels including a no spice option.
