Part of the Dave's Hot Chicken chain — see all 170 locationsLouisiana 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.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. About Dave's halal status: 'While halal chicken is slightly more expensive - roughly 10 cents more per pound for Dave's - the founders feel both the flavor and the opportunity to reach a wider market, halal diners, is more than worth the cost.'

I tried the reaper chicken that you have to be over 18 and sign a waiver to eat! It was ridiculously hot, unfortunately I couldn't finish it! I did get other food which was pretty decent! The service was quite chaotic and loud, but that may have been because it's not long been open and was quite busy! The decor is modern and looks really good! I was really looking forward to the Lucky Charms milk shake, which was slighlty disappointing as it was just an average vanilla milk shake with Lucky Charms on top! Overall I thought it was decent, but there are definitely better chicken places out there! Worth a try though!
