The brand began a few years ago as a parking lot pop-up and drew lines around the block, with rave reviews by its fanatic Instagram followers.

The Ladera Heights location features graphics inspired by the founders travels abroad, and brought to life by LA-area artists. These unique, tailored designs continue the Dave Hot Chicken’s focus on offering a restaurant experience that is as unique and bold as its insanely flavorful spices.
“Dave’s Hot Chicken will blow your mind! Every Tender is hot, juicy and spicy,” says Bill Phelps, Dave’s Hot Chicken’s CEO. “Our founders started Dave’s as a parking lot pop-up restaurant in Hollywood with a portable fryer and picnic tables from their backyards just three short years ago. We are ecstatic to be opening our newest location in Ladera Heights!”
