10 Best restaurants for Fried Chicken in Los Angeles

The Red Chickz - Culver City

Totally impressed with my visit here. The chicken tenders were juicy and packed with rich flavor. The blaze seasoning had a lively kick that matched my usual spice comfort level without overwhelming anything. The team working here is cheerful and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Tasty food, great people and a spot worth visiting again.

At The Red Chickz, they offer a great selection of food and spice levels. We had the Honey Butter Sandwich and Cauliflower Bites with “Spark” spice level. The heat was real, but the flavor was amazing. The service was fast and friendly, and the overall vibe was casual and fun. We ate outside in the evening — it was a bit breezy, but totally worth it for the food.

That place and service was absolutely amazing the chicken sandwich with a honey butter was off the charts best chicken sandwich I ever had. The shrimp the macaroni and cheese the waffles the chicken strips are the best I've ever had. If you guys ever drive by make sure you stop and get their food you won't be disappointed 10 Stars

The food is excellent!! Just two guys running in but they bring such great customer service and definitely recommend 20/10 to anyone in the Venice beach/ LA area to try it out!
The chicken is super crispy and nice and spicy and you can choose your spice level which is awesome. The Mac and cheese is super creamy and cheesy and the wedges are amazingly crispy. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

The Red Chickz in Culver City. Pretty good. In my opinion, the breading could use some flavor, but it's crunchy as hell. Definitely a good coating.

The mild is nothing special in terms of heat. The medium is mild, and that's not me bragging. I do my best to assure people who don't like anything too hot what heat levels are really like.  I don't like to see people suffer.  I chose not to go hot this time, as I like to taste the food before I add heat to it, unless the place is specifically known for spicy food.

M-F they have a lunch special from 11-3PM. $9.99 for a sandwich and a side, or two tenders and a side (Normally $13.50).

On Thursdays, they have a special, also.  $2.00 per tender. These tenders are LARGE. Definitely worth the price.

I got the original chicken sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. The sandwich is a single (but large) tender on a bun, topped with their signature comeback sauce, pickles, and some colesaw.  The side of Mac  and cheese is super cheesy and quite filling for a side. I also got two tenders, one mild and one medium. (Read above what I thought of those if you forgot.)

All in all, I recommend this place at least once. Their "Comeback" sauce is tasty, and a good addition to the chicken, considering the lack of any seasoning in the breading. I've been here twice, now, and I'd visit again. The chicken is really tender.

I'll probably try their French Toast sandwich next time. It's basically the Original, except that, instead of a bun, it comes on french toast, minus the comeback sauce.

I got the sandwich and side for lunch and the two tenders for later. Good stuff.

The place is VERY small, with a little counter space, two tables inside, and a few outside tables. Their parking lot is decent but can fill up very quickly, and the space is tight, so smaller vehicles are better off your going into their lot. There's some street parking, too.

If it's busy, expect to wait at least ten minutes for them to fill your order, as a lot of people are walking in the door to order, as well as people ordering online to pick up their food. They don't do orders by size of the order, they do it in the order it came in, so dont expect to get your order quicker if you only ordered one tender.

The last time I came, I ate in with a friend, qw both ordered a couple of tenders (I ordered three, which were one too many, but I brought the last one home and ate it the next day), with sides of potato wedges, cheese curds, breaded pickle chips, and cauliflower bites. I'd say the cauliflower was the best of the four, with the curds, pickles chips and wedges following in order of most favorote to least.  All were good with neither of the last three being bad in any way, but the cauliflower was the best in my opinion.

If I had one complaint, it's that I paid an extra dollar for cheese on the sandwich and I didn't get it.  I took the order home, so I didn't notice until I got back and opened the box, and it was further than I wanted to drive back for them to fix it.

It's a minor complaint, but, considering I did pay for the cheese, it would have been nice to get it. It may have just been how busy they were, but that's their job, so I took off one start for that alone. It's the only thing that wasn't perfect about the experience.

Still, once again,  a great spot.

The Red Chickz

First time eating here and wanted to get a taste of the heat so we asked if we can get a little sample of xhot‐(blaze). The chef gave us a whole tender and some wedges. It was spicy just what we were craving. Anthony was super cool and friendly. He made sure our first experience was top tier. The food was flavorful. The chicken is juicy. The wedges are crispy. Definitely a good go to from now on.

Honestlty, we were craving something spicy hot. We came across this spot on Google and we decided to try it. We asked if we could try out the heat level blaze and expecting a little piece, but they went above and beyond since they noticed this was our first time here. They gave us 1 full tender with 3 wedges. Shoutout to the chef and the guy in the front super awesome customer service. This was an awesome experience especially for a Friday lol I felt the need to leave a review of how dope this place is. If they sample was amazing I can't wait for the rest of our order. If you love spicy food, try this place out. ALSO, would like to include they have cauliflower option in case you don't eat meat.

The food was 10/10…from the chicken to the sides, all was excellent!  And the customer service was just as good!  Anthony was very inviting and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions when trying to make a decision on the menu!
We will be back when visiting LA!

Came here for their $2 chicken tenders on Thursdays. The chicken was juicy, big, and crunchy. I got one in medium spice and hot. The medium wasn’t really spicy but the hot one kinda was.
The sauce that came with the tenders tasted like any other comeback sauce but with a sour cream base.
I also got their French toast. It was really good. Perfectly sweet and soft with crispy edges.
Service was quick and efficient.
4 tenders: $8
French toast: $6

It is a great place for lunch during the day. I've never been for dinner but I've also only have done takeout. They have a couple seats but not very many. It gets crowded so it's best just to stand and pick up your food and leave. The staff is very helpful and hard-working.

Dave's Hot Chicken

I love it !! Been coming to this location for a while now and it’s always a great time! Today especially, Esmeralda, reassured that our experience was exceptional by providing great customer service! She reassured us that she was here for any help or anything else we might have needed. The food was great and very tasteful as well!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE !!!!! The atmosphere is so cool and very colorful. The chicken is so damn good. It was fresh hot. They got my order correct . There’s plenty of parking outside. This place on the food scales are 10 out of 10 you have to try them. The bathrooms are clean. The place is clean.

Idk why but this Dave's location tasted better than all the other one's I've had in the past 🔥 Everything was super fresh and tasty 🤤 The atmosphere inside and outside was very nice and it's in a great location nearby a lot of different places ❤️‍🔥They know what they're doing here 🫡

Ample parking around the restaurant and the long opening hours is great. The cauliflower bites are really nice! Chicken tenders are good and love the spices on it. The bread however is just a slice from a loaf and it’s not grilled or toasted. Other fried chicken restaurants do their bread a lot better. Would have love a bit more sauce too.

Visiting friend down the street. First time here. Esmeralda hooked it up. Explained everything to me although its a straight forward menu. I can't do spicy anymore so she recommended the "no spice". I had the number 3, sando and a tender. Fries crispy presentation CLEAN, taste was best chicken sando ever. Place is chill, super clean, and has a/c.

First time trying this place after hearing all the hype. Wow! It seriously is very delicious! I can honestly say this is the best chicken I’ve ever had it’s like no other. At first glance the menu doesn’t look very filling, but as a big eater like myself I actually got full. The chicken is perfect it tasted like it came right off a southern bbq grill. The Dave’s sauce is very good too & goes well with the chicken. Fries are a must with ketchup but very savory too. If you’re craving chicken I highly recommend this place you won’t be disappointed!

My chicken was hot, crispy and fresh but it was a tiny little tender. I went with the extra hot and it barely warmed my lips and faded off. I am comfortable with heat though. I'll try reaper some time.

Dominic C was super helpful and nice, give this man a raise! Haven’t even tried the food and I’ll be coming back for his excellent service.
Edit: looks delicious
Edit 2: I enjoyed the chicken, nice and crispy, delicious

Best Chicken in all of town. Extra Spicy is always a perfect blend of almost too hot and not hot enough. This location always delivers. Shout out to Johnathan. He's been working here for the longest and always has top tier customer service. Johnathan for manager. Dave's Hot Chicken for the trophy 🏆 Enjoy.

I tried tenders extra hot, one below the Reaper. Not to spicy to eat, no sweat. But after a while after having finished the meal, my lips are burning and also some burn in my throat:-) all good.

No spice is not so tasty.

The best location and customers service I’ve come across through all locations I’ve visited. Repeated low quality food and service at the northridge  branch made us stop going to Dave’s. After a long break we visited the Sherman Oaks branch and fell in love again. Great location great decor well lit,  James S. was very polite and attentive, the food was all fresh and super clean restrooms. 👍🥰

Dave’s Hot Chicken is an absolute game changer! The food was nothing short of world-class perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite was incredible. If you love bold, delicious food, this is the place to be! Highly recommend! 🔥🍗

Pick your heat level! Food and service was good! Super clean restaurant too.

The cashier and kitchen staff at this Dave’s deserve were amazing. The cashier, Atziri, was quick, friendly, and made my experience at this location seemless. The kitchen had everything out fast, fresh, and cooked perfectly. You can tell this team runs smooth and takes pride in what they do. Solid service and great food all around.

Omar is an amazing worker! Made me feel welcomed and safe. Definitely will be coming back again because of him. Omar deserves to win the lottery!

If you want the ultimate Dave’s Hot Chicken experience, you NEED to ask for Jazmin! ✨ Jazmin is the superstar supervisor at the Northridge CFG location — she runs the night shift like a proud manager-to-be and makes every customer feel like VIP. Her dedication and fantastic customer service are next-level. From start to finish, my order was fast, seamless, and flawless. She even recommended #4 or #2 with cheese (see photos) — spot on! Jazmin always listens, ensures you leave happy, and genuinely makes the experience memorable. Deserves an immediate promotion, raise, and bonus — she’s THAT good. I promise, you’ll leave thinking “I’m coming back tomorrow!” #1 @ Northridge CFG for a reason.

The foood was very good, service was super great , employees super nice. As well as the atmosphere with everyone and enjoying the meal was good

The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was amazing. Service was also very polite and the food was prepared quicker than expected.

The food was delicious! We got the medium heat spice, which was perfect for me. My son wants to try the hotter one next time. The place was very busy so that might be why none of the tables were clean and they were out of ice. But we will still be back because the chicken was that good 👍

Dave’s Hot Chicken in Northridge is easily one of the best spots in the Valley for flavorful and spicy fried chicken! I’ve been here multiple times with different groups, and every visit has been consistently great. The service is quick, the food is always fresh and delicious, and the team keeps things running smoothly even when it’s busy.

They offer a variety of spice levels and options — from mild to extra hot — along with sliders, tenders, and fries that are all perfectly seasoned. The portions are generous, and the quality is top-notch every single time.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging out with friends, Dave’s Hot Chicken Reseda is a must-visit for anyone who loves crispy, juicy, and flavorful chicken in Los Angeles’ Valley area.

The food here is really good, my first time going here and I ordered the large loaded french fries, it is certainly a lot of food and I usually eat a lot, couldn’t finish at all, which is great because nowadays portion sizes are so small. Way better than Raising Cane‘s. The flavors are great. This place is a win.

been coming to this dave’s in NoHo for years. Kinda wild thinking how it used to be one of my first lunch spots back when i was still stuck in an office job. So yeah, a little nostalgia every time i stop here.

Swung by this morning, just wanted something quick. They’ve changed stuff — now you order from a screen. it’s fine, just weird tipping a machine, you know? I don’t mind tipping people, but a terminal doesn’t bring your food or check on you.

The food though? Still solid. Got the mild and it still got that kick, the kinda heat that wakes you up. Fries on point, everything came fast, clean tray, clean spot. Restroom’s clean too, no weird smells.

paid around 16 bucks. Will i come back? maybe, yeah, but hollywood’s kinda messy. Still, dave’s is dave’s — when you crave that spicy crunch, this place always hits.

I’m about to eat this Dave’s hot chicken, this is the best place I’ve ever been, I love everything they have to offer and I love how affordable everything is. The only bad thing about this place is that it’s too addicting. I would come back everyday if I had money since the staff is great as well as the food they serve. Thank you for everything to the person who created this restaurant, I love everything you guys offer and I love this place. I love how efficient and quick the service is and I love how good the food is. (It was so good that me and my friend ate 5 meals by ourselves)
If you can, have time and wish to eat a delicious, affordable and quick meal you should come to this place.

Absolutely the best ever if u order all the sides n make a lil mix like this, delectable! Highly recommended !! They forgot my drink n idec it’s so good

Very solid chicken and fries. But I have to highlight the cashier, Kelly. Her customer service was on another level. Super friendly, welcoming, and quick — you can tell she genuinely cares about people having a great experience. She made the whole visit feel even better. I love this place even more because of her. Give that woman a raise, a promotion, and maybe even a parade. Dave’s is lucky to have her!

Would recommend, good vibes.👍🏽

I’m a professional traveler. In the last 24 days I have been in 13 different states, 2 countries, and 2 provinces. When I say this was the best food decision I have made all month, believe it. The chicken had a very special taste full of flavor. Had a crispy outside, and juicy inside. The fries were great also. Seasoned perfectly and didn’t need any ketchup. Counter staff was super friendly and food was served quickly and hot. Quiet inside, with some relaxing background music.

I rarely write reviews, but I wanted to write a good one because of the good service. Me and my friend ordered very last minute before the store closed, but the worker was very friendly and nice. We appreciated it! Also, the sandwich was sooo good. The chicken was huge! I recommend the hot spicy level if you want to taste some spice because “medium” was a little mild for me. I love their pickles and honey+ Dave’s sauce combo😍

Dave’s hot chicken is always a go-to when I want to cheat on my diet. It’s really delicious and good, specially if you ask for honey and add it on the spicy chicken.

One thing about this exact location though, is that I always order “hot” in dave’s hot chicken, but they brought me something more spicy than usual. I guess they made a mistake and it was “very hot”. Just so you know!

Wow wow wow. What an amazing place.

Delicious food! Friendly staff! And despite the zombies wandering around, it is super clean location!

100% worth trying.

I enjoy coming to Dave’s and getting hot or extra hot Sliders. However, on this occasion I tried the slider but it wasn’t hot . It was warm and below mild.

I came back to the store and the gentleman in the front was able to help get my order right.

I appreciate that they were understanding and able to correct the error.

I appreciate that This store provides Great and friendly service.

One of the best chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders restaurants in East Hollywood. The chicken is made to order served hot and fresh. Tasty and delicious. The price is right for the food quality.This  is a LA staple that you must try , hands down 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I’ve been a loyal customer since the early days when this was the first location and the lines were always long. Now that there are more stores, ordering is much quicker and more convenient.

I really enjoy the Reaper chicken definitely not for the faint of heart. If you’re going to try it, make sure you have a lot of water and get ready for the spice.

This is a great place to eat if you love spicy food and hot challenges. Highly recommended!

Place was nice!
Staff was nice!
Drinks are very nice! Strawberry lemonade!
But the food was super lack luster....not one  piece of chicken wasn't crispy enough to be called crispy.
Flavor wasn't there at all! The fries were soft!
Wasted 60+ on "alright Chicken"
Yeah not coming back this my 2nd visit thinking they do better but nah.....Dave's hot chicken is the least of the all chicken spots.

Brandon was so nice, he was really busy but he gave us 2 free drinks on the house just for our wait, they really do look after their customers. It was very much appreciated. THANK YOU Brandon!!!

Food here is amazing. I’m not gonna lie the fries and the chicken sandwich sandwiches makes no sense. How good it is. for more honest reviews and normally I have photos of travel locations in great foods and hotels around the world follow me. INSTAGRAM ANDREWKENNEDY980
