About this business

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 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.

Inside of this restaurant is pretty clean. The staffs are very friendly. I placed an order online for pickup. I went there right on time but the food was not ready. I waited about 10 minutes extra and the staff was very apologetic about it. We ordered the sliders and tenders and both were great. 

Business response:

Thanks for the feedback, Antora! We’re glad you enjoyed the sliders and tenders and appreciated the friendly staff. We’re sorry about the wait on your pickup order but are happy to hear the team handled it with care. Hope to see you back again soon!

I always enjoy a visit to any Dave's chicken. I can never get tired of this place. Best chicken sandwich in my opinion and that sauce is amazing!!!

I'm picky about my chicken sandwiches. Somehow they have been able to season the chicken just so the chicken is tender and moist and with each bite it is just heavenly. The service is OK. The ambience is relaxed casual. The parking lot can be a little tricky. The disabled parking is very close to the exit for the drive-through so that can be problematic. a lot of teenagers get lunch there so there's a lot of coming and going. It's busy. I love the chicken slider. It has some kale coleslaw and some pickles on it and some... read more

The restaurant looks new and was pretty clean. The guy at the counter was friendly. The chicken was pretty tasty, but I was hoping for more of a wet sauce as opposed to dry seasoning on the tenders. The "Dave's" sauce is good...but I don't know what these Ohio chicken joints won't serve BBQ or ranch. The pickles are great! 

Business response:

Overall, the chicken sandwich was really good. Nothing special about the chicken tender, little bit on the dry side. My order was made incorrectly, which did not bother me it happens. What bothered me was after i politely asked for it to be corrected, i received a box that was covered in sauce, spice, and grease. I asked for a napkin and had to clean the box in front of the employee. Customer service was terrible. I did not feel welcomed and it seemed like the employees did not care about their job and didn't want to be ther... read more
