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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

Awesome crew that work their butts off to make excellent food. I come here every Saturday night after hitting the bars. I can say confidently that eating this sandwich is the highlight of my night. That's how good they are.

parking: street parking location: right next to pb boba bar & insomnia cookie what we ordered: (1) Dave's #1 (2 tenders w cheese fries; $13.49): * spice level: spicy * I can see why Dave's has such a huge following. their chicken is fresh & moist. it's coated with spices and the fries are good as well. their prices are on the pricier side for the portion size. (2) Dave's #3 (1 tender, 1 slider w mac & cheese; $12.99) * spice level: 1 mild, 1 medium * I thought the medium is perfect for someone who wants spice but no... read more

The chicken here is soo juicy and flavorful, and the french fries and pickles are the best sides. Ultimate guilty pleasure food here. The service is fast, you order at the counter, and the food comes out quickly. It's super casual. Also, the pier is the perfect distance away for walking off food babies after.

Great service and food. Pamela and Denise were awesome! The food comes out very fast but still tastes very fresh. It's also at a great location close to the beach so I will definitely be back for my next beach day!

Amazing food and services at the Dave's in PB location, thanks to Denise and Pamela! Ordered #1, #2, #3, #4 between me and my friends. We got our order within 15 minutes which was really quick! Food was fresh and hot. As well we were given plenty of extra sauces and while we were eating someone check in on us to see how we were doing! Loved my experience here will be back soon. Medium is not too spicy so if you want more of a kick I would do Hot!

My favorite chicken sandwich place so far and conveniently located on Cass in PB! I usually get medium spice and sometimes hot when I'm feeling it.
