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.

Even though the wait was super long, Lisa was very kind and courteous with updating everyone in the restaurant with time remaining on their orders. Chicken was good. Dave's sauce mixed with honey was delicious. Thanks for the recommendation Lisa!! The pickles were my fav.

The food was so hot and crusty, just the way I love it! One of the staff members, named Lisa, is very sweet. She made sure that I had all my utensils and recommended me to try the honey with the Dave's sauce! The service here is amazing. I came from LA and it's nice to see great service out here

One of my favorite spots in San Diego - Dave's has the best fried chicken I've ever tried. The chicken is good quality and juicy, with more chicken than just fried crust like many other places. The spiciness levels allow you to choose your pain - I recommend medium or even hot if you can handle it! The seasoning can't be beat and the sauce that comes with it might just be the best part. My go to order is the tenders with French fries. Be prepared for quite a wait if you're going late night because the place is packed!
