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 op... read more

I have heard so many good things about this place! I've tried the location in Fountain Valley and was expecting the same type of service and that didn't turn out well. After placing my order online, the sandwiches were ready and they smelled great. I ordered extra sauce and Kale Slaw on the side but didn't check before leaving and come to find out, the restaurant failed to provide everything I ordered. Sadly, I don't live close by this location and was not willing to driving thirty minutes for some sauce and slaw. I would h... read more

Are used to come here all the time before I went on tour, Great late night spot to eat. But I came there because of the cheese fries. And now they no longer have The same cheese sauce now they just melt a slice of American cheese on your fries. Gross... Lost the good cheese, Lost a customer.

Ordered 2 tender combo with an extra tender for 17 dollars and the tenders were so small. I also ordered it hot, but it tasted like it was mild. I've gone to Dave's on western plenty of times and never had an issue with my order there. First time here wasn't good, but I decided to give it a second try since it's close by and guess what? It was still bad. If you want Dave's, go to western or a different Nashville chicken location.

The chicken strips I had seemed old and they were not good at all. I really expected more from this place because I heard so many people hyping it up. I feel like it was a nasty version on Raising Canes.

Ordered many times through postmates. I ordered extra packets of daves sauce and honey packets. For the past couple orders, never got extra sauce or honey packets at all. Check your order properly. Very disappointing.

They forgot to give me utensils and this isn't the first time that happened. Look I know times are rough and they're trying to save money but not intentionally giving utensils like that is very cheap of them. Definitely won't be ordering from them again.

This is an update to a review I wrote almost a year and a half ago. I used to be a huge fan and advocate for Dave's, but I'm greatly disappointed by how far they've downgraded over these couple months. I'm assuming ever since they began going corporate and opening more chain restaurants, the overall quality of everything has gone down. What is most notable is 1) The demise of the Dave's Sauce and 2) The decrease in portion sizes. The Dave's sauce used to be an amazing add-on to the tenders and sliders, but now they come in p... read more

Update: would recommend just going to a different location if possible. Since I stopped ordering from this location I've enjoyed Dave's way more. Same great chicken but other locations have better order accuracy
