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

Alright, the chicken was pretty good. In my opinion, a much better alternative to many other "chicken-finger and fry" chains that often lack the flavor that makes Dave's stand out. There's not many options here dish-wise, but you get to choose the degree of "hotness" you want your chicken, which is nice. Fries were tasty, slaw was good, sauce was solid, and sliders were pretty filling. Price was... reasonable. Would go back, but only real selling point here is the unique flavoring on the chicken. 

Business response:

Awww, thanks for showing some love. We are so glad that you enjoyed us and had a good experience. Would you mind reaching out to us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc to let us know how we could have made it a great one?

Ambiance: spacious fast food style fried chicken place, limited spots in the shared parking lot Service: very fast though not really patient Food: combo choices and individual orders, their spicy levels are very serious, medium would be good, spicy is very spicy Tender - **** served with sliced bread, pickles and Dave's sauce, recommend Slider - **** served with kale slaw, pickles and Dave's sauce, recommend Fries - *** average taste Price: moderate quality and decent prices, about $20~$25 per order 

Business response:

Sorry about the parking lot sitch! Seems this is one of those instances where sharing is not caring. But thanks for showing some love! If you can connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc we would love a chance to impress you even more and earn that fifth star.

I got mine delivered. The chicken tastes good, but the medium was very mild almost no spice so it's safe to order the hot. The shakes are just so so. They mix chocolate or strawberry syrup into a vanilla base, it's not really ice cream. All in all it's worth it.

This place exceeds expectations. I got a lot more food than I thought I would. My only complaint is that my chicken was a little too salty. Not bad just a little too my much. I will definitely be back.

I prefer Gus's fried chicken Dave's chicken has a strong curry like taste that I didn't expect or like.

Actually, this is one of the better hot chicken places popping up all over California. Food was served fairly fast, parking can be tricky, and be prepared for a possible line.
