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

Food is good and the service is good. I have been eating at this spot for a while. Only problem i have is their quantity of fries. I wish I could get more for what I am paying for.

Their chicken is absolutely amazing. Giving 3 star because the Mac n cheese taste like the refrigerator that they were stored in.

So it was midnight and I was with a uncle an I told him i was hungry and we see dave's Hot chicken open so we went there and ask for chicken strips and when i opend the box there was pickles and the bread in the box I looked at it confused. But the chicken tasted good but a little dry I guess this place is okay

Really good. Fries were still crispy after ordering delivery and the tenders very crispy and moist chicken. Only downside is that I ordered a 2 for 1 and the second item was missing. Oh and the classic sauce was heaven.

It was good and the prices were okay but it had my bootyhole burning like a sinner in church. I've had better chicken quality though. But I would go again if I had no options.

Well. I did get Dave's chicken when he was a tent in a parking lot off Hollywood a few years ago before all hullabaloo over these sandwiches with the hot chicken poppin up all over the damn place. Yeah. Dave was on the forefront of delicious fire chicken sammies. Now he and the hype are everywhere. Good on Dave plus competition is the American way. I got the medium heat because I had to get up early the next day (you know what I'm talking about). Plus the strawberry milkshake ( i don't usually drink milk but i indulged)... read more

I really like Dave's hot chicken, the chicken is tasty and good quality and the bread is perfect however sometimes the chicken is old or served from the previous day. Their mac n cheese is not very tasty but the fries are really good. I just wish management keeps quality and freshness constant.

This place opened a little over a week ago in Sunnyvale so we were excited to try it. It wasn't crowded and we walked right up to order. It took 30 minutes to get our food after asking twice how much longer. The first woman we asked appeared to be a manager. She said we were next without checking with anyone. The had plenty of employees wiping tables and windows down, but the only two by the food window. Very disorganized! The food was good, but medium is very hot. Not sure I'll be back.
