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

Overall the food was ok for a fast food chicken spot but to charge 15 dollars for 2 tenders and barely any fries is a disservice.

Consistently great fried chicken sandwiches! I usually order the sandwich with medium heat and fries. The slaw balances out the heat a bit so if you want a little extra kick, go for the "hot". The dipping sauce is also amazing with the fries but I also dip the sandwich in for some extra flavor. My go-to hot chicken spot in LA!

Very nice customer service by the employees. The food was not bad kind of bland and could use more flavor. The reaper is not spicy at all as well, but overall pretty good to try

Yes, yes, a hundred times yes!! Came around 9:30pm i think and there was no line or anything, but it was my first time. Got the #1 tenders with mild seasoning, and ive never had juicy tenders like this. SO soft on the inside, and crispy outer coating. The mild seasoning was not spicy at all for me, so i would definitely get maybe 2 levels higher next time. The pickles were a good amount too, with around 4 pieces. I think this is a perfect place for a quick and quality meal!

We stopped by Dave's for free sliders in honor of Drake's birthday. I'm not the best with spice and found the mild to be perfectly seasoned and not spicy at all. I probably could have upped the spice a bit. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are filling. There was plenty of outdoor seating, and the food was ready quickly. They have a separate pickup window for food delivery services, so that doesn't interfere with the folks who are ordering in person.

First of all let start off by saying that personally the staff is great!The employee at the register was very welcoming with fun energy. I live here in LA but the first time I had DHC was a couple of weeks ago in Oklahoma City. The food, the service, the location was FIRE . It was so good I went back the next night and it was just as good.So when I got back to LA I kept hyping up DHC to my GF and my daughter. That was a mistake. We got our food in togo containers when we ordered dine in and I did a review for a free shake. ... read more

I'd give 3 and a half of I can. But 4 is fair. I had a really good experience at other Dave's locations. Like most chain restaurants, location can play a roll. I was working late in the area. So I came here. Btw, thanks Dave, for being an open late kind of place. So I ordered the #2. But it was very basic. Very, very basic. I wasn't "Wow'd" like I have been before. Tenders are a decent size. Price is fair. My slider was dry. Bland bread and their slaw wasn't as saucy and crunchy as I remembered. Seasoning is perfect. So ... read more
