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

The food was so good I convinced 4 of my coworkers to get it today and I just had to get it again even though I just had it 3 days ago. Everyone loved the food and it was even better the second time around. Still a 5-star rating IMO.

I read about this restaurant on Dallas Morning News and the hype from its origin in LA. I think its a great restaurant to eat at if you really like spicy food. I got Hot and i'm a total wimp still. My nose started to run and my eyes are tearing up. My friends who seem to be professional spicy food enthusiast laugh at my pain. From then on I ponder about getting new friends. But I digress from the review. This place on its 3rd day being opened was super packed and alot of traffic. I love how they implemented the chick... read more

Should be named Dave's different flavored chicken strips. I wish I would have had a different set of expectations going into this place. Had I known it's a cane's alternative versus a Nashville hot chicken style then I would have enjoyed it more for what it is. Short review: If Dave's is on one side of the road and cane's is on the other, i'd go to the one that's most convenient to my position. No preference, no care. It isn't better or worse than raising cane's, even down to the crinkle fries. Longer review: This is no... read more

Chanced to see a mention of this place on Bing Maps and knew I had to check it out. I love finding out if places are as "hot" as advertised, but sadly most aren't. They tend to hedge because most Americans are wusses where hot foods are concerned. Dave's didn't disappoint! I had the #3 at reaper heat and a side of mac and cheese. And the manager's eyes almost popped out when I said reaper, but I told him I was down for the challenge. I actually ate the tender straight up, no sauce or anything. And it was legitimately ho... read more

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY! Waited in a long line through drive through but was worth it. The milkshakes were velvety and I drank that thing so fast, I couldn't eat my whole meal. I got one hot and one medium slider. The medium tasted like it didn't have anything on it but the hot was perfectly spiced. And the crunch was on point with a juicy inside. They gave us extra sauce at no charge but would prefer my ranch. I'm just a ranch person the sauce was good either way. Fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned and Mac n cheese was good... read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and they didn't disappoint! Best chicken spot I've had in Dallas! They had a long ass line but they just opened 2 days ago... no complaints at all. Definitely going back soon!
