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

Oh my god I'm obsessed! I've eaten here twice and 10/10 recommend! Their chicken sandwich are to die for! I personally don't like the coleslaw in mine but accidentally got it once and it was still amazing! I'm a HUGEEE pickle Fan so when I asked for extra pickles I was beyond happy to see A TON of pickles. Their fries are definitely the best as well. I love chicken sandwiches and am VERY picky so I was very excited when I ate here! Not to mention their food IS halal!

Best chicken place ever!! If it's your first time I wouldn't get anything about mild. They are definitely spicy.

My friends keeps on talking about this place and encourage me to go in here even if it is a bit far and we did. First glance, the outside of the place looks nice and there were a lot of people inside. We decided to eat inside and I was amazed on the beautiful interior of the place. The walls and the ceiling are so cool that it feels like it is not a fast food. The vibe was amazing too. We ordered their combo and the sandwich was so good. Mine was the medium and it was perfect. Did not try the hottest sauce and the medium was... read more

The Nashville hot tenders and sliders are tasty. I got the xtra hot flavor and it was the right level of spice for me. I think the price is a bit steep and the meal price should include a drink.

Biggest thing that stands out about this place, the price. There aren't a ton of meal options, if you're planning to buy dinner for two people, get ready to spend around $30. That isn't to say you don't get a good amount of food, you certainly do. It would just be nice for a combo meal that goes under $10. The chicken is great, big, tasty, and spicy as the name suggests. Fries are great too. The toast is just a piece of bread, no sign of any flavor or anything to make it stand out from all the other chicken/fries/toast estab... read more

The best (and only) hot chicken in Naperville, hands down. The reaper is hot but not inedibly so, extra hot it where it's at imo. Get the sliders, but know that 'sliders' is a real understatement for these sandwiches. The sides aren't anything super special but they are solid, well priced, and go well with the chicken. On-line ordering and pickup is a breeze. Honestly nothing bad to say about Dave's, highly recommend!

Why don't these "trendy" food truck type restaurants ever have kids meals? Why are we paying restaurants prices and not getting a drink included in the meal. Food was good, nothing special. Small meals for the price. We felt it was a smidge over priced.
