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.

It was my first time trying Dave's & I'm officially a fan. Mo let me taste the flavors before I ordered so I knew what level of hot to get (I got medium) and it was amazing. 10/10 will be back here.

My daughter and I stopped in for lunch. We were greeted by Paul. The food was delicious but Paul's customer service was top notch! So refreshing to have great service as well as good, affordable food.

The food wasn't the best, but the environment was OK! What I recommend eating here, I guess.

I went here last night with my friend and the customer service was so nice, the worker that helped us was so sweet. However the mac n cheese that I got was very salty and I wasn't able to continue eating it because it was straight up salt. Hopefully that changes!!
