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.

Spicy chicken heaven! Dave's hits the spot for delicious flavor and incredible quality. The #2 with cheese is my go-to, it is mouthwatering. Go as spicy as you like, try the reaper, I dare ya!

The chicken is good, but the fries are undercooked/mushy. A bit pricey, also. Just meh overall.

The food, service, and cleanliness of the restaurant were great! Best chicken sandwich I have had. Flavor was on point, very crispy, then soft and juicy. The fries were also good, seasoned, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also, Sam was very helpful. It was my first time here and he walked me through the menu with solid suggestions. Definitely will be back!

Great ambiance and food. I usually order Dave's #3, with a slice level of medium. Chicken is nicely cooked with fresh chicken and great spice. And don't get me started with the fries. Crispy as they can be. It hits every time.

Here to check out the chicken Sando...the option for different spice levels for each part of the meal is a nice touch. I got one hot and one medium to see the difference. No one like to be the Guinea pig but I'll bear that burden
