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.

Such juicy and flavorful chicken! I really love the spices, ordered mild which has some heat to it. Their fries have some spice seasoning on them and they are delicious!
Great seems a little extreme. Good seems inferior. Maybe a 4.5 Dave's has been open for over a year. I've been meaning to get there since it opened. I just kind of forgot about it (eating healthier over the past 9 mos has deterred my eating out during a majority of that time). Tonight was my chance. My wife and I had some errands to run in the evening, we both were hungry...so mentioned Dave's and I was like...sure. I completely forgot they existed. I had no idea about their menu. It seemed very simple. The "sliders" are... read more
Smells good, taste good and the 3 stars are for presentation of my sandwich. Daves sauce was so skimpy i I literally had to look close to find if there was a little bit on it. There were probably three pieces of cabbage and four pieces of lettuce and when I say pieces, I mean the size of a nickel I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, but today's world spending money is a subject by itself. Pictures look great on menu, but what you receive is different It wasn't like there was a line and they were trying to catch up on the... read more
Everything was good, but it was weird to have one sandwich on buns and the other on a single piece of bread? I'll give it another shot in the future, but as a first timer it was weird.
Food was an amazing spicy chicken sandwich. The best I've ever had. After a couple visits I've decided the Very Hot level is best for me, the Reaper is no joke and nearly made me ill, and Hot was also good and maybe a bit more flavorful even. The bread for the tenders is mediocre - akin to wonderbread - and the fries were passable. Not much variety on the menu. However, they aim to do one thing and they do it very well - amazing spicy chicken with a spice level for everyone. Service and ambiance are about what you'd expect f... read more
Saw some pictures that caught my eye and made me want to try Dave's. Glad I did, the chicken is delicious and reasonably priced. Staff was very friendly and had great recommendations. Restaurant was clean and inviting
WTF?! I was NOT expecting this place to be so delicious! It looks like a fast food strip-mall reject but I was feeling impulsive so I stopped by. The fumes from the pepper had me coughing but DANG that chicken was tasty, juicy and tender! I had far lower expectations and this place was DELICIOUS! I'd happily go again!
This ones a lot better than the la ones. Horrible experiences elsewhere but this one's actually good
Great friendly service... one of our favorites for lunches. The hot is but they have lots of heat levels... Highly recommend
