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.

I have been to Dave’s at different locations, all of the experiences being just ok. Inside the restaurant there is not much seating, so if you are looking to seat a big party, it might be hard to get a table, as there are only 3 ish tables in the cramped space. It is a clean establishment though. I ordered the #4 (one slider with a side of fries) at medium spice. The spice at medium is not bad at all. The chicken was u expectedly juicy this time, as other times that I have been to Dave’s it was drier. Service was good and re... read more

I have eaten here many times now; today was the first day they messed up. I ordered the two slider meal and the pieces of chicken were very very small. Usuaslly the chicken pieces are big; like double size from today. Now let's move on to the styrofoam containers and plastic bags which are contributing immensely to our environmental destruction of this planet. Which no one seems to care about especially restaurants. At least try to act like your from California. For anyone reading this that disagrees, move back to Kansas w... read more

I kept hearing about how good their sandwiches are. Having tried many hot chicken places here. Dave’s is just ok. Sandwich portion size is good. Fries are small. The chicken taste decent (might have too much cayenne pepper for some). the sauce is too mayonnaisey in my opinion.

I got the tenders with no spice (because I'm weak) and it was good, so just imagine how good it must be with spice. They give bread with the chicken tenders! They also put the meal in a cool looking black container in a plastic bag. The fries have a barely noticeable but nonzero spice, which I think tastes very good but may still destroy someone who would self combust if they taste any level of spice
