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 demise of Boss Bird left a void in my go to Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Kluckin failed me. Dave's location was not ideal, but I heard good thing from a foodie colleague. We gave it a try on Friday and we all left satisfied. The chicken had crunch! Customer service was excellent, we were able to order quickly and I actually like the focused menu (not too many options). I had the slider (medium hot) and fries. Both excellent + a bunch of extra pickle slice and a side of sauce. Next time I'm going Hot, as the me... read more

So I came in solely because of all of the advertising for Dave's Not Chicken...cauliflower, in the place of chicken?? Ummm, yes, yes and yes! My vegan/vegetarian friends, I have found your holy grail "chicken" sandwich but even my carnivorous co-habby of mine gave it his ultra picky stamp of approval. Delish! It was lightly breaded with your spice level of choice, nice and crispy with tender cauliflower in the center of it all. We both agreed we would get this again in a heartbeat! For myself being the skeptic, I ended up ... read more

Food: I have tried all spice levels, none are unbearable, they are rather quite pleasant and full of flavor. It's as if the intent is a flavorful bite each and every time you dive into your meal. The fries are excellent! Both the tenders, burgers and fries are complimented extremely well with the cheese. Service: I have always ordered through the yelp app as well as over the phone; regardless of your method of ordering the food is always ready by the time I arrive. I have ordered at both rush and non-rush hours (15 min wai... read more
