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.

Had to come to see if Dave's was worth all the hype I'd been hearing. Finally. Came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy. A good sign, but the restaurant is very small and stuffy. I ordered a sandwich combo (mild) and a couple of strips (medium). Enjoyed both, and left very full! Sometimes at these fried chicken sandwich restaurants, the fillet size in the sandwich isn't very substantial, but this one was a good size. In terms of spice preference, I would probably order medium spice next time. In summary, food and ... read more

My daughter and I have been wanting to come here for the longest time and somehow never did, considering it's in our neighborhood. Well, this past week we finally gave it a try. The place was packed! We both ordered Dave's #1 combo (hot) which came with 2 tenders and fries. One of the employees, Kai, was very friendly and quick in preparing our order. It's nice to see that fast food places like this have great customer service! The restaurant's decor is kinda wild with a space chicken theme. There are some tables inside an... read more

I love coming here-my favorite hot chicken! While I like the chicken and fries and pickles, it's really the friendly service that I love and comment on every time. I'm always so warmly greeted and it truly feels like a pleasure to serve me. I mostly do takeout and everything is prepared and packaged correctly. 

Business response:

5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!

This is my go-to spot for chicken sandwiches when in Mira Mesa. The food is flavorful and the people are nice. The inside, however, is pretty small so do not expect to eat inside. The line for this place gets pretty long, so I recommend downloading the app and ordering ahead. That way you don't have to wait in the long line and you get points for future purchases.

We truly appreciate your positive feedback. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're glad to have hit the mark with you!
