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 food was good and had the right amount of heat in it but a little salty. Besides that it was delicious.

Holy heck this chicken is good! The 5 star reviews aren't lying. I got 2 sliders, one medium and one mild. I preferred the medium but both were delicious. The fries were really good too. The order also comes with pickles and sauce which is a nice touch. Portions were huge and the price was good. I would recommend Dave's!

Ordered a #1 and #4 with Mac and cheese, so good! Takeout was a success on a perfect day, for chicken. Excellent location 10/10 would highly recommend staff was friendly and the inside was clean.

HOLY CHICKEN! Drop what you're doing and go get Dave's. This is in my humble chicken opinion, the best hot chicken in Chicago. Forget fry the coop/budlong/parsons. This is the real deal, and also quite a deal depending on what you order. I opted for the #2 - 2 sliders w/ fries. Don't let the word sliders fool you, these are full size chicken sandwiches. Let's do the math - 2 sandwiches + fries for $15. About $6 per sandwich and $3 for fries. Not bad. Ok math lesson over, let's talk chicken. These aren't your mamas chicken... read more

I didn't physically come to the location, but a sandwich was brought to me. I sure do love me some hot chicken, but unfortunately my buddy brought me a very mild in spice tasting sandwich. The chicken itself was very tender and juicy, and although my wimpy friend bought some mild sandwiches the flavor was still definitely there. I will definitely be returning to order something spicer. The fries were also very tasty and they seem to have very decent specials.

This food business is a great establishment. The team was excited to be working there, food order didn't take long, and the place was clean - so I had a place to enjoy the experience. Next time I'm going back to try the spiciest chicken and get something different since it had the amenities I like!

Excellent chicken. Had both a chicken strip and a slider. Was very hungry so I ate both. "Hot" was perfect amount of heat for me, very tasty with a nice little kick.

Very (fire) , but in all seriousness the food is outstanding coming from northern Indiana where good spicy food is rare, this is a breath of fresh air. Most importantly Drake ate here.
