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.

Greatest food. super nice service. As for ambiance: Please stop making them say the whole script, turn the music down so we can hear each other, turn the alarms off, and be nice to your employees. Menu is perfect too.

Not the best food ever. Seasoning was weird. The people were super loud and the restaurant. Food was overpriced for what you're getting. Also served sliders on a piece of white bread and not a bun. Service was quick though

Lately, I have been on a hot chicken bender. Within the last few weeks alone I've gone to several different spots to try out their menus and compare them. Dave's is for sure near the top of the pack and it all starts with the customer service. The employees are incredibly kind, they greeted me upon my arrival and made sure I didn't need any help navigating the menu. The food came out incredibly fast which would leave anyone skeptical at first but it was super fresh and probably my favorite meal of the past week. The seas... read more

Food was great along with the new milkshake we ordered. Was greedy very nicely by the male manager in the front companied with classic music in the background. When we went to order the female at the registered seemed off got our order sorta wrong. When we asked her for Dave's sauce in the packets she rudely replied that "it comes in containers now can't you see" threw my girlfriend and I off but we continue to enjoy our meal. hopefully you don't experience this poor customer service.

Best fast food chicken I have ever had. Fries are delicious too. And the pricing in today's day and age is actually reasonable/fair. The staff is also very friendly which makes for a great experience. This is the only location I have been to but I am guessing it is the neighborhood and people that makes this one have a great chill vibe. I have one tiny annoyance. Their chairs are metal all the way down to the bottom of the legs. The noise of the chairs being moved is quite piercing and deafening. Just hoping someone from ... read more

the food was great as always but the restaurant was everything but clean or peaceful, there was crumbs and sauce all over my table when I asked the worker if they could clean it responded with no where busy in a rude manner and a hint of disrespect and handed me at most 4 napkins. and the food took much longer than usual to get done. and when it did come out the fries where old my tenders had the wrong sauce it was a mess considering not going back after this experience.

This fried chicken is different! Try it to believe it Convenient location, has a parking lot for easy parking, youth vibes to the restaurant, helpful staff and delicious food. Dominique at the register gets a shout out for her excellent customer support. If you are a fan of spicy hot chicken, then this is your place. We have tried many fried chicken places, even Korean fried chicken but the thing that makes this chicken different is the flover in the coating, heat built with in the coating, so no extra sauce for dipping n... read more
