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.

Very dry. Very hot. I'm biased against dry rub of cooking, so there's that. But I was disappointed. I thought the flavor would be punchier and not just hot.

We enjoyed this Dave's. We came because of the cauliflower sliders for my vegetarian boyfriend. I got a medium tender and hot sandwich to try both heat levels. The medium tender wasn't that good but I really liked the hot slider. The flavor of the medium didn't taste as good so keep that in mind. For my preference the hot was not too spicy at all. I don't like the Dave's sauce being mayonnaise based. There is little seating for how busy it is. We had one waiting for a table while the other ordered. The atmosphere is like a f... read more

Just might be our new favorite chicken spot. At first glance, I wasn't aware that heat range started at none so I didn't chance coming here before. Now I am much wiser and know that there is plenty to choose from on the sauce heat scale. Quality of fry and chicken were great. Bun wasn't soggy, fries were seasoned well and tasty. Sauces were great. All-in-all a great experience at this little fast food spot.

We definitely will be back . Excellent customer service. Loved the atmosphere with great music. Ordered the 2 piece Chicken Strip Meal with cheese fries. Ordered it Hot and it delivered, but it was too hot For me. I usually can handle spice, but next time I will get medium. My husband and I split a large MnM shake. The shake and the Dave sauce helped cool it down. The strips were massive and juicy. The only thing I suggest is get some salt for your fries.

I live in Kentucky pretty close to Nashville, so I have extremely high standards for fried chicken, especially Nashville hot chicken. I was up in the area for work meeting up with a friend and we decided to give Dave's Hot Chicken a try. I ordered a couple of tenders. I did enjoy them! One thing I thought that was missing is the tenders weren't drenched in that spicy oil that then seeps into the bread. But given how far we are from the Mecca of hot chicken, it's definitely not bad and it'll satisfy a craving. The service... read more

Different concept and I like it. Sandwich was excellent; fresh, hot and spicy! A little hectic ordering but overall good service. Seating and eating area could use some cleaning. I recommend this place.

Good choice for spicy chicken lovers. We liked the sandwiches over tenders and toasts
