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.

I have done both pickup and dine-in at this point. The food is very good quality and you get plenty of it, in my opinion. I think the heat levels are a little exaggerated and that if you want any heat you have to go above medium for sure. You get bread and pickles with everything and Dave's sauce is also included. I was expecting the sauce to be similar to Raising Cane's sauce but I was very wrong. Dave's sauce is much sweeter and I'm not a huge fan. The chicken alone is great so I just don't use the sauce. The French fries ... read more

Dave's Dave's Dave's..... what to say. So to start this off, this is a review of the brand, not necessarily this location. Dave's is LA based and has recently started opening up multiple locations all over the US. We have a couple in my home town but never got a chance to try until I came through Denver and they also had some here. I got the meal with cheese fries and a tender and slider. Both in the mild flavor. I could have definitely gone up to a medium but wanted to play it safe since it's my first time trying. The chick... read more

Great service! But food was about a 6.5/10 on flavor. Sliders had a solid potato type bun but honestly bigger than the typical slider, so 2 is quite a bit of food. I ordered hot and it wasn't really that spicy. The flavor was a little one dimensional and didn't really have that addictive component I was looking for. It came with a little bit of slaw that was slightly dressed, solid crunchy pickles, and a mustard forward sauce that was okay to me. Fries were really good, hot, crunchy, and salty!

This place is the bomb - outstanding food quality and the place was very clean. Make sure to use Dave sauce on your tender or slider. The sliders are very big - similar in size to Chic-fil-a sandwiches

Went here on Monday around 4pm. The staff was great, really friendly. I got number 2. Initially I thought I was going to have two small "sliders" but they were regular chicken sandwiches so it was way too much for me. The food was just okay, I asked for a mild and a spicy one but they both tasted the same too me and not spicy. I would give it a 4 but the music inside was just too loud, I was having late lunch/dinner not at the club haha

Fantastic hot chicken! I ordered two chicken sliders with fries and a milkshake. Glad I got the medium heat so I could still taste the chicken.

Someone asked me how the chicken was while I was eating it, and without hesitating, I said "bomb". So that sums it up. Bomb chicken.

Tasty hot chicken! I love fried chicken so it was only a matter of time until I made my way to Dave's. Located on Platte St, Dave's has a very convenient location. It's a decently sized spot with a patio - wasn't too busy on a Monday, so we walked right up to the counter to order. As a first timer, I appreciated the small menu - made it easier to pick what we wanted! We were warned about the humongous portion sizes, so my husband and I opted to split the slider combo + we got Mac & cheese as well. The meal is truly humon... read more

Dave's is my new fave! The chicken is on point and no there is no ranch dressing because it's not needed because the flavor is just right without it. I bathe lots of things in ranch before I eat it so naturally I was disappointed but then one bite and I was sold on the idea ranch was definitely not needed. Also they have a dog friendly patio. Service was fast and great!
