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.

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!

I tried this place for the first time on Saturday after hearing mixed reviews. I'm not usually the type to get spicy food, therefore I would usually stray away from places like this. Upon coming in, I was glad to hear that they have mild options also so if you love chicken sliders or tenders, I would definitely try this place. I tried the chicken slider in medium, and it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. I'm not sure if I would even consider this as medium but it was really good! I loved how they gave you extra pickl... read more

I went here for the first time and I must say the interior is such a fun vibe. Plenty of seating as well! We opted to sit outside since the weather was perfect. We got the extra hot spice level and in my opinion (as a spicy food lover) it was the perfect amount of spice for me! I'm tempted to try the reaper spice level next time. I ordered the combo #1. My tenders were so juicy and the fries were good as well. The two tenders is actually very filling. Since it was my first time I ordered a vanilla milkshake as well just in ... read more
