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 was so excited to try this place, especially since i love all things spicy. I ordered the 1 slider and 1 tender with fries. I wanted to give this a better rating because the chicken is flavorful and juicy. What i couldn't get passed was the seasoning on top of the chicken powdered on my lips as i bit in to the chicken. the seasoning on the "outside" seemed to sit on top of the chicken not adding flavor to the it. I hope to go back and be able to update this review hoping i just got a bad batch...

Location: midtown (across from Gloria's) Staff: Aarian was lovely! We were greeted at entrance and she asked if it was our first time and went on to elaborate and explain the menu Price: average Parking: plenty Clean: area/location very clean Drink: chocolate milk shake was delish Taste: we opt out for #4 with medium and other one light. Both were a great taste. Dip was delish! Fries not greasy at all. Will definitely be coming back

Surprisingly satisfying chain hot chicken. The seasoning is an excellent balance of salty and sweet, like a better than average BBQ potato chip. Son asked for medium, I got the medium so he could taste it and got him the mild. And he struggled with the mild but still insists it was delicious. The Kale Slaw is a good alternative to fries.

First time here, loved it got the #3 extra hot comes with a tender, a slider and a side. Fries are good crinkle cut but you can upgrade to Mac n cheese for no cost(that's what my wife did, Mac is equally amazing) Ojinga was our server we told him it was our first time he walked us through the menu, spice levels, told us about the 1/2 off alcohol happy hour and made sure everything was to our liking. Driven past this spot many times now it's going in the regular rotation of places we go

Literally before walking inside, I could smell the lovely scent of fried chicken and almost taste it on my tongue! This was my first time trying Dave's and as the #houstonchickensandwichqueen I give it a 5/5. It was so juicy like juice literally dripping down my chin, the medium spice was perfect, it was served nice and hot and the sweet pickles are the perfect addition. Delilah at the front was awesome and sweet and I will definitely be back again soon

Love this hot chicken place in Rice Village! Got the medium spice chicken sandwich with a side of fries! The chicken was tender and the breading was crispy and flavorful. The medium spice wasn't that spicy, recommend getting the hot level! Recommend asking for honey to drizzle on the fries!
