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.

Went at about 8:30p on hump day. The place was empty aside from a couple people waiting for their orders. I ordered two sliders a hot and an extra hot with mac & cheese instead of fries. I was told by a friend that the sliders are small and I would need two. He was wrong. The sliders are pretty huge. One was enough with a side. So far I've only eaten the extra hot slider and it's pretty good! Not the best I've ever had, but great place in the neighborhood that I can see myself going to every once in a while. Mac was all rig... read more

One thing about me... I will always say yes to hot chicken! I was having a conversation with a friend and she brought this place up and was surprised I had never tried it. 15 minutes later we were on our way to Dave's hot chicken! I like some spice but my friend recommended I get the mild since she found the medium to be unbearable. I regret listening to her because although the mild did have great flavor it did not have the kick that I wanted from "hot chicken". I ordered the slider and tender combo and WOW the chicken wa... read more

Always been passing by this spot, finally had a chance to try Their hot chicken sliders are top notch. No complaints at all. Ordered the medium spice level and had a slight kick to it Fries were alright Friendly staff! I understand it's midtown and parking spaces are scarce, but when a lot is shared with a food hall, it can be a little stressful to find a spot sometimes (Side note, Found it a little funny that one of the employees walked in with a bag of Popeyes)

I have had better "hot chicken" from other places in the city. I ordered a medium spice level but to me I would consider it mild. I tried my sister's "hot" level chicken and it was still not that spicy. So if you want spice you have to level up. The coleslaw is made with Kale. It's supposed to be a healthier version. It was ok. What was off putting was that I came with my family after putt putt golf. This was the closest halal restaurant downtown that was open past 9pm. We were a family of 8, so we had to slide a few of ... read more

Second time trying Dave's hot chicken. Had medium sliders the first time and trying the hot tenders this time. Both were good for spicy fried chicken but don't know whether I'd crave for it to keep coming back. Would appreciate more options.

Calling all chicken tender lovers - Dave's chicken is crazy delicious!! I wish there were more location in the great Houston area. Pros: Quality: You will be amazed by the quality of ingredients used at a place that I would consider a fast food restaurant. From the fries to the chicken to the homemade ranch, everything is tasty! Portion: You get what you pay for at this restaurant. The chicken tenders they serve are essentially mini dinosaur legs lol. The price doesn't match the amount you get, but in a good way.

One of the better fried chicken sandwiches (sliders) available. Being able to choose your on level spice is a plus
