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.

If i lived in Lakewood i would be here every day. I love a good Hot Chicken Sandwich. I've only ever been here for take-out a few times but both times i've had no issues picking up my food at it's designated time. The cashiers are friendly and the vibes are very relaxed inside. 

Business response:

Ordered: Dave's #3: 1 Tender & 1 Slider with Fries (~$13): mild spice; tender served with sliced bread, pickles, and side of Dave's sauce; slider served with kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce Diet Coke bottle (~$3) Aya's take: I randomly found myself in Ohio after a diverted flight, and we decided to grab a quick bite. It was so difficult to find something open past 10pm - shout out to Dave's for coming in clutch. I had heard about Dave's but never tried it; I knew it wouldn't disappoint and I was right. The chicken is c... read more

Ok chicken place.. it is like a canes chicken if you have heard of that. Pros: you can pick the spice of your chicken, I prefer the chicken over canes chicken. The slider comes with coleslaw on the bun which gives it a nice crunch. Cons- the sauce is flavorless. The fries overpower the sauce when eaten together. The fries are okay. The white bread that comes with a tender is not toasted. It's just a cold slice of bread they grabbed out of a bread bag.

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

What a great addition to the Lakewood food scene! The restaurant has vibrant pictures all around the store. I went with my two sons who are 1 and 5. It wasn't too busy during lunch on a Friday so the service was quick and efficient. I ordered the 2 chicken sliders lite mild and an additional slider with no spice and fries. My son said the lite mild was a little spicy for his liking. I enjoyed the mild slider it was very flavorful and the Dave's sauce was a great addition as well. I even dipped my fries in it. This portion si... read more

Had this place after the Browns game and it was delicious. This was my 2nd time trying Dave's and I look forward to the Columbus Grand Opening! Chicken Sammies 1-5=5. Fries 1-5=5.
