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.

Had to try Dave's Hot Chicken after seeing many food influencers on social media raving about Dave's Hot Chicken. It was very tasty! Tried the chicken tender, chicken bites, chicken slider, loaded fries, mac and cheese, Oreo vanilla milkshake, Cole slaw, and Dave's Sauce. I would definitely go back. I got the medium heat. It was not overly hot. Very tasty. It is Nashville hot style chicken. The Dave's sauce reminds me of Raising Cane's sauce. I was happy after my meal.

Even though mild looks spicy it actually isn't, it's nice to have options as someone who doesn't want too much though!! Chicken was super juicy, service was fine, milkshake machine almost broke but she never gave up! The inside had cute artwork too. Definitely get two sliders

Ordered the #4 the fries were hot, crisp, and had great seasoning. The Chicken slider (Hot) was perfectly seasoned with a little bit of kick and super juicy. The cashier was very kind and the dining area had a great vibe! Definitely would come back!

I stopped by Dave's exclusively to try the "Dave's Not Chicken" slider, which features breaded cauliflower instead of chicken. It was my first ever trip to Dave's...I was lured in by an ad I saw while my daughter was watching YouTube videos, and the crunch in the ad was so audible it seemed fake. Anyhow, I have to say the "Not Chicken" slider is a fine addition to meatless options in the fast food space. It was indeed impressively crunchy, and flavorful for that matter, served with pickles, slaw and Dave's sauce on a soft an... read more
