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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

I genuinely don't think better chicken sandwiches exist. This Culver Plaza location is very convenient with lots of available parking in the surrounding areas. The inside is very spacious with lots of seating options, vibrant with color, light, and unique graffitied art. I always order the #2 which is 2 sliders with lots of fries, pickles, and Dave's sauce. I also add cheese to my order. It is absolutely delicious. Their range on spice level is perfect for anybody with any spice tolerance level. The chicken sandwich itself... read more

amazing first experience here! to start off the man, Bryan, working the drive through was so knowledgeable & asked if we wanted a full rundown of the the menu. He was AMAZING!! He was happy even during the hurricane + considering we came pretty late (10pm) it was so refreshing to have a nice conversation with someone who knows his chicken! food smells amazing, and tastes even better!

Hot chicken always does it for me and Dave's is one of the places on the list that I go to for it. I got the 2 Tenders w/ Fries (Medium Spice) and was satisfied for the night. The tenders did have a lot of "powder" on it compared to other Dave's Hot Chicken locations I've tried, but maybe it was just an off night. The chicken itself was hot, fresh, and delicious! I enjoyed how many pickles were given to us because it was the perfect amount to finish off the meal. Service was quick for the night and lots of parking in the... read more

Coming from out of state to stop for a quick dinner for my family the food was ok, I prefer Monroe's Hot Chicken. But i will say I appreciate the service from sweet Sufyan in the front, she was friendly and gave me a good experience tonight.

Pretty decent hot chicken spot located in Culver Plaza across Mcdonald's. Parking is fine and shouldn't be too bad unless you go during a very crowded time. I got the #1 which is two sliders and fries for around $15 (can be subbed for mac and cheese if that's more your speed). I got both of them hot since the medium doesn't have enough kick for me. I think the tenders are a little small but the flavor is there. The chicken is pretty moist and the spice does not overwhelm the chicken taste. The bun is good and pairs nicely w... read more

Dave's has always been a go to place for me. Their chicken sandwiches have such a good sauce and have such a great amount of pickles. Just make sure to get hot because the media is not very spicy. Love it !!
