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

Forgot a fork in a bag. I forgive them. The aroma emanated from the bag upon. The sweet scents of paprika and spices. The coleslaw and pickles made it a unique experience. The Mac and cheese did not impress me but it was not unenjoyable. Step it up canes, you have competition.

The option was Mc Donald's or to try this place, so I decided it would be fun to try this place out. The menu is, disappointing at best, but I do like how they serve the crinkle cut fries. The workers weren't very polite, but the service was good. This place feels crowded, and it takes a long time for your order because it's a small location. Not to knock this place, you can't complain if you can get your food, it just takes a long time for them to get it ready. That's the only reason why I think it feels like it's occupie... read more

Food was at tasty it had a lot of flavor and is one of the most interesting takes on chicken I've ever had! Service was simple, nothing too extra, nothing too bad served us well! Ambiance was interesting considering this place is great! Should've had more people but decorations and everything is amazing. I only put one star off since prices have risen but otherwise amazing!

Came here on a busy Friday night and was greeted and well taken care of by Kris!! I'd have to say he has extremely great customer service, he is prompt, friendly with kids, takes orders correctly (which is totally rare these days)! Whoever hired Kris---- give Him a raise!! We will only be back to see Kris!

Went through the drive-thru around 8pm, George took our order and not only did he have great energy and attitude; he was extremely helpful in tracking our large and complicated order and offered to repeat the order a third time when we added more items. He had a great sense of urgency when we got to the window, which is important on a Friday night! The man is good at his job! Kudos to whoever hired him.

Just be prepared this place gets BUSY! inside and out. Service was cool and apologized for the long wait. This place gives me a feeling of canes with wing stop flavors ( not all of them) . I got the slider and the tender combo, it comes with fries but no drink. The slider is a full sandwich so beware if you're thinking a little sandwich. The flavoring was okay, more of a powder tossing than a sauce. Definitely get the honey and Dave's sauce. Food was decent overall. I would come back. Also they stay open late so if you're lo... read more

Was excited about Dave's opening up so close to my house. I'm a big fan of chicken sandwiches. However, the fries and sandwich were wayyy too salty. There are lots of other chicken spots that are better than Dave's.
