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.

I have always been a fan of Nashville hot chicken and this place is doing it well. The reaper level is on point. We have been here several times and have always been satisfied.

Dave's got chicken is absolutely amazing!! They are definitely spicy so make sure you can handle some spice. I would recommend eating In the store for the best quality of food but even with drive through the only downside was the fries went crispy but the flavor in the food makes up for everything!!!

The chicken is nice, thick chicken breast tenders. We tried no spice, lite spice and hot. They just tasted like they had too much taco seasoning on them. We weren't impressed. It's pretty expensive compared to other fast food chicken places. I can be just as underwhelmed by the food at the KFC across the street.

I love their "no spice" chicken tenders. I like them smeared With actual honey. (They'll give you packets of honey if you ask) The Dave's sauce is also really good but I like the honey even better. It's not fancy (it's fried chicken) but it's the best fast food fried chicken I've ever had. It reminds me of home cooked. Juicy. Delicious. Made with love. I'm not a fan of spice but every once in awhile I'll get the mild spice version. It's got a bit of kick but not enough to hurt me. When you're in the mood for fast food,... read more

My husband is obsessed with this place and I just tried it with him today. He of course likes spicy and I don't. He gets the medium and loves it, says the hot is ok but the heat is almost too much that it's not enjoyable to eat. I got a no spice and lite spice slider and I really loved the no spice and would get it again. The lord spice is spicy to mean and leaves the heat afterwards. Mac and cheese was also good. Get extra Dave sauce it's so good.

After seeing this place on Instagram for years we saw a new location opened by kind of by us and had to try it out! For $13 and some change you can get 2 sandwiches and fries. We swapped fries for Mac n cheese and no additional charge which was nice. Mild and medium didn't taste much different to us but both were decently spicy. I'd probably stick to mild and my husband would up it to hot next time. Only complaint is the Mac n cheese could use a tad salt. we both love that they add extra pickles on the side if you want them-... read more
