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.

Dave, I know how great your sandwiches are. I wasn't planning on eating at your place today but my temptations got the best of me and I ended up having your mini sliders. It was good. Really good. The perfect amount for someone who didn't want to eat too much while maintaining the same great taste as a normal sandwich. The honey and the sauce paired with the fries? Fuhgetaboutit. But what I can't forget is how sticky my fingers got after going through your meals. How could I open the bathroom doors without getting honey a... read more

Is the hype worth it? Yes, of course it is. In terms of cost, all fast food places are more expensive these days. But you'll love this place.

They have unique decorations and all around fun environment. The service was quick and polite. The food was better than I anticipated. The chicken had a lot of flavor. And I loved the sauce they have!

I got the two sliders with mac & cheese ($14.99) and other orders for my family. It was their first time eating food from Dave's (and my umpteenth), and they enjoyed it. I really appreciate how the chicken has a blend of savory and slightly sweet flavors. I was hungry at the time, so each bite was quick even though the portion size was large. The price point for two sliders with an accompanying side is relatively high, but it's still a nice and reliable treat to have.

Great ambiance, amazing food, and nice service. A must-try for anyone stopping by or living around the area. I went during the busiest hour of the day. People were coming in and out of the place everywhere. I ordered the Dave Meal #1 (medium spice with Mac and cheese) and the Dave's not chicken fried (cheesy fries topped with cauliflower). The tenders were very juicy and the seasoning was a little sweet and salty. It wasn't as spicy as I would have liked it to be, but it was still great with the Dave's Sauce. Mac and cheese ... read more

Tried Dave's hot chicken for the first time. I gotta say the spice levels weren't as intense as I thought it would be. I got a medium and mild. Medium felt more like a mild. So I will for sure get a higher spice level next time. My favorite was the sliders. I'll be back for those for sure.

I ubered the food and it was delicious 8.3/10! Spice level for mild and medium wasn't spicy! Add honey to the chicken solid 9/10! Mac and cheese it was okay 6.5/10. Sauce 9/10! Pickles 7/10 nice crunch! Fries have to eat right away for crispiness 8.5/10.

Came to try Dave's hot chicken today for my first time and ordered thru the yelp menu for fast pick up but unfortunately when I arrived home I realized they never gave me my fries with the $12.49 Dave bites toast and fries,and for that is going be a 1 star for me. Unfortunately I am quite bugged that my order was incomplete. I am unsure if I will give Dave's a second chance unfortunately.
