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.

Pretty okay. I got 2 sliders and fries, after one slides and half the fries I was already full, I cant ever finish the whole thing. The pickles are my favorite pickles from any fast food place and I love how they give so much on the side!! BUT honestly at first I thought it was okay, after hearing all the hype and trying it out, I don't think it was worth the hype.

Dave's is probably my favorite of all the hot chicken chains. Being hungry after work late one night I was pleased so see this Dave's location still open at 10pm. I ordered a single slider and a small chocolate milkshake. Dave's has several choices for spiciness and I chose "mild" and also added cheese to my sandwich. Even though they call them "sliders" the chicken & bun are good sized and plenty for a late night snack. The chicken was tender and moist, seasoned perfectly, and served piping hot. The slaw and pickles add ... read more

Dave's was so good. I got the meal with two sandwiches and fries and a drink. The chicken is seasoned so well. I usually hate pickles, but the ones at Dave's are so nice and crispy and not soggy at all. The fries were so good. Dave's sauce on top of all that made the meal amazing. Highly recommend .

This placed lived up to all the hype. The fries were well-seasoned, the chicken was both juicy & seasoned, but the heat wasn't shy either. And there was a real, discernible difference in heat between the hot/extra hot (Would've got the Reaper, but it turns out you have to sign a waiver!) The service was polite, but quick and they were busy! My only complaint was how loud it was, but it's a small place and they were super busy so I'm not holding it against them.

1 slider is filling as is for 1 person. It was a bit too salty tho. The Extra Hot has a nice kick to it. Fries were nice and soft, and seasoned a bit heavy. Service was quick and friendly. Ambience here is kind of small. But there's extra seating outdoors.

Great food and great prices as well! Their two sandwich meal is enough food for two people to split with the fries.

Delicious chicken spot. I ordered the chicken slider or sandwich with fries. The chicken is so soft! The sauce is also great.
