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.

Wanted to see what the hype is with Daves so we gave it a try tonight. Them tenders are big! Fries were perfectly seasoned but I kept it safe and ordered mild. Dave's sauce is really good and went well with everything. The sliced bread that comes with it evens out the seasoned. The employees were super friendly and service was fast. Dining room is spacious and kept cleaned. As for the sliders me personally I would get it without slaw and maybe on the side. My son did get hot level for his strips and it was a bit too spicy fo... read more

recently went with friends. I ordered the chicken tenders (item #1), and my friends tried the chicken sandwiches (items #2 and #3) with medium spice. The food was excellent. Their chicken sandwiches and tenders are consistently good. If you like a kick, you'll love their spicy options. Service was quick; you order at the counter and pick up your food when it's ready. The restaurant's ambiance is casual, similar to a McDonald's.

Finally had Dave's Hot Chicken and it was hella good. Got the medium hot tender which wasn't hot at all. Next time I'm gonna kick it up a notch with the spice level. I love the fact that it comes with pickle and that the serving is generous. Speaking of being generous, they didn't skimp on giving me extra sauce. I really like that the tender wasn't dried out and it was well seasoned. I also got some cheese fries and a strawberry shake - both were equally good. I like the fact that the shake was super thick and the french fr... read more

The food was good, but i do feel it's overhyped, but this to me is just another fast food fried chicken spot. Though you can select your spice level, there's not much flavor going on in the spices like other fried chicken spots. I will say their sauce and Slaw definitely save the whole shindig, and the vibe is dope with the playlist selection they got. Maybe because we always go towards the night we get the rush service so maybe that's why we don't get the hype of Dave's ‍ service was good though, those taking orders in the ... read more

I have been here a few times. It's really really good. I had been craving it for a few weeks and finally broke down and drove to Union Landing. Friendly staff, delicious food and no wait time. I got the mild tenders and the wife got extra hot. Restaurant was clean and well maintained and the 2 of us ate for about $28 bucks. Highly recommended
