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

I went there last night for the 2nd time ever and had to come write a review. The chicken was absolutely flawless! This place is crazy busy, even though it was a Tuesday night. We ordered the #2 (2 sandwiches and fries) and a side of 1 tender. This was for the wife and I and we loved it! The chicken is soooo crispy and fresh, and had amazing flavor. The kale slaw, pickles and dave's sauce really blends nicely with their chicken. The potato bun is also a nice touch. We ordered the medium, as my wife can't handle that heat. It... read more

When you're craving fried chicken, Dave's is exactly what you'd think of- crispy, flavorful, and HOT depending on the level of heat you get. My boyfriend and I both got the Dave's Combo #3, which was a chicken tender, chicken slider, French fries, and their special sauce. It was $13.99 for the combo, which I thought was a meh price considering portion, but it actually really filled us up. It comes with pickles which I love, and they already had pickles in the sandwich so I love that we basically get extra (think it comes wi... read more

Very tasty chicken. I got the 1 tender 1 slider combo which came with a good portion of fries. I really liked that you can choose different heat levels for each item. I went with a hot tender and extra hot slider. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that neither were particularly hot, and there wasn't any discernable difference between hot and extra hot. Next time I guess I'll have to try Reaper lol.

Came here on 9/17/22 and split 2 tenders and a small milkshake with 1 other person. The total was $17.10 after tax. We came not hungry so we went with the tenders this time, but the sliders are objectively the better choice - they have slaw and the sauce instead of just white bread for just a dollar more. Not a minus against the restaurant itself (it is what it is), but parking in this plaza is awful when it's busy - easiest to find a spot between Boston Ski+Tennis and Sierra Trading Post, but leaving is bad no matter where... read more

Hot chicken comes to New England!!! I got the medium level spice and it still had quite the kick. I love spicy but this was even too much for me. NOT that it's a bad thing! The chicken was so juicy and full of flavor, the Mac and cheese was mad just right! My husband got the Hot and it almost had me in tears LOL again not a bad thing, I love spicy. If you want to try hot chicken or love some good ol' spicy food, come check this place out!!
