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

Dave has done it again, with a cauliflower not chicken slider - that has all the crunch, all the flavor, and all the bite of a hot chicken sandwich. This could be one of the best vegetarian sandwiches out. Even better than fake chicken, they keep the cauliflower firm, and they manage to bread it so that the breading and crunch stays on the cauliflower. This sandwich is a revelation, and I hope it stays on the menu. Bravo!

Very clean place, surprisingly only 1 other customer was in line. Which kinda annoyed me because I called to place the order and the recorded message says to "visit our website because the team members were busy and couldn't get to your call" r something like that (Was trying to order ahead). So I got the slider Hot and fries well done. Less the $11.00. Waited about 5 mins. got my order and as I got the bag I thought shoot this feels light. Probably should've ordered more. FRIES were on point, just enough salt and crispy. T... read more

Great food. Open late. Good prices. We go once a week. Two slider combo is great. We split it and it is plenty.

Right now there are hot chicken places popping up all over and Dave's seems to be leading the way in establishing storefronts. I visited this location for lunch. It's located in a large plaza so there is plenty of parking. I ordered their #4 - a single chicken slider (I added cheese) which comes with fries. You can choose your level of spiciness and I went with "mild". I also added a chocolate milkshake. You might assume a "slider" is small but what you get at Dave's is a full-size chicken sandwich. The chicken was tender ... read more
