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.

We wanted to give this place a try; it has the funny looking logo and looks like a hipster-styled spot for some chicken. My partner ordered the slider and the tender with light mild and I ordered the 2 sliders with cheese and the mild spice level. Order was given to us literally less than 1 minute after ordering so they are super fast. However, the food was kind of mehhh. The chicken pieces were gigantic, but the flavoring was put on with powder. The powder flavoring made the chicken dry. I got the impression that this... read more

Great quality chicken. I read online that the original owners trained at the French laundry which means that they use quality technique and ingredients. It definitely shows. I can't handle a lot Of Spicey food so I go with the mild spice which for me was perfect.

Chicken was awesome - sliders were great! Also loved the Mac & Cheese. Had just opened a few days before, but all was smooth - staff was very friendly and helpful. I loved the multiple heat levels so easy to select exactly the heat level we wanted on the chicken and were comfortable with. We will be going back soon!

So glad that Dave's is at this location, closer to our home. Dave's is among the best of the numerous hot chicken shops that have sprouted up. The flavor profile of the spices is well balanced (not just "hot"), and the chicken is juicy on the inside with a good crunch on the outside. The fries and mac and cheese are well done. Online ordering is easy to navigate.
