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 was walking by and saw this new restaurant so I gave it a try, I was surprised by the kindness of the workers and the speed with which they prepared my food. The chicken was delicious juicy and spicy, the mac and cheese was hot and delicious, I didn't expect an experience like the one I had I will definitely come back with my family for more!!!! I love it!!!

Julie thank you for wanting to have us try again but it's simply what your produce and sell and isn't for people who have to watch their intake of fats and salts and way to much seasoning. Even the Fries had it just all to much for our taste.

I still remember my first time with Dave's and having a bite of their sliders, Hot and Medium. I'll never forget the experience and the taste of it. It exceeded my expectations and each time it just gets better and better. I usually go with the Dave's #2 Medium and Hot. Every bite has a lot of flavor, chicken is juicy and the kale slaw and pickles make it perfect. Their Dave's sauce is amazing! Their cheese fries are pretty good too! Looking forward to their milkshakes! I really enjoyed my experience with this location! The ... read more

The chicken is so good and I love that you can level the spice because some days I want spicy and some days I don't. It's a lot of chicken and if you get the sliders the bun is so soft and delicious. My daughter loves the Mac and cheese. Fast and nice service, I'm so glad to have another dining option in the area!

Went in last night for dinner. Service 5/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Food 3/5 Ordered the Dave's #2. The sandwich was just ok. The Dave's sauce is very odd. Fries were delicious. The Mac and cheese was the biggest let down. I think frozen Mac and cheese tastes better. Go to Legends in Lakewood if you want some really good chicken sandwich.
