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

Terrible service. I order a meal that took forever to make. Just for 2 other people to walk in 10 mins after me and get their food before me. Just terrible and when I asked about my food I noticed it was just sitting there and I was just waiting for nothing. Never coming back and that was my first time there.
I go here all the time and I will not be coming back because of the service. The young girl who works around 11 during the week shouldn't be working in costumer service period. She's rolled her eyes at me when I asked for silverwear, she hung up two times. It's really not that hard to be nice and shouldn't be having ppl working there who don't know how to handle situations properly.
Food was mid. I do not get the hype of this place. We ordered to dine in, and I got the slider and tender meal. The fries were cold and the chicken tender was soggy. The sandwich was good, that piece of meat was hot, so I don't know what happened with the tender. The table we sat at was sticky and not cleaned. The soda machine didn't have enough syrup so the diet coke had no flavor.
PLEASE CLEAN AND WIPE YOUR TABLES. It's gross having eat on dirty tables and seeing trash all over the floor. Even the trash cans were filled to the brim and clearly needed to be changed. The tables were sticky and had a ton of crumbs. Keep in mind I came in during non busy hours and no one really came in for the next hour while I was there. The workers easily could have cleaned up the mess during these non busy times. Luckily the food was decent! I ordered these items below and will rate them 1-10 (5 being average). - dave... read more
All the tables were super sticky even tho floor and ticket times are off the charts I was number 101 and after about 15 mins they were still on 96. For 27 dollars for a meal they could at least get food out at a quicker pace should take about 6-8 mins to fry the chicken and then assemble the slider how is it taking double the time they aren't firing multiple chickens since they have multiple orders. Seems their is no kitchen lead or just really bad efficiency
All the tables inside & outside were super sticky , so bring your own wipes . The music is sooo loud you it made it hard to order , or talk while we were waiting for our food . I'm sure the employees are enjoying the music but customers want to visit with their company .. we didn't see a manager and I think the young employees have full rein ..
Food 4/10 service 2/10 I ordered cheese fries, as labeled on my order. I did not get cheese fries, just regular plain fries. Fries were cold. I was given the least amount of sauce possible and I ordered a medium spice level, it feels like I got no spice at ALL, just plain chicken. I am just in shock :( have been to other Dave's, have never been treated like this.
Dining room floor really sticky! Place should be jumping ! But business is very slow, not catching on franchise a little weak! Chicken was very tough. Not sure if it was undercooked or just old? There's actually quite a few of these hot chicken restaurants and Dave's flooded the market with them. My opinion they're at the bottom of the list compared to legends Joe and a lot of the other smaller places. If I was a franchise I'd be in here trying to figure out what's going on why business pretty much sucks. Also let me say t... read more
The chicken is good, fries are okay but always cold. The reason I'm giving 1 star is the service. Out of the 4 times I've came here, my order has been wrong 3 times. This latest visit I ordered the 2 slider combo and received the 2 tender combo, but they still charged me for the sliders. I don't recommend coming here unless you're going to take the time to open all your food and make sure they got it right, because they most likely didn't.
