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

If they were to invert the effort they put on atmosphere into their food… man, I bet this could be a great 4.7 star place. Just had their chicken sandwich #4 medium spice… flavor is somewhat there, but masked by so much salt I couldn’t really taste the chicken, coleslaw or pickles… it was just SALT.. Fries were good! Salty, but good. Sauce is alright, nothing to brag about.

CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CUZ DAVE'S HOT CHICKEN IS ON FIRE🔥🔥🔥 (If you find this post helpful, please leave a like) Dave's does not disappoint, it's a clean restaurant with a simple menu and they perfectly execute what they do. And that's hot fried chicken. Albeit, chicken tenders and chicken sliders only, they do it extraordinarily well. I ate the Reaper spice level (aka CAROLINA REAPER). Yep, it is freaking HOT!

It's just a fun place to eat chicken 🐔 My girls love this place. Retro and colorful. Clean and well maintained. The menu is super small and easy to order from. Quick service, the staff is attentive and super outgoing . The chicken can be mild to super hot, and the eating ambiance with all the art is very 😎 cool. A must visit for chicken

Chicken tenders were very salty, not sure what they were going for here. 1st time going here, not sure I will go back. My son had plain tenders, they were very salty too.
