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.

This is my fist time in Palm Desert and my first time at a Dave's Hot Chicken. Josh, the cashier explained the menu to us, and the various levels of heat, as if he owned the restaurant. I asked if he's a manager and he said nope, just a cashier. It's rare these days to find genuinely great customer service. Hopefully the food will be as great but we haven't eaten yet so I will have to get back to that aspect.

The staff is so friendly and welcoming, the place is very clean, and the chicken is amazing, we get the sliders, we had the hot but couldn't handle it, so we went down to the medium which was perfect. I do think that they're reasonably priced with inflation being the way it is. We usually share the sliders which is 13 bucks. Don't expect "regular" fast food prices.

Pretty good sandwich. Like the popeyes chicken sandwich but with chili powder and cayenne pepper coating. Juicy, crunchy, thick pickles, nice slaw, soft bread. I got the medium. I read reviews saying people would not go spicier than that. It was ok. It's less spicy than a bag of flamin hot cheetos. If you like spicy, i wouldnt be afraid of going higher
