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 finally got around to trying Dave's and I will say it did not disappoint. Chicken sliders were crispy and decent portion. Fries could be crisper. The cashier was friendly and doing like 3 jobs at one time--taking orders, handing out online orders through pick up window and giving out food. He was busy, but had a great attitude. The spice level from Medium to Hot is big. Medium tasted Mild to me, but Hot burns the first few bites until your mouth numbs up. I recommend paying the 50 cents for cheese on each slider since ... read more

My honry & I ate here while doing some Christmas shopping. It was my first time eating at this restaurant. Now I know why this franchise is popping up all over - hot damn! It's really yummy! I got the 2tenders & my honey got the 2 sliders. Chicken was hot & juicy. The mild heat was just right. Their sauce was DOPE AF - the ONLY thing I would say is add fried cheese curds to dip in that dope sauce! Great vibe & great service too!

Josh welcomed us and made recommendations for our first visit and we loved the food! The mild seasoning was hot enough for me. The chipotle mayo sauce was delicious on the perfectly seasoned fries. 

Business response:

We don't carry chipotle mayo but if you're referring to the Dave's sauce then I'm glad you loved it!
