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

Placed a mobile order for pickup earlier this week. When I got there Jolene was already packaging it up. She was friendly, totally on top of things, and nothing was missing from my order. I got the chicken strip box. The strips were fresh, hot, and crispy. The spice level I picked was just right. The crinkle cut fries were also fresh and crisp. Make sure to get extra Dave's sauce for dipping. My husband got the sandwich box and ordered a side of coleslaw to top his sandwiches with. It was a good flavor combo.

The staff is so friendly!! Ruth is an amazing person and makes my visits feel great! The food is pretty good and I am surprised that a waiver needs to be signed before ordering the hottest flavor because I did not think it was that hot! I feel that ghost pepper would be a great addition to the list of flavors and it honestly feels hotter than the reaper option I tried! The ambiance is nice because there is music and there's not only outdoor seating but there is also a back room that takes You away from all the noise from the... read more

While I do enjoy spicy foods, my favorite level at Dave's is mild. It just seems to have more flavor. I probably go here two to three times a month for lunch. Absolutely love being able to order online, and by the time I get there it's ready! Jolene and Ruth are always there to hand me my order with a smile. Great vibe, and the very best french fries in town! Crinkle cut with the perfect crunch and spice!

This was the best chicken I have had in a long time! I got the medium spice and it was like "jalapeño" heat, the 2 tender meal. I also got a Mac and cheese. If I could give 10 stars I would :) the service was very helpful, when asking about the "heat" levels she was very informed on what would be the best choice. The art around the walls was super fun, I had to stop and take pictures. If your reading this, it's your sign to go get some hot chicken from Dave's!
