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 have eaten at this place twice and both times the customer service was absolutely amazing. The food was top-notch way better than all the other chicken sandwich restaurants. I came again here today and the cashier, named Salvador was very, very friendly. He is what brings customers back and makes businesses great. The first time I came, Jolene was our cashier, and she was just as great as Salvador. So please if the manager or general manager is reading this, give A pad on the back for sure. Keep up the great customer, ser... read more

I've had dave's a bunch of times, but this is the only place that was good. Genuinely, very other place I've been the chicken was so soggy. I got the sandwich and the chicken bites. Both were pretty good, just don't expect dave's to be too spicy.

Appreciate the love and the awesome 5-star review! Your support means a lot to us. Let's continue making great memories together!

Service was amazing. Nicki was super patient and friendly as my kids and I decided what we wanted. It was our first time. She also stopped by the table to check on us and bring us extra ketchup. Interior is super clean and spacious. Outside is nice too. Food was served hot and fresh. Will return!

Very impressed with how warmly we were greeted when we entered the restaurant. I've never been greeted like that in a fast food restaurant. We were asked if we had been in before & if we had any questions regarding the menu. Both Nicki and Jolene were very friendly & accommodating. The restaurant is very clean & well kept & the chicken was delicious. 

Business response:

Wow, you just made our day with your awesome review! Thanks a ton for spreading the good vibes – we can't wait to have you back!
