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

#4 Hot No Pickles (I hate pickles, not sorry) w/ cheese Drive Thru; Took less than 5 minutes during the lunch hour. The tender slider was a decent spiciness but my nose wasn't running. And I like really spicy food so maybe I'll go up a level next time. I believe the bun, the slaw, and the cheese helped dim the spicy down. I think I will nix the cheese next time. The toasted bun held up well and didn't disintegrate or get soggy. It was a nice soft bun, but I think a tougher bun would work better. I liked the sauce w/ the ... read more

Fast. Hot. Fresh. I ordered the 2 piece tenders and fries with the Hot spice level. It's like a hot that you can enjoy because I definitely wasn't purchasing a drink to go with my $12.00 meal. My mouth has a small tingle after my little mouse moment of eating in the parking lot. It is pricey for 2 tenders but I get it. It's Halal so the price is going to be more expensive then your run of the mill machine slaughtered chicken. I look forward to returning!

The Mild and Medium are not spicy at all, I'd say way less spicy than your "spicy chicken sandwich" at Wendy's or Chikfila. Chicken is perfectly crispy and tender and the flavors of the cole slaw inside the sandwich add the most perfect crunch. So so good. Get it!!!!

I was the first one at the drive thru.. waited 12 mins for the food. Only ordered 2 meals. Missing "Dave's sauce" and the Mac and cheese. Flavors for the chicken was decent. Kind of pricey, would rather order from Ricky's or Pluckers. The employees was sweet though.

Dave's is some good chicken, although expensive. Not a place I'd come all the time due to the price. However those chicken sliders are great and their cheese fries are good, similar to Shake Shack.

I just went here tonight and ate my food in the car like a dirty little gremlin...... It was good!!! I got the mild level of spice for the combo, with the tender and the sandwich. Food was super hot (in temperature not spicy level) and fresh. I tried Luckys hot chicken the other day and then Dave's today so I could compare them. Dave's breading for the chicken was a lot thicker than Luckys which I preferred. Got a nice crunch with each bite. I probably could have gone up a spice level but the mild was plenty flavorful and wa... read more
