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.

Abby was so nice and funny to me and my friend! It was our first time eating at Dave's and she was cracking jokes from the get go! She even asked us for extra sauce/napkins when we were eating. Y'all make sure you crack it down with Abby, she's the goat fr. #Loveuqueen

Really good food. Was open late and close to the hospital so I was able to run out and grab a bite to eat and get back fairly quick.

I had to check out the hype so I went through the drive thru and ordered a #2 combo, with two sliders and fries (drink not included). It was definitely different than all of the Nashville or buffalo style chicken sandwiches that have taken off over the last five years. Instead of relying on vinegar for flavor, the spice rub had warm, middle eastern flavors. The chicken had a good crunch and the fries were very well-seasoned. I can't do very much heat but I do like a little. Since hot is their middle name I figured I'd go co... read more

I love this place and the food is wonderful. I always notice the pleasant greeting and friendliness of the staff, who really seem to enjoy working there. I love the wide choice of spice levels, and willingness to allow substitutions of their fries with no upcharge. I have never had any issues with the accuracy of the orders, unlike the nearby Popeye's, which has sullen staff including the manager, outright rudeness toward customers and even irritation when we asked for missing items from our order. Popeye's has never once g... read more
