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.

I was craving some hot chicken, so my husband and I decided to give Dave's a try. We both ordered some sliders and fries with cheese. I ordered the mild flavor and it was perfect for me as I don't love super spicy things. My husband ordered the medium flavor and we both agreed it was a little spicier than we enjoy, so we will stick with the mild! The flavor of the sliders were great, and the fries were also spiced to perfection. The cheese add-on was a good call. And the Dave's sauce - amazing! We got some extra to take home... read more

I went to Dave's tonight kinda last minute and I felt bad but I was greeted by Myuh at the cash register and she was very welcoming and happy to see me. I feel like when I come here it's always good ambiance and vibes. Food always hits every time.

Went here to try this place because we were on a spicy chicken kick. Their menu is really simple but that didn't matter because it was delicious. You order at the register then wait for your number to be called. I didn't try the hottest sauce (I believe you have to sign a waiver for it) but I did try the next down. It was hotter than I've had at other places. Will definitely be back.

Super cute location & decor however the menu is very limiting only offering tenders and chicken sandwiches. Service was decent but I would suggest not going around 2pm during the weekdays as there are a ton of loud & rowdy high school students in there... The chicken was well seasoned on the outside & crispy to perfection but looks were deceiving as I bit into my sandwich the flavor didn't follow. My daughter on the other hand claims that this is now her fave restaurant so as with all restaurants, good tasting food is subje... read more

I love this place! They always have the best chicken even compared to every other chicken restaurant I've tried. Food is consistently good and service is efficient. The staff are so nice and it's a must try for broad ripple!

This was seriously good chicken. The menu is on the smaller side so you're either going to get a slider (which is practically a full-sized sandwich) and/or a chicken tender (which is practically a whole chicken). I made the mistake of ordering the combo that included one slider and 1 tender. I was so full after just the sandwich, there's no way I could've finished both. It also comes with a slice of white bread so it was like double chicken, double bread and really enough for 2 people. I got the hot spice level which ended... read more

Ok so I scout for halal meat options so I have a list of go to places handy when I am craving good tenders or burgers and I stumbled upon Dave's hot chicken. First impressions, the place is swanky and spotlessly clean. Deja my server gave me suggestions of nice combos which helped me save money else I was planning to order 3 tenders and slaw which costed a bit more. The to go order took less than 10 minutes and I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the tenders (holy, Moly!), I loved the side of Kale salad which wasn'... read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area and wanted to try, we are unfamiliar with the area and were scolded in the back alley by an employee for parking somewhere we shouldn't, and we had to figure out where proper parking was on our own. When we got in, service was just okay. We needed a few minutes to look over the menu, and she was extremely inpatient with us, despite us being the only guests there. I appreciate the vegetarian options, and was happy with my sandwich. I got medium and expected it to be spicier than what it ... read more
