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.

Dave's Hot Chicken was delicious. I got the One Slider and One Tender (Dave's #3) and the tender was very good, but the slider was excellent. The kale slaw was so light and refreshing but gave the sandwich a nice crunch. The chicken was juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The bread that came with the tender was a little stale but that's the only negative thing. If you haven't tried Dave's Hot Chicken yet it is definitely worth it!

We recently visited Dave's Hot Chicken, and overall, it felt a bit overhyped. While the food was served quickly and the restaurant itself was very clean with plenty of seating, the quality of the food just didn't live up to the buzz. One thing that stood out as odd was that the combo meals don't include a drink, which feels like a miss--especially considering the price. For what you pay, it just doesn't feel worth it. The chicken itself was unfortunately disappointing--it had a rubbery texture and even tasted slightly sandy... read more

The manager and employees in the rock hill location are unprofessional and stole my money. The worker came to my table asked me how was my food I told him that it was salty and I couldn't eat it. The person I was with also said so but stated she would eat it. I was going to just take it home to my son but he took my food and said he would get me a refund.

I thought it was overpriced and nothing special. The food wasn't nearly as good as promoted.

I don't understand. If all of these reviews are correct, what happened to my chicken? Ordered chicken tenders, medium. They were absolutely inedible. Dry. Unbelievably salty. Chicken itself was tough and flavorless. The Mac and cheese was fine but nothing special. I tossed the chicken in the garbage. Never again.
