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 chicken sliders were so tender and juicy and had a great amount of flavor with the extra honey and daves sauce! Also the customer service was great and all the employees were happy and cheerful about asking how my experience was. The hot spice level is definetly hot af but so worth it! 2 sliders and Cajun fries for 15$n overall great experience and would go back!

Very good Nashville style chicken sandwich. I enjoyed the flavor of the sandwich and tender meal. Heat at medium was tolerable. Good price for the value and lots of parking and crushed ice available was a bonus! I'll be back.

Andre, Joann, angie, saniyah and john were some of the best and nice workers I have encountered. The food that was cooked was absolutely amazing. Most definitely recommend coming here for some chicken. They offered us a free sample of the reaper chicken as well. This place is the bomb.

Dave's coming to my neighborhood may be the most dangerous thing for my wallet. Let's talk about fast food fried chicken sandwiches on the lower east side. Dave's is the only establishment that fits the bill for that description that I would order from. These sandwiches are beyond what you would expect from a "fast food joint". My first suggestion is to make your order a sandwich on not just a tender. The bread and slaw combo severely up the taste quality of this meal. The sandwiches are crunchy, well seasoned, and come with... read more

I really enjoy Dave's hot chicken and am really glad they opened a location downtown! We got sliders and tenders, Mac and fries. The chicken at medium was delicious! As we're the sides. I'd do the sliders again but they aren't sliders, they are full blown chicken sandwiches. The food is great but expensive. Two meals was $35 and they made us buy a bottle for water which is kind of frustrating. Solid spot, good service, clean. Will only get the slider next time tho bc woah! So much food.
