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.

Hot chicken without lard! It's actually halal :o Definitely recommend getting the slider and tender so you can try multiple heat levels. Hot tip: mix honey with the Dave sauce. You won't regret it!

Clean restaurant with friendly service. This is my second visit to a Dave's, the first time was in California. The food is consistently good. The spice levels are true to their names, and the fries are good, the pickles are a perfect accompaniment. Keep up the good work Dave's!

The food is SO GOOD. 10/10 the spice is perfectly matching the level. (Mild,medium, hot etc.) The service is really good. The customer service is also really good. One time someone else took one of the people in my party's food but after that they ended up making another one for them. The reason why i give foir stars is because it is LOUD. with the music blasting and people talking i can barley hear my order! If it wasnt so loud, it would have been 5/5

I thought the chicken was tasty. It was just all very rich with the french fries. The menu promised a kale sort of relish on the sandwich but it was almost non-existent. A bit of acidic, vinegary kale or slaw in the sandwich would be a nice compliment to the richness of fried chicken and fries. Not sure I would race back. I need a little bit of nutrition in my food. On the plus side, the chicken was nice and crunchy and the service was kind.

Dave's hot chicken was NOT hot...metaphorically speaking. The spicy chicken slider was indeed hot, but very underwhelming. It was in the same category of fast food spicy chicken. Juicy chicken and crispy on the edges. However, it was not very impressive. Comparing this spot to the other fastfood spicy hot chicken sandwiches it is on par. Thus, this deserves a solid 3, nothing more, nothing less. Good amount of parking and has a drive through. I'd say that you should check it out if you are nearby, but I wouldn't encourage... read more
