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.

A solid Dave's Hot location in the South Bay! We came for a late weekday dinner; food came out quickly, service was friendly. Though, we didn't realize that there were self-service kiosks when you walk in on the right side. I ordered Dave's #4 which comes with a slider and fries. Portion sizes are already pretty large to start with IMO; in the future, I'd probably do a Dave's #2 (which comes with 2 sliders and fries) and share it with another person! The mild is already at the perfect heat level for me. Pair your slider w... read more

A bit over priced. $40 for 4 tenders and a drink. It's kinda over priced when tenders are the cheapest part of the chicken. Its wells fried and isn't bad food, just not worth it

Located in a very crowded shopping center with other food stores and a gym, therefore parking can be very hectic during lunch peak times. It's located on the far right hand corner, but it's pretty easy to find when looking for the yellow chicken. Line went by pretty quick even though it was a long line to begin with. As for the quality, really tasty and i would say this is a step up from chick fil a. The chicken was juicy and stayed crunchy. I appreciate that you can choose your spice level depending on your needs. The chick... read more

Super delicious! One thing is that the workers seem a bit out of it, as in they seemed very rushed since there were only two at the register (one taking orders and the other making orders for mobile orders). Another thing, they did forget the cheese in my cheese fries (I ordered online) so I was still upcharged by it. Also, they out pickles in my brothers food when we ordered without. But overall, a very great place to eat. A lot of people come by during the weekend, but not very noisy which is very great. Keep it up!

The chicken here is pretty good. I usually go tot he slider with fries. The sandwich is tasteful and the service is great. The meal doesn't come with a drink so you have to buy seperate. Medium hot will do and isn't too spicy
