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 love Dave’s Hot Chicken so much and I go some areas. But I visited here for dinner because I want to get spicy chicken. I ordered extra hot then I took a bite, it was not that spicy as I expected. I remember it was spicy in different location but I think it’s my brain didn’t triggered any heat. However, this is still great chicken sandwich and French fries.
As a lover of spicy fried chicken sandwiches, this ranks as one of the top. Spicy, crunchy, and not the bougie kind of fried chicken sandwiches you find at other places. French fries are solid as well. I wouldn’t recommend the side of coleslaw - it’s super tiny.
We decided to try Dave’s Hot Chicken in San Leandro before heading to the brewery next door, and it did not disappoint! We ordered Dave’s #2: 2 Sliders with Fries and added cheese. You can choose your spice level, so we went with one HOT and one EXTRA HOT. Both sliders were delicious, crispy, and packed with flavor. The fries were really tasty too! I think I might go for their Reaper spicy level next time. It’s a great spot for a quick meal and to satisfy your craving for a spicy chicken sandwich.
Wow the sliders here blow my mind. The chicken was super crunchy, and so juicy both at the same time. It's not overly flavorful albeit salty, and that is why the Dave's sauce which has a hit of honey mustard aoli, plus a drizzle of honey really balances out each bite. Wow, wow, wow my mind was blown. The crinkles are nice and well seasoned and crunchy! Something that gets missed on crinkles. The Mac and cheese- is okay at best with a very light cheese flavor. I wish it was a bit more thick in consistency and had a bold chees... read more
First-Time customer. Definitely not the last time. Got the top-loaded fries because it has a bit of everything on the menu all in one dish. Highly recommend it.
