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.

Kai was a dick fuck that guy he didn't even even give me extra coleslaw when I asked for extra coleslaw and my chicken. My chicken was burn.

someone stole my order and they refused to replace it?? at first the woman said she won't remake it so i questioned her. if you gave my food away to someone else then you're responsible for remaking it? so she said she would, but then changed her mind again. debit card refund in 3-5 days. so irritating. i just wanted some chicken

If you thought the extra hot would be the warm up to "reaper", you're clearly mistaken

Very disappointed. I asked for moderate spice level and there was nothing spicy on my sandwich. Also, it comes with coleslaw and there was barely any. Not trying it again.

I've been here twice to get tenders and was unhappy both times. I'm not really into spicy food so I ordered a low level of spiciness but what I was given was a level of spiciness high enough to make the meal unenjoyable. Either I was given a higher level by mistake or the low level is still too spicy for me. On my second visit I ordered "no spice", but then found out that no spice also means absolutely no flavor. Very meaty pieces though.

The wait time is insane here. 22+ minutes to receive my order. I want the tip back. Nothing fast about this food. Also $31 w/tip.... I didn't even get a drink. Cauliflower should not cost more than chicken but it does here. The mac & cheese is horrible, it's about as special as drinking fountain water. It reminds me of High School cafeteria food with cheese. I would skip this place. The employees are nice though.

first thing i would love to say is that the food is actually great however the thing that really made this review deserve a one star is the amount of time i had to wait for this food. i told the person at the front register that i am running on low on time and if they could make it a little bit quick... boy was i really wrong! they took 50 minutes to make the food and at the end, they had the nerve to tell me that they were making my mac & cheese! i was already late and the food was not meant for me but for two hungry girls ... read more

I had been looking forward to going and eating at Dave's for a long time now. I had my opportunity to do just that,today and was completely let down.,outside of my order being taken by a very nice and personable,fellow kind and considerate in,every respect, I felt your,chicken to be way under expectations and not even as good as their rival Popeyes.The taste was practically non existent.The texture was quite soggy and even-the,fries had no,flavor,and n nothing to write home about so,to,speak.,if you want to have a fast food ... read more

Long wait times. Workers don't know what is going on. Don't understand why orders take for ever when they only have 3 things on the menu. Oh and they basically force you to leave a tip !
