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.

We tried Dave's today and it was delicious! The ambience is awesome. It's like eating in a work of art and the service was great. We tried almost everything and it was all good. Medium heat was the sweet spot for our crew. The chocolate shake was also fantastic.

I like their chicken tenders. But I had a less than pleasurable experience today. I've eaten here quite a few times over the last few weeks and tried to place an order online today, but the website was not working correctly. Called to see if the order had gone through even though it did not register as confirmed. Talked with the manager who proceeded to tell me it was the 21st century and there are millions of ways to order online so he doesn't like to help people out over the phone. Personally, I don't love being insulted... read more

Absolutely tough decision but I'm giving it a one star. Here's a simple review. Food is great! Extremely overpriced, almost $6 for 1 chicken tender. The service is absolutely awful, not the employees fault. I was in Line with nobody in the store for 25 minutes. Service is bad because they don't hire staff, they don't hire staff because nobody goes there, nobody goes there because they're overpriced and have bad service. Any 5 star review is bought and paid for. If Dave's wants to be able to staff it then they need customer... read more

Whatever you do, don't eat inside unless you want your eardrums blown out. Jesus, the music is cranking and everyone is screaming to communicate. Turn it down dumb dumbs! I heard it's management that expects this by the way.

I am being a bit generous with the 2-stars based on the disappointment I have. I ordered in their drive through and ordered a #1 with 2-tenders and fries. When I got home, 10 miles away, I was disappointed to find 2-sliders or a #2. I wanted to contact the restaurant to express my disappointment but got some voice message telling me they are too busy to answer the phone and to leave my comments on a "contact us" link on their webpage. I tried to open the link and it said something to the effect the link is down, try again la... read more

How does this place have such good reviews? My did tastes old and like spoiled chicken. The chicken without the seasoning tastes ok, but the hot chicken and the fries taste awful. I'm hoping I don't get sick from this. I know it's Friday night and it's midnight but that's unacceptable. At least I was able to eat one of the sliders.

Overly seasoned and over priced. Don't bother. Places like this remind me why I eat at home.

Sooo many better places for chicken and fries. Has such an uncomfortable and strange aftertaste. Both my husband and I felt sick afterward. Overpriced especially for the lack of quality

Loved this place last year but with the last two times, although their chicken is great! Our family won't be ordering here anymore. Last time I ordered they gave me bad slaw and it was barely filled halfway and cauliflower bites that were pricey and didn't have them all.. and then this time, they put basically no slaw in my sandwich or my husbands. Super lame (First two pics are an order from a few months ago and the sandwhich is from today)
