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.

First time having Dave's and i was definitely impressed with the quality of the chicken. The level of spices seem pretty nice - i got mild and my wife got plain. I could have definitely gone with hot, it didn't have much kick. The chicken was great, i felt the meal was very filling but $30 for chicken tenders is brutal. I do wish the prices were a bit lower. Overall i like this place and i could see myself coming back but i thought the inside of the place was kind of weird, the decor was just plain. They have alot of table... read more

I don't get the hype. I mean it's ok and that's it. Super mediocre at best. Got the slider and tender combo. The dry rub that seasons the tenders is overbearing. Not even in spice, just the powder gives it a gross taste to me. It was a little better when I added some honey, but would never order again. The slider was tastier, but nothing to brag about. Fries were average. Mac and cheese was good. I live 45 min away and for me it was a waste of a ride. I will never be back. Did want to add that service was very friendly, foo... read more

Hi. This is my second time at Dave's and I absolutely love it. It makes me not want to eat other fast food and I love that it's halal. I think the sticker is something that people from America should get more exposure to. It's pricey but it is filling and worth two meals. I went in person in Jersey and everyone is nice and the place is clean and a lot of workers on hand.

Very tasty. I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. Great sandwich. I got the medium version and it was just the right amount of heat for me. I liked it better than Chick Fil A.
