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.

Ordered food around 5pm June 29th just to wait 20 mins for my dine in food, just to hear several order after mine keep get given out just to be told my the rude Latin girl on expo who hates her job if you could find out by her face/attitude. The food is fine but ruins the whole experience especially spending $40+ for some chicken and fries... still ate it not complaining about the food

Ordered from Grubhub, fries were cold. Order called for 2 chicken tenders and only got one. The berry slush had zero flavor. Chicken was just not good. Another second timer 1st and last.

Today is the third time I have been to Dave's hot chicken in Wayne NJ. Today is November 21, 2024. I ordered a number 1. The fries were cold and my chicken strips were now cold. I paid over 12.00 for a meal that was a waste because everything was cold. The staff member was not helpful and the manager was helpful also. I will not be returning back here.

We stopped in for something quick and small, so we got the number 2 for $14.99, which doesn't come with a drink. Then, when you pay, the register gives you the option to give a tip on the screen or a tip jar! That's an automatic one star drop for me because this isn't a sit down restaurant with table service. Since when do fast food restaurant employees start getting tips for ringing you up and putting your food on the counter so you can get up and grab it. As for the food, it wasn't that bad but nothing to go crazy over. Al... read more

First time here, after ordering it took about 8 minutes. I waited to eat inside. All the empty tables were dirty with food particles, none had been wiped at 12:30. The chicken and fries were hot and fresh. I had the lite-mild. The chicken had too much powdery spice on it. I think the chicken is fried, then doused in the spice. It did not have much flavor considering all the powdery spice on it. The fries were very average. $13. for 2 pieces of chicken and fries, no drink. I would not return.

I went once and the experience was alright. The line was really long and everything was all over the place. The place was dirty!! My friend and I almost fell down because of how wet the floor was of ice and fountain drink's. The trash was piled up like a mountain on the trash cans my order was missing item's. The food was bland the chicken sandwich had no flavor the only flavor was the Daves sauce. I don't think I'll be back.
