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 wanted to see what this place was about but to my chagrin did not live up to whatever that was. I mean it wasn't horrible but it wasn't tasty. I got my offer from DoorDash which was timely like most fast food places. Just a little disappointed this didn't live up to expectations.

I love daves hot chicken. I came here for the first time to try the reaper spice level chicken tender. It's very, very hot! You are required to sign a waiver to try it. And that alone makes me want to go back. I recommend you drink a cup of milk 15 minutes before you eat anything above hot. Just so you won't wake up with that ball of fire in your stomach feeling.trust me, i know.I love incredibly hot food. The chicken is very good, moist, and flavorful.as for ambiance, there is plenty of seating inside, and it's decorated wi... read more

It's a fast food chain kinda vibe. Order at counter, pick up food at the counter. They have seats you can self seat. Self-serve. Food was good. Had a bite of the reaper, I normally cannot handle spicy food, and it wasn't too bad. Although I can see the spice grow on you as you eat. My friend suffered from eating half the reaper though. 

Business response:

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

One of the best chicken sandwiches and tenders I've ever had! I was very impressed by the special sauce and the level of spicy-ness for the "hot" option. I'm looking forward to trying the "reaper" next! 

Business response:

5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!

After seeing Dave's Hot Chicken in a reel I had to try! We tried the Mac and cheese; The cheese tasted fake to me, I was better off microwaving one from a Kraft cup. We ordered hot tenders (to go) and it didn't disappoint. I was worried it would taste like Tabasco sauce like some other places do, but it was seasoned well. All the seasonings had a party in my mouth; It tasted like real chicken, fresh, juicy, tender, crispy, spicy, and flavorful. *Update* I went again and tried their slider. I usually don't like cold sla... read more

The portion was extremely small compared to what my peers had ordered. I received a tender the size of about 2.5 McNuggets. The picture shown is after 2 minuscule bites. The flavor was phenomenal and the sauce was decent. The workers are ver nice and handy. I will come back and try to get my tenders the right size again.
