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.

My friend told me a Dave's hot chicken had opened walking distance from the gym so obviously we had to grab some protein after a work out. I love chicken sandwiches so I worked out extra hard just to grab some. I decided to go with "medium" just to start out because I wasn't sure how spicy it was. I got a chicken sandwich that came with pickles and fries. I was pleasantly surprised how juicy and tender the chicken was, none of that dryness you get from major chain chicken restaurants. The service was a tad slow but you can't... read more

I didn't eat inside the restaurant, there really isn't that much space inside to eat. The restaurant was clean and decorated as any regular NYC restaurant is. There was no line, and the cashier who took my order was friendly. Ordered a vanilla shake and some chicken tenders and waffle fry combos. The chickens have different levels of heat. I did mild cuz I'm a , my partner when with hot. It was so good, I'm not usually a fan of spicy, but this was flavorful and spicy. So my mouth kinda burned, but I was definitely licking... read more

Dave's hot chicken isn't really spicy if you can handle it. Their chicken is always juicy. I enjoy the slider a lot which comes with a slaw and soft bun. The chicken tender comes with a slice of bread and pickles. The Dave sauce is a nice dipping sauce and get some honey too. The combo comes with fries but you can substitute it with Mac and cheese. Both of these sides are good, depending what I prefer to eat for the day. The service is quick, there are a lot of people working in the kitchen. The shop is small with really cut... read more

The chicken is overly seasoned, but moist and juicy. It's good to try the first time, but to keep going back to it is nothing special.

I was in the area after my yoga class and was looking for something to eat. Lo and behold, I found this place. I must have entered about 11:30am, so it wasn't crowded. Barry was the counter person. He greeted me as soon as I walked in. He was very pleasant and professional. He was honest about the level of hotness/ heat levels. Very polite and made all customers feel welcomed without being phony. The place is very clean and a good amount of seating. I ordered take out. I had the two tenders and it comes with one side, th... read more
