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.

Best chicken sandwich/tenders (whole breast meat) customized to your heat level, you'll find. Service a bit slow, but you can order ahead. Must try the dipping sauce. Chicken with or without a roll are your choices, except for a few sides. 

Business response:

Can't spell heart without heat! Glad you loved us and thanks for the review!

Updated 4/13/23: It's pretty obvious Julie C's job has nothing to do with actually relaying comments back to Dave's, just insisting everyone make the same effort - AGAIN - by leaving comments on their website. Note that reviews with a similar number of stars receive similar, sometimes almost identical, feedback from her. Guess she's too busy cutting and pasting to actually take the time to relay Yelper's comments directly to the business. Back to my initial review... Let's be real here... you came here for the chicken, an... read more

Eaten here a few times. The food is great. The hottest chicken they have is just doused with chili powder on top. So be aware. It's not the actual chicken that is hot. The fries are on point and milkshakes aren't to shabby.

Oh my GOODNESS I LOVEEEE DAVE'S! SOOO FLAVORFUL! So highly seasoned! Ordering from here is always a win. My only gripe is I wish they had more options or food choices. But oh well. I usually get their sliders which are phenomenal, especially if you add some extra cheese sauce on top with extra honey' LOVE IT! Prices are A LITTLE high though. But it's not often you find places with such flavorful chicken.
