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 decided to try Dave's again after the first disaster and I'm pleasantly satisfied. I got a hot chicken sandwich with fries (they forgot the fries but it's always busy so I understand) However, the sandwich had so much flavor! Their signature sauce. I need a personal bottle. 9.5/10 Bravo Dave bravo (I was offering a free code for my last review but didn't use it, this review isn't biased )

Checked out Dave's hot chicken and found the meal to be quite tasty. For fast food this is one of the better pieces of chicken that I've had. It is white meat but juicy, it tastes like it's been brined and the breading has lots of flavor both savory and a tiny bit sweet, nice combo. You can choose different heat levels from nonexistent to fiery and everything in between. We got fries and mac & cheese as side orders the fries I enjoyed but the mac & cheese was pretty plain, I'll stick with the chicken and fries. We will retur... read more

Dave's hot chicken is serving "Not chicken" cauliflower options. I stopped in specifically for this after seeing and advertisement on social media. The fries were good. The cauliflower was good, not as crunchy as advertised but it was extremely flavorful. Service was good, they made sure I was ordering everything I wanted and told me to expect a short wait as everything is made to order. When my order was ready they asked if I wanted any additional sauces so I took some ketchup for the fries. The sauce didn't look vegan so ... read more
