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.

Was at U Albany for a work trip and was so happy to find a Dave's right by campus! If you haven't heard of Dave's yet...yikes, and yes it is worth the hype. What I like the most is how everything on the menu can be customized to your preferences. I wasn't a huge fan of the cheese sauce but the seasoning on the chicken and if you love spice, here's your chance to add as much as you want! This spot is also HUGE!

Wow, for a fast food place, Dave's Hot Chicken is GOOD!! A little pricier but you get what you pay for. The chicken is so crispy and flavorful. I love that the combos come with dipping sauce and extra pickles. Service is quick and efficient. Definitely worth a visit!

Pretty average food. The chicken spice is dry rub style not a sauce. Fries were pretty good. I would skip the Mac and cheese, it's nothing special. Clean restaurant with a modern design. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Pleasant staff. The menu is limited. The wait time is extensive. The food is ok. We did find the design pretty cool. The graffiti walls and silly mascot outshined the food.
