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.

Wow, I am speechless with how tender, juicy, and crispy Dave's tenders are! I went there on opening day and waited a good 20 minutes before getting my food. The next day, crowd died down a little and about a month later, service has gotten pretty quick! Where do I even start with the food? Menu is simple and small, tenders is what they specialize in and that is just amazing and flavorful. The slaw and Dave sauce are great additions to the sliders. We tried their strawberry milkshake once and wouldn't recommend.... We weren't... read more

First time at Dave's. I had a "2 Slider and Fries" meal with a chocolate shake. The chocolate shake was -ok- but the chicken and fries were fantastic. Dave's sauce and the slaw on the sliders was very good. I love hot chicken aside from the stereotypical additional of pickles.... So needless to say I ordered with pickles. I ordered the "hot" heat level - perfect for me, could maybe go up to extra-hot. Was not as hot as anticipated. The chicken itself was definitely more of a traditional hot chicken style sandwich like yo... read more

Been here twice in the last two weeks, food was great, but have to say the service is out standing. Someone comes around and makes sure everything is good, constantly coming around cleaning tables. It really makes a difference. When comes to the sliders there is nothing small about them. Again love it and can't wait to come back

My husband and I dined at Dave's not knowing what to expect and we were very pleasantly surprised!! We ordered the 2 mild sliders with fries. The sliders had their special sauce, pickles, kaleslaw and we added cheese. The chicken was so flavorful and extremely crispy without being overly greasy. The pickles, slaw, and sauce really complimented the flavor of the mild chicken. The inside we super cool. There was graffiti on some accent walls, colorful, hanging lights, and some Madison decor. I noticed the inside was clean and ... read more

In town for work from North Dakota. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. At first, I wasn't impressed with the menu options but, the slider was delicious. Slightly spendy but what isn't nowadays! (Will be going back next time I'm in the area.)

Delicious, delicious, delicious! And very enthusiastic service too! Beware that if you order it spicy, your mouth will be on fire;) Took one star off because sadly they did forget one chicken sandwich.
