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 got a free slider on Drakes Birthday… thank you Drake. I ordered a reaper (the spiciest level) and it was not that spicy. It was so amazing and delicious though. This place is tied with my other favorite fried chicken place: Love Burn in south SF. For anyone who is afraid of the reaper, trust me it’s not spicy. Love Burn has spicier chicken at level 2 (first date) than the reaper. Dave’s Hot Chicken and their slaw is so so so good. Amazing chicken. Very great chicken and seasonings. LOVE ITTTTT

I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked their chicken sandwich. Definitely give them a try. The fries were also really good.

For a fast food joint, it hits. The sliders were juicy and crispy. However, it was not as hot as I would've liked. Fries were crispy and nicely seasoned. Street parking only and no lot though. Only a moderate amount of seating so maybe it's better for take out. I'd take this over national chains.

I ordered Dave's #3 flavour which consist of 1 Chicken Tender, 1 Chicken Slider and fries and I could respectfully say it is one of the best I had in the Bay Area. In comparison to chick-fil-a if you like spice and very juicy chicken Dave's got it. The service is also great and the store inside despite being in Oakland it is really well maintained. It opens 11 am - 11 pm. Highly recommended to go to for lunch and dinner.

Finally! A great tasting chicken spot with a variety of spice levels and on top of that they have options for 1 sandwich or 2 or if you prefer tenders.. Oh and of course comes with fries, which are also very good 👌 And the best part is you can get 2 sandwiches and fries for $20! Most places will only give you 1 sandwich. The only other place that I would say competes with this is Kowbird in west Oakland. They are both very good places, definitely coming back!
