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.

Went and placed a large order and I ended up messing up on it. They worked with me to fix the order with making a big fuss and made sure that everything was the way it was supposed to be. I really appreciate their kindness and patience. The chicken was good compared to other Dave's this tasted more fresh and was still hot when I ate it.

I ordered the 2 slider combo (medium spice) with fries, and let me tell you... LIFE CHANGING. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, and that spice? Hits just right without being overwhelming. And the sauce? I could drink it. No joke.

From the second I walked in, I knew I was in for something serious. The vibe is loud, fun, and unapologetically bold--just like the food. I ordered the 2 slider combo (medium spice) with fries, and let me tell you... LIFE CHANGING. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, and that spice? Hits just right without being overwhelming. And the sauce? I could drink it. No joke. The pickles and slaw on the sliders add the perfect crunch and balance to the heat. And the fries? Golden, seasone... read more

To get straight to the point, Dave's is alright. Nothing great, but nothing awful. I love Nashville Hot Chicken with a passion, and this spot just did not hit the way I hoped. Especially with how popular of a chain this spot is, I was just disappointed! I got their sliders with Mac and cheese and fries to go. The order was made pretty quick which was a plus! I took it back to my place to eat and was pleased when I opened the box! It looked great. However, taking my bite, it was just... meh. The chicken was not that spicy (... read more

Great tasty sandwiches and lots of fries. What's not to like?!?!? Two sandwiches for less than $20 bucks. So much better than the competition.
