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.

Outstanding food, outstanding customer service--just absolutely OUTSTANDING! This location is very clean and well kept. Jessica, the employee working at the counter, was very helpful considering it was our first visit, and also very friendly. Our food came out within minutes of placing our order--it looked amazing and tasted even better! Hot, delicious and full of flavor. Whatever seasoning they use--it's on point! And the sauce is the perfect way to cool it down. We noticed that when Jessica was not taking orders at the cou... read more

Sliders were great - more the size of a typical sandwich. Seasoning on fries and chicken was very tasty. Would recommend over the other chicken places.

My kids really love this place, so I gave it a shot. I would like to say I've eaten all over the south at A LOT of hot chicken places. Dave's offers the sandwich and chicken tenders, you can spice it up how ever you want. I can take the heat, but found the medium to be enough. The chicken was breaded great, and not overcooked. My only suggestion is that they consider offering different sauces, as one just isn't enough variety for a true foodie. The service was good, and the place is casual and clean.

waited about 20 minutes to get my order when i finally asked where my order was they said someone "picked it up" and they'd make it fresh.. the cashier came back and said it also never appeared on their screen so which one is it? the cashier did offer us free drinks for waiting which is the only reason why i am giving this place is 5 stars. things happen in life but it's the way we handle things that show why we support these places. The employees always provide GREAT customer service and don't seem judgy.. Great Job Daves o... read more

one of my new fave spots! im so glad to see a new chicken sandwich spot in temecula. i was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype and it truly has! im usually not a coleslaw person but i actually really like this one in the sand which. the chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly. the fries were also very yum! the service was pretty good. i was greeted right when i walked in. the restaurant is quite small for how busy it was. the inside filled up very quickly but luckily there was outdoor seating. will definitely be back.
