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.

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.

Kids loved the food. Fast service. I personally was not that excited. I think they are much better chicken sandwiches out there. It is really crispy checken which is great. I really like spicy food but the there is something with the spice they use which does not appeal to my taste (maybe is only me but it feels very little flavor and just brute force spice).

Make no mistake about this place, it's spicy as all heck. The fries have chili powder on them, the aioli is spiced and of course so is the chicken. I'm weak when it comes to spicy so I opted for a step above mild. I was hurting for two days. The chicken was heavenly with moist white breast meat with just a light breading . I appreciated everything was made to order fresh. The fries were so hot and fresh which kept drawing me into their heat which I regretted. (I never was able to finish those). I loved the sandwiches and... read more

One of my favorite chicken places I was happy to hear they opened this new one, I get the 2 slider combo and was skeptic of it being only 2 tenders, but it definitely was filling. I tried cheese on it this time and didn't care for it, seems like they don't melt it at all. Best spice level is hot for sure unless you really want the kick of extra hot. Not a fan of coleslaw nor pickles usually but I love it on this sandwich. And you HAVE to get the honey packets on the side, makes the sandwich.
