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.

The reviews made us hesitant to give Dave’s a try, but I’m sure glad we checked it out. Absolutely amazing food with as much kick as you can handle. The building could be a little better, but I appreciate them using an existing structure rather than adding the crowded areas around Tucson. Staff was friendly and professional. Highly recommended if you want some good chicken with real flavor.
Finally got to try this place and I absolutely enjoyed coming here. Chill atmosphere and the food was really good. I wouldn't compare it to any other food joint. The cheese fries and seasoning on the chicken were my favorite.
Early afternoon on a Friday I ordered a #2 which was two sliders with extra hot sauce, fries and drink. The register prompted me to give a tip, which I personally find to be a repulsive practice because it undermines the intent of a tip when the point of sale is prior to services rendered. Had I known it's all self service, I would have forgone a tip. Regardless, I gave a $2.40 tip which totalled $19.77 for my lunch. I haven't paid that much for a lunch at a fast food place in a long time, so you can imagine I had high expec... read more
I waited 10 minutes in line to order and then 17 minutes to receive the food. The service was slow but the staff are friendly and attentive. The restaurant is not well maintained, there's trash under the tables, the ice machine didn't work so there was leaking water on the floor, and the trash bin was overflowing. My main issue is that the chicken is SO INCREDIBLY salty I had to tear the skin off and even then I had to throw the food away. Super disappointed with the food, it is way too salty!
Disappointed at best. I had high hopes for this place, but the reality is it's a hot mess. Let me preface this review with the fact that I ran an incredibly successful chicken finger restaurant for a mom and pop chain for years so I've got experience in this exact industry. Got in line at 11:20am, stood there for 10 minutes with 3 people in front of me, then it took another 18 minutes after my order went in for them to call me up to come get my food. 28 minutes from the point of getting in line to receiving my food is absu... read more
