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.

We ordered the Dave's #2 and #3, two sliders and fries, one slider / chicken tender and fries. The fries were perfectly seasoned and tender while being the right amount of crisp. It's warmth paired perfectly with the thousand island. Honestly, the #2 with two sliders are more than enough to feed two people. We got a slider in medium and mild, for me, medium was the perfect punch of flavor while not being too overwhelming. My only gripe with the sliders is that the temperature distribution is weird, with the bottom half, i... read more

1 slider and fries is enough to fill me up, even though it doesn't look like it. That being said, I always order 2 sliders. I don't normally do super spicy but hot and extra hot are totally fine for a kick. I think hot is my sweet spot but once I made the horrible mistake with ordering the reaper. It was so hot I had to wash the chicken to even make it edible. I felt like I was dying. As long as I don't get reaper, I'm coming back for more. Oh! If you take it to-go, vent the box because the fries get soggy. 

Business response:

Wow! Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We're delighted to know you enjoyed your experience with us. Do come back soon

So Dave's Hot Chicken made it to Santa Clara! honestly, I'm surprised. There's a lot of restaurants here but how many Hot Chicken spots? Not many! Maybe outside of SC so yes, it's surprising! The first location I've been to was the one in Sunnyvale and I've been ordering the same thing since. 2 tenders medium combo - flavor and crispiness never disappoints. I'm glad it's pretty consistent from different visits and city. It's odd that their combo doesn't come with a drink and only fries. I like spicy but medium spice lev... read more

Recently gave this place a try for the first time. Ordered the #3 Combo with No Spice for my mom and brother and their #4 Combo with Medium Spice for myself. Both my mother and brother noted how juicy the chicken was. Needless to say, they loved it. The medium spice was just right for my taste and loved how soft the bun was. The fries were well seasoned and the pickles were good too. Definitely coming back again.

I was curious and decided to try this place out after the gym and the interior is colorful and vibrant, which caught my attention as I walked in. When it comes to service, the workers are very quick. The lady (I'm assuming the manager) is really polite as well since she came to my table to check up how I'm doing. I also got my food pretty fast, which is about less than 5 minutes even though I ordered a tender and slider along with fries (#3) and asked them to make it mild. I like how there's some sweetness in my meal along w... read more
