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.

First of all, this is the second time I've had Dave's Hot Chicken and it was just as amazing as it was the first time. The place could have been a mess and service awful and I would still give it 5 stars for the food alone. But tonight topped it all because not alone is the inside clean and inviting, they had great music playing (extra brownie points for that), but the service was top notch. We were served by Chas who gave my husband and I the best service. Don't walk, but RUN to this location and consider yourself lucky if ... read more

Business response:

Now that’s the kind of energy we love to hear! Huge shoutout to Chas for making your visit even better. Appreciate the love, and we’ll be ready for you ASAP when you’re back for more!

I have come here consistently and am usually pretty happy with the food received. Yesterday, I visited the drive thru around 6:15p and ordered the #4. Food came cooked, fries were not fresh like they usually are though! I would have usually asked for more, but I'd already left. 3.5 stars, pending return and quality then! The customer service though is literally always 

Business response:

Appreciate you coming back consistently! Sorry the fries weren’t up to the usual standard this time—hopefully, your next visit brings things back to 5-star territory. Looking forward to it!
