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.

I can't complain about this place! Every location I've been to, the foods been great and this particular location is very sanitary. Sadly, I don't think someone is drying off the tables, so they get sticky. But other than that, I loved eating here and would do it again.

Just ok. Fast food chicken. The no sauce is dry and not good. Liked the loaded fries best. No parking but street and walk.

Food was hot, fresh, and perfectly crispy--full of flavor and absolutely delicious! The chicken had an amazing crunch, and the seasoning was spot-on. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and quick to answer all my questions. Service was fast and efficient. The restaurant was clean and had a great vibe--definitely a place I'd come back to. Highly recommend!

The manager was super nice but the employees have been consistently rude and it makes me feel awkward about coming back just because I don't want to talk to them but the food is really good

First time getting to try this chicken spot out. Have been wanting to try this for a few years but rarely in the area at a convenient time.

Will definitely be back if I'm ever there at the right time!

It's kind of weird getting ready to give a very middling review on a place that people seem to either not like or fall all over themselves to praise. That's what I'm about to do! For our Mother's Day lunch treat this year, I thought I'd try Dave's. I kept hearing all of these great things about it, and people loved that it was here. I felt like I must be missing out on something really good! Was I? No. We got 3 meals at a time when it was not at all busy. The chicken was..... fine. That might be a little generous as it al... read more
