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.

Great spot for good quality hot fried chicken. I had the hot slider with fries and I enjoyed all of it. The chicken was great, bun was a delicious potato roll type of bread, and the Cole slaw and pickles paired the heat level perfectly. The French fries were great, especially when dipped into the sauce. The dining area was very clean and everything was in order. I noticed the staff working non stop and their effort showed. I was very impressed overall and would highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area in the mood for... read more

Pro: food delivery app. Con: None. Was looking through the Uber eats app to see what to eat and happen to across Dave hot chicken. After looking at the many positives yelp reviews I decided to give this place a try. I ordered the 1 tender, 1 slider with fries, and small vanilla shake. For the tender I chose the very hot option while for the slider just hot. The fries were season adequately but maybe just slightly too salty. The tender was nice & juicy while burning my tongue with that blazing seasoning xD. The slider was a... read more

We went to Dave's today for lunch. Situated on a corner in NW DC, this place is not hard to miss. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by employees telling you "Welcome to Dave's." The place is SPOTLESS. It was extremely clean, the countertops, the dining area, everywhere. They have some nice decorations and painted murals on the walls and a good mix of top 40 music playing. We ordered the sliders, tenders, cauliflower bites and fries. Yes, the entire menu and it was all good. We chose mild and medium spice for everything ... read more

I recently picked up an order from here. As a pescatarian, I don't often find great substitutes, but this cauliflower slider was the one perfectly crisp! It was also very filling. I definitely could not have eaten more than one! It could've used a little more seasoning, but that's probably because I asked for mild. The place also looked very clean.

Bruh this place is so goooood. I tried to get one slider with cheese and one without but they put it on both and ~I am not mad~ also splurged for the cheese fries which was def lit but I don't think I need to. Quick pickup but they were confused that I bought through Yelp -- I think they were expecting a DoorDash or Uber eats confirmation screen.

the customer service was so sweet the man who took was my was kind and enthusiastic, he made me exited to eat at this spot for the first time and on my way out he made sure everything was okay with my experience. the setting ngl was pretty eerie it was just so big but so empty that it felt like it was missing something but since it used to be a theatre it's alr ig. it just seems to me they should re-design but idk. the 13 dollars for the meal was worth it when i had the first bite. my food did take like 10 minutes though e... read more
