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.

Decided to go here after an amazing experience while traveling to the Boston Area. The food was decent, but noticeably not as good as we got in Boston. One of the sliders had a noticeably smaller portion...even my son mentioned it. Cashiers were nice and helpful. May go back again, but it's not looking good at this point.

Staff greeted you when you came in, food was incredible. If you like super hot spices, I recommend to start with hot and work your way up. Will be back. Feed our crew after moving our son and girlfriend into their new apartment. A large fry was enough for 6 people.

Dave's was alright. I enjoyed my meal but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it again. The tenders are actually spicy. I recommend sticking with hot. The fries were seasoned nicely, the mac and cheese was basic, but the milkshake was really nice and creamy. Download the app before going to get a free milkshake! The service was good and the ambiance was nice.

Chicken was ok if you like dry rub, but the service at the counter was less than accommodating. If you want any kind of customer service here, forget it. The manager was very personable, but the staff acted like they didn't care if you were there or not. Won't be my first choice for sure.

Sooo tasty and worth the hype! I like that this dining area is very roomy and kept clean. The food came out pretty fast and was so delicious. We got hot and it was the perfect spice level and not too spicy. The seasoning and juiciness was insane.

We drove over an hour to eat this delicious chicken tenders. They have different levels of spiciness, I ordered the medium and although it was delicious it was spicy. Juicy, tasty chicken! Brought my siblings who don't do spice, and they enjoyed the soulful tenders.

Dave's exceeded expectations for me! I have been searching for good Nashville Hot Chicken and nowhere in Maryland made it right until Dave's! The chicken was juicy, hot and flavorful! Crunchy on the outside with the exact right amount of spice. I ordered the hot and medium. I will do hot every time from now on but i like spice. If you don't, go mild. Inside was fun decor. Chickens in different costumes. The DC 14th St location was an old theater so this played into that. Clean restaurant and bathrooms. You order at the fr... read more
