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.

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.

Hey Anh, Looks delicious! Thank you for the photo and the awesome review! -Julie
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

My family and I stumbled on this gem during a quick visit to D.C. and was pleasantly surprised by how cute it is inside. Kelly took our order and she was so sweet. She was patient as it was our first time in and I really enjoyed our interaction. Our food was so fresh and delicious- the Mac and cheese didn't survive the table. An employee JR helped my daughter bring our order to the table and I really loved how he walked around and checked on the guests and made sure everything was tidy, he was so helpful to everyone and his ... read more

Greatest. Chicken sandwich. Ever. This place hits different. This was the second time I came here the first time I came here I ordered I ordered Dave's #3 which was 1 tender + 1 slider w/ fries. It was so good I had to come back. The sandwich comes with kale slaw that really compliments the sandwich. I usually don't like slaw but theirs are really good. I love the Dave's sauce too I always order extra. After this I went back and order a whole box of sandwiches with my boyfriend since we live so far. The service didn't take l... read more

The chicken is well seasoned and tender, there are multiple spice levels. Service is always great, workers are friendly and fast. The decor is super cute as well
I wasn't sure what to expect because this place has been hyped up so much but I really enjoyed the food the chicken was juicy and flavorful and it's not greasy they could add a little more coleslaw and sauce tho there was barely any on my sandwich the fries were tasty as well we went in at 1pm and it was empty so we got our food fast the Cashier was very friendly and nice overall a good experience I would get it again
