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.

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
The food is very nice I love the variety in heat & the portion size will leave you feeling full and satisfied!
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
now that we as a nation are on the topic of hot chicken, I did indeed recently finally try daves.... - this place is alllll over my tik tok so I had pretty high hopes for a chain -I got the two piece with one hot and one medium, the hot had the type of kick that burns your lips but it didn't bring it too much to my tastebuds, the medium was not spicy at all but I will give them props for how much seasoning is crispy fried into these boys - the breading had a nice crunch even a few hours later and the chicken wasn't dry even... read more
Really good hot chicken sandwich. I got the combo with the 1 chicken sandwich (I added cheese) and fries. I got medium heat level and it tasted great and not too spicy. Next time I'll try the hot level. Lots of inside seating and service was good.
Best fried chicken I have ever tasted. I tried this first in LA during a business trip. Then especially drive to New York once for it, and was anxiously waiting for the DC location to open. Please open more locations at airports. Can't wait to visit again soon.
Found this on Instagram and I just happened to be driving by on my way to a part time gig. There is a guy standing out front yelling "Dave's Hot Chicken". He deserves a raise for the attention he draws to this place. I decided to stop in mainly because of him. It was around 7pm and the place was EMPTY. I should have known. It took about 15 mins to get my food but everything was piping hot. I ordered the Dave's 2 tenders meal. Instagram 5 stars. Reality, 3 stars. Long chicken breast on a Hawaiian roll. Nothing special.
