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.

The spicy tenders are pretty good. Had the number one and it came with a slice of bread per tender to make myself a mini slider. Their sauce is pretty good.

Medium was the perfect spice level for me to get a little kick without letting the chicken's natural flavors get lost in the spice.

Never heard of Dave's until we saw it pop up in Oceanside but it's so good! They know their spice- even mild has a good kick. Fries are perfectly crispy and well cooked. Chicken is juicy and sandwich is thoroughly enjoyable- not too big!

Big fan of Dave's - I find there is equal amounts of flavor as there is with spice (unlike some other hot chicken places that are all spice and no flavor). However PLEASE try to be consistent on heat levels! I always order Hot and some days it's solid and consistent with other locations and other days it's way spicier which totally ruins the enjoyment.
