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.

That food was more than just good I would love to be buried in it. Honestly the service was awesome the employee that worked with us was good. It is a very clean environment for a fast food resteraunt. The chicken I could eat for days on end and still want to eat more. The mac n cheese isn't that good but the sauce was amazing.

I wouldn't have considered coming here if it weren't for a recommendation by word of mouth. He said he saw a cauliflower sandwich as an option for vegetarians and I half didn't believe him. However, for limited time only, they indeed have "Dave's not chicken" which is made from fresh cauliflower!! Whoo!! Their plates were super great! I was so impressed that their cauliflower "not chicken" was a decent size slice of cauliflower. The fact that there were extra pickles plus extra Dave's sauce was super cool.

I have been to this Dave's four times now. The first experience I had was eating in and I waited over 20 minutes for my order. The chicken was alright and didn't taste as fresh as it could be. The restaurant has a decent sized area for seating inside and outside. The following three times I ordered via the app and the food has been fresher, ready faster, and overall the experience has been better. I recommend downloading their app so you can earn points.

I cannot eat here because I am 100% gluten-free, but my husband got their I want to call it their sampler place...not sure. Anyhow, it came with a chicken sandwich, some chicken nuggs, and fries. He absolutely loved it and has to date not stopped talking about it. We do not have one by our house, but whenever we visit my brother in Oceanside my husband wants to go here. He said that it was a great heat, great sauce, and just overall a great meal.
