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 chicken juicy and the crispy coating was spot on perfection. The Mac n cheese on the other hand was not so good. Extremely bland, no flavor :( French fries were crispy good. Service was good. Plenty of seating not too noisy.

Have not been to a Dave's before. First visit. I ordered a two slider meal and soft drink. It came with some pickles, seasoned fries, sauce, two slices of bread and two good size pieces of seasoned chicken. First the pickles were very good. I am a lover of fries, these were worthy. Well seasoned, not over cooked. Two slices of white bread. I guess you could make a sandwich. The chicken was different than I've had. It was soaked in seasoned. So it was very moist and tender. I really enjoyed it. I selected one m... read more
