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.

In a world now full of hot chicken options, Dave’s is at the top of my favorites list. I am obsessed with the sliders. I always add cheese and one is enough for lunch. Those fries are magical and I cannot figure out why. They’re crispy and soft at the same time until the bottom of the box! The manager, Joey, is awesome and the staff is great.

I got the mild slider and it was a good spice level for someone who doesn’t eat too much spicy food. It was good, I’ll be coming back! They have indoor and outdoor seating.
I got the #3. Its a slider with a chicken tender. I got level medium for my slider and level hot for my tender. I have to say, I have been to crimson coward and howling rays, this place beats all of them. The seasoning is not only a great level of spicy, but it actually has good flavor. It doesn't just taste like paprika. The chicken was crunchy and juicy. The price is also way better than the others. Two people can easily eat for a little less than $30 (we brought our own drinks).

The taste wasn’t quite what we liked, but the atmosphere and the service was good. I do wish they didn’t ask for tip for fast food.
Excellent chicken sandwiches! They are NOT that spicy at all. Even the reaper one wasn't that spicy. Super delicious and juicy, though. Fries are well seasoned, crispy, delicious. The Mac n cheese was basic. Only downside is, this place is filled with teenagers. Not Dave's fault though... We'll still come back.
