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.

Typically do not like fast food, too dry & flavorless. This place is an exception. I don't even like chicken as it is often prepared very "dry" and bland. But this place makes chicken - and supporting ingredients/sauces - like I never tasted before. Absolutely full of flavor, juicy, greasy (in a good way) and delicious. Been here a handful of times & can say the food, service & consistency is A+++.

I understand the hype. I support the hype. WOW. It's seems like such a simple meal but it was sooooo good. Their menu offers a variety of chicken tenders, breaded in different heat levels. We tried the #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries $11.99 & the #4 1 Slider w/ Fries add Cheese $10.48. The slider was delicious, served on a burger bun with slaw, Dave's sauce, and pickles. I tried the "hot," spice level and it was definitely hot, but still enjoyable. The sandwich wasn't as greasy as I had assumed it would be, the texture was perfect, t... read more

My first time in Dave's chicken. Chicken is delicious. I never experienced white sandwich bread that they cannot toast it or grill it.

Had no idea what the menu was or the 'big deal'. It was tasty. I got a mild chicken sandwich and medium tender. Wooo wee medium is too spicy. But mild was just perfect. Was crispy and juicy, fries crispy. Nothing worse than soggy fries. Enjoy!

Food tastes great, my 8 year old enjoyed the chicken strips, but he wasn't a fan of the Mac and Cheese. I had a chicken sandwich with some kick to it and fries that were great. I would recommend this place, just be warned it is a bit pricey.
