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.

I really just wanted a snack. I do love the single chicken tender option. Using the app, I place the order online. There is plenty of parking out front although with the addition of the coffee and Mendocino Farms a little congested. Inside the location was Poppin.Good music was playing. I approached the counter and gave the female cashier my name. It was ready about a minute later. I ordered a single chicken tender with no spice but normally I do light spice, which is what I prefer.

We ordered pickup from Dave's Hot Chicken and it was very good. Everything was hot when we received it and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. I had the slider and tender combo, and the slider was definitely my favorite part. The sauce on the slider was delicious. The slaw and fries were also very good. Every aspect of our order was correct, down to the type and number of sauces we requested. Great experience and I look forward to ordering from Dave's again!

Business response:

Thanks Miranda! Glad you loved our sliders! They're definitely a hit!

Normally I am not a fast food person but I make expectations for halal chicken and higher quality ingredients. Had the chicken tenders and fries. Very good fries and chicken was great too. The only thing off was the amount of seasoning on the chicken. I am okay with things being hot or spicy. The chicken's texture was caked in spices so you couldn't enjoy it completely amongst the dry clumps. Yikes. Other than that it was a good experience... I used my napkin a lot.

Business response:

Thanks KB glad that you loved it. Sorry about the clumps though! We would love to make this right. Please reach out to us at www.tellusdirect.com/DHC so that we can make it up to you
