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.

Good, decent, Nashville fried chicken. But beware, they will ask you for a tip for fast food with no table service. They will directly ask for the tip on their payment system before you ever receive your food, making for an uncomfortably implied quid pro quo.

I was so excited to try Daves. We ordered at kiosk, we were not sure about the spice. I asked after and the gal said we could order with lite spice, the spice and salt were over load and we didn't eat much of our sliders. The top loaded fries were great, I picked the chicken off, love Dave sauce, pickles and honey. May not go back, ordering was confusing re: the salty spice.

I've never had a meal that I didn't like. We just ordered two sliders, fries, cheese fries and coleslaw. -- lite mild is preferred since it's slightly spicy and still edible. We ordered via door dash. I recommend going in person so that your fries don't get soggy. It's an easy quick dinner.

The best chicken I would ever eat in my life. Normally I make my own chicken burgers but on Black Friday, I decided to drop by. Not a bad place at all if you don't count the high prices. In the reality no one cares about the high prices because you are paying for good taste. Everyone who works here is very nice and are always very cheerful to help you. This may be a chicken joint but is very popular. There are plenty of places to sit if you come at the right time. You see a mix of both dine in and to go people. Chicken comes... read more

This joint is really fun with street art on all the walls. It sets a great vibe for hot chicken. Wonder of these images are standard in all branches? Orders may be taken by a friendly sever at the counter. Being our 1st visit, he recommended the Medium heat level. It was perfect though I think I can go up to Hot next time. We ordered Dave's #4- Slider & fries for $10.99 The fried chicken was bigger than the bread! It was crunchy outside, moist inside. One slider was super filling! It came with seasoned fries which were su... read more

I have been to 3 or 4 locations and have found the quality consistent. The " hot" spiciness is my favorite with a nice warm "mouth burn).

Came on Drake's birthday where you get a free chicken slider. I love free food but it's not a quick service. It is pretty chaotic on this day. I arrived a little before 12pm, the line was out the door. It was very crowded and busy. I think I waited a total of 40 minutes (20 minutes in line and 20 minutes for food to be ready). I recalled coming here in the past when it was NOT Drake's birthday. The chicken slider is not an actual slider but more like a sandwich. I think the chicken slider is pretty good. It has different s... read more

Everything about this place smacks. The workers are nice, the food is bomb and it's not horribly expensive. And man their special sauce is so fire. Only thing I will say is it can be incredibly difficult to open the special sauce packages

This Dave's is always packed and the food is hot and crispy. There is sometimes not enough seating and the wait can be long (~20 minutes).
