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.

Dave's is delicious! Chicken is always flavorful and crispy. Fries are seasoned perfectly and usually pretty crunchy. Grab some extra Dave's Sauce, that stuff goes quick. I get a hot tender and slider (with cheese), although the medium seems to be plenty hot for most. Mac and cheese is decent, but I only crave it occasionally. Staff are friendly and the restaurant is always clean.
Overall a great experience but really confused by the food. Its caked in dry rub seasoning, stains your hands, and just seems like an unfinished product. There’s a confusing hint of sugar in the rub…. Not a fan. Was really hoping for something else like seasoned batter that was crispy and flavored. Not a dry rub caked fried chicken. 5 stars for service and atmosphere. 5 stars for juiciness of the chicken but 1 star for the food presentation and cooking style.
Customer service was great! The flavor was really good and the chicken was really juicy!
Super cool murals inside and solid chicken to make you feel like the king you truly are. There are few thing that bring me happiness and a chain restaurant with only fried chicken is one of them. Alicia was working and was super kind and absolutely wonderful at explaining the menu for me!
Very disappointed with my visit today there were only 3 orders ahead and I waited 15 minutes. Unfortunately the fries were Luke warm and not fresh. The sandwich was fine. The milkshake was not good and I got a refund. The customer service was fine. I was expecting hot fresh food especially for the wait. Edit: they reached out and comped me I really appreciate that
