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.

Food: 4/5 - 2 tenders and fries: Pretty good! Much different than Popeyes and KFC; really enjoyed the fried chicken and the seasoning on the chicken was so nice. The fries were really good fresh too; I'd definitely get it again! Service: 4/5 it was a little slow because it was busy, but everyone was friendly! Ambiance: 3/5 given its downtown, it wasn't very clean. It wasn't dirty, but it wasn't clean. However, this is similar to other large franchises in the area, so not specific to them.

Really good, fresh made to order, hot fried chicken tenders. Please note they do not offer any bone-in fried chicken. Dipping sauce and pickles are outstanding, crinkle cut fries are really enjoyable. Usually order the slider and tender combo, and I go for pretty hot, which is really, really, really, really hot! If you have a craving for spicy fried chicken, you cannot go wrong here :) Service is fast and friendly, ambiance is clean and energetic.

After seeing the photos from this restaurant on yelp I had great expectations for the food. However, the portions I got looked a lot smaller than other reviews. The cheese in the mac and cheese tasted like nacho cheese, which wasn't exactly what I was hoping to get for the price. I did like the different options for spice level of the chicken. You do have to pay extra for cheese on your sandwich. $27 Canadian dollars for the 2 slider meal with mac and cheese instead of fries. However our friend ordered fries and they were se... read more

I will say the chicken is on point, super delicious, large pieces, i ordered the double sandwich meal, the buns were very fresh the chicken had a nice light batter which was perfectly spiced, i chose hot, and it was adequately hot, nothing you'd be fanning your mouth over, just hot enough. The chicken was really good, i thoroughly enjoyed it. My only complaint was the fries, its just kind of disappointing to see how much care they take in their chicken and then the fries seem like an afterthought, they were simply frozen cri... read more

If you're a fried chicken enthusiast, Dave's is a must-try for its deliciously satisfying and consistently excellent offerings. Sliders v good. I tried the hot and was pretty impressed. Will come back to give Reaper a try

Surprised it took me this long to try this place out. Ordered the Dave's #3 which is 1 tender, 1 slider and fries (17.99). Really really good. They have a ton of different spice levels which is nice for a relatively low spice tolerant individual like myself. Chicken is seasoned very very well, nice, big tasty chicken in both the slider and with the tender. It is a heavy meal especially with the fries too (which are also seasoned). They have their own kind of spicy mayo dip which is delicious to dip the chicken or fries into ... read more
