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.

The Team Moms for LC Varsity Baseball ordered take out catering for our Senior night. Dave's crew did an amazing job, delivered on time, sandwiches were perfect sizes, fries were great and all the fixings on the side. Perfect menu for the players and families. I would recommend Dave's to anyone looking for a good spicy chicken for any occassion

Chelmsford Location is Great! Friendly staff, clean restaurant, and food is always on point! Kids love it here, who doesn't love a Chicken Sandy & Fries!? Manager is awesome, he is always looking for ways to give back to the Local Community that supports his business. 40 Pack of Sliders & 4 Bundles of Fries is the way to go for any event, perfect amount of food and everyone is happy!

We go to Dave's once a week after school. The staff is always very friendly and funny, the food is great, and the store is clean. We also love their music selection! I highly recommend this location.

WOW! All the negative reviews! We're from Hawaii and I'm in town to take care of some college stuff for my kid. I saw all the 5-star Google reviews and had to fit this spot into my schedule. The spouse and kid are not necessarily chicken fans, but both only had thumbs up for the chicken and fries. Tip: do online ordering if possible. I know from frequenting the spots in my hood that it's always a smart thing to order ahead. Did this using their app, and everything went smoooth. Excited to bring my son to this spot when w... read more

Very expensive and not all that good. Fries were OK not sure what shake was made of but did not taste like ice cream. Other options are better value

I ordered online and the food was ready at the stated time, still hot. A couple of the Dave's Bites were tiny, but these are obviously real chicken and not pressed McNuggets that are a uniform size. In addition to the bites I got two tenders with fries - the fries were crispy without being overdone, both tenders were moist and the hot tender certainly was hot. I haven't had a bad meal here, something I can't say about every place I've eaten.

Chicken breast is good, sauce is next level, but can be VERY spicy if you're not careful!

I originally wanted to go to Popeyes but they were closed/no longer there. I was craving chicken so I went across the street to Dave's. The wait time was a bit long, but good food usually takes time. My drive back home is a 10 min drive. When I ate my chicken sandwich it was warm (only because my drive was 10 mins). I'm sure it was piping hot when I first got it. I chose mild spice only because I didn't know what to expect. Next time I'm going to bump up the spice a notch or two. I owe a coworker a meal for doing a huge ... read more
