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.

This place is a little spot that has great chicken sandwiches. They offer different levels of spicy. Food was fresh and service was great. I will be back again
Great first visit to Dave's! First, the staff is so dang friendly...Kind and full of recommendations on heat of the chicken and meal size. The place has a cool vibe... love the garage door type opening to the outside seating area. We got our food... Looked amazing... As I expected. What I didn't expect was for the fries to be so incredible! Soft and hot in the middle with a crisp, almost a little crunch on the outside layer. I cannot wait to get them again and dip them in the Dave's sauce. I like a little burn, but not ... read more
Omgosh!!! What really needs to be said about this place?!? The food is nothing short of AMAZING!! I had the chicken strips meal, mild with seasoned fries and kale slaw, my son had the strips (reaper! - must sign a waiver!) and my DIL had the mild chicken sandwich meal. The chicken is so moist, hot and delicious! We are already planning our next visit!
So glad they finally built one in tampa so we don't have to drive to Orlando for this place! It's always packed inside. Food is good! Lots of food!
Serving was good, food was good , tables were a little messy, but loved the pickles and honey
I'm hooked... this fried chicken has take the top spot of all fried chicken. This is hands down the best hot chicken I've ever had. It's got a little bit of heat with a little bit of sweet. Damn!!!! I always go for the #1 hot with the coleslaw in lieu of fries with an extra Dave sauce and 4 honey's. (2) per chicken. Also, these tenders aren't your normal tender. These are like full blown breast. I'm keeping this place in my weekly rotation for sure.
The food was good. I got the extra hot chicken slider and the hot tender. My mouth is on fire. It gave hot. The tender was nice and crispy both served with pickles. The fries were ok they had a nice seasoned flavor and the slaw really complimented the slider. The Dave's sauce is really good. Service is out of this world. I stopped in on one of my food deliveries and the manager or owner immediately approached me to ask if I had an order. I advised yes and he took the order and had the kitchen start working on it immediately.... read more
Chidi and Ryker had great customer service and they have great food. The environment of the place was great as well.
The quality of the food exceeded my expectations. There is a large variety of heat from mild to inferno. The quality of the chicken far exceeded all the others in this food space. The french fries and the macaroni and cheese were great side dishes as is the coleslaw. The service was welcoming and efficient. The walls are covered with elaborate painting full of fun designs and colors. It's great to see high quality competition to Chick Fil a.
