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.

First off the chicken was moist and crispy i would give it a 9/10. The service was really good as well I had Noah help me out and he quickly pointed me to order number 3 , I was able to try the slider and tender. The store was also clean. Found Dave's threw the GOTYOU App.

Clean. Simple menu. Like it. Staff is nice! I am a huge Nashville hot chicken fan. I've had hot chicken all over the country, and I have to admit this is one of my favorite. The chicken was crispy and perfectly cooked, the bun was soft and pillowy, the pickles were nice and crispy, and the slaw and sauce offered a perfect flavor. the french fries were great. The service was really really good as well. I got there at about 11:15 AM and within 10 minutes of arriving there was a line nearly out the door. If you're going to go g... read more

Legit hot chicken for a chain. It was a little slow, but expected during a lunch rush, but the chicken as worth the wait. New spot clean and fresh and the staff was actually very engaged and did a great job (rare in Utah). I'm not a fun of the kale slaw, but still pretty good in the slider. I'd have to say a little pricey, but compared to the SLC independent Nashville hot chicken place, it was a better price and value. And they didn't auto top you!!! (Sorry PB... I don't like that you do this to customers). I'll be back to ... read more

We'd heard a lot about DHC and it was yummy, but not as great as I expected. It's nice you can choose your heat level, and they have a very simple menu to choose from. Overall good food, but nothing amazing.

We came in not realizing that it was 5 mins before close. noah was insanely nice, acted like it was no problem at all, and the kitchen whipped us up a delicious slider, fries, and chocolate shake. 10/10 experience and I'm literally planning on coming here tomorrow, mostly because we love noah and hope to see him again.

The best chicken sandwich in town! Service was friendly. Seemed well staffed, which is hard to come by these days. Soft buns and chicken was tender. Great flavor, maybe a little heavy on the cumin if you don't like that flavor. I don't usually like crinkle cut fries but these were excellent. The Mac n cheese was just ok. Nothing special. It's the real wet kind, almost soupy. Milk shake was good, but it's thin. I got used to extra thick I guess. The dipping sauce was very good, and I think should come standard on the slider.... read more

We moved from Nashville 6 years ago and have missed its famous hot chicken. We tried Dave's today, and gave it two thumbs up! I ordered the slider meal; don't let the term "slider" throw you though. This is a full size sandwich! The chicken is to die for, and there's a nice sauce and kale slaw and crisp dill pickles packed inside a toasted bun. The krinkle cut fries were crisp and seasoned, adding a great complement to the sandwich. Finding a hot chicken place that compares to Nashville hot chicken has made my day!

TLDR: average chicken shop, gets the job done. 3 stars due to this being average and acceptable but nothing exceptional or above and beyond The location is in a great spot close to the mall and anything else in the area you could want. The selection is pretty basic with their choices, but not like you need much more in a place that serves fried chicken. I got the mild chicken sandwich and a hot tender, the hot had some kick to it and the mild was great for a quick bite. Worth it to visit once and see what the hype was ab... read more
