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 time trying Dave's hot chicken and it was solid. The place is clean and my order came out fairly quick. I got Dave's #4 hot, which isn't really hot, but it's seasoned well along with the fries! They're generous with the pickles too

We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!

We weren't sure if the tenders would be filling enough on its own, but they are MASSIVE. The Hot Box - Tenders ($40) also comes with 5 slices of toast, so it was quite filling. Mild is the perfect level for me, where I can enjoy the spice without being in any pain, but I might try the next level in the future. I really appreciate how hot the chicken stays, even after driving home. The crispy exterior and tender inside paired with the Dave's sauce that has just a hint of sweetness, ugh my favorite.

This is a new location and the store is very nice and clean. The art and decor of this store is top notch and I love the design! I've only picked up food for delivery (for someone else) so I can't give that a rating. The attendant said hi and asked me what I needed right away. The place was not so busy when I came in. I will come back to try it though because I know it will be good. I've tried Dave's in other LA location but not this one just yet. Will report back after I tried it! 

Business response:

Aww we are so glad that you enjoyed your meal and that we were able to create a memorable experience for you. We hope that you come back again soon!

Simple menu, clean inside, plenty of seating and parking next to Mimi's Cafe. The extra hot was underwhelming so I'll try reaper next time. Ordered the slider with fries but substituted the fries for kale slaw at no additional up charge. The food took awhile but it's consistent each time so we return. I like they serve extra pickles. 

Business response:

We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!

Solid fried chicken joint Ordered online. Wait was unfortunately 15min from quoted time Tenders and chicken sandwich were solid Mac n cheese was quite flavorless sadly, but nothing a good squeeze of ketchup couldn't fix! Would have given 4/5 stars but the slow unapologetic service knocked them off a bit. Especially with many nearby chicken joints around that are better 

Business response:

We're sorry we didn't meet your expectations. Help us improve and earn those extra stars. Share your concerns at www.tellusdirect.com/DHC. Thank you.
