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.

It was pretty busy when I went and we had to wait a little bit for the food (maybe 20 min). Overall, pretty decent experience, staff was friendly and attentive. The menu is fairly basic and to the point but the chicken is good. (Better than Raising Cane's in my opinion.) I only got the mild sauce and that was plenty for me - didn't need to raise the heat level for me (there are tons to choose from). There is outdoor seating available. It's a fast good spot, so the ambiance was fairly basic - very typical for this spot. T... read more
From the lines, the questions, the vibe-you'd think Owings Mills got its first 5star Michelin restaurant. Close. We got Drakes or Ushers or someone's favorite hot chicken. It's called Dave's Hot Chicken, but hot is a euphemism for hellfire. Go for the toddler level fire and you will still be plenty hot. I'd give Dave the award for biggest wings in town (sorry Cane). Crinkle cut fries were fried right. Chicken was huge and crispy, although I suspect it was frozen at one point of its life cycle. Soda machine had many of the... read more
Please be patient when going to a location that is just opening. They are likely a little bit overwhelmed by the crowds. Everyone is entitled to put whatever review they want, but how about we extend some grace and compassion to these folks that are working hard. Mistakes will happen and will hopefully be rectified. If you had a negative experience, give them another chance in the near future. It's a solid place and a good addition to the area.
Tried this before in Orlando so I was excited to see that they opened one up here. I was weary because the Kanes in other cities is amazing and trash in MD. Dave did not disappoint. It was exactly how it was before. Actually better. The service was great. Food was hot. The outdoor seating is nice. The dining area inside is a little small. I feel like this place would get packed fast. My chicken was spicy. Stay consistent with this and I will definitely be back.
Welcome to the neighborhood! The use of the term "slider" is laughable. These are whole entire sandwiches! Delicious ones. Adhere to the word "Hot" and proceed with caution. The heat levels range from no spice to Reaper. I can't handle a ton of heat so I went with mild and it was just enough heat so I could taste the quality of the chicken. The fries were average as was mac and cheese. The Dave's sauce resembles a mayo/ketchup blend with added sweetness. Nothing super special. ChickFila count your days. Customer service was... read more
The food was great. The line/wait was annoying and there were so many teens but its what you expect from a grand opening. I tried the slider + tender with fries and Mac& cheese. Surprisingly, the fries blew me away. The food overall did not disappoint. 100%I believe this establishment is worth trying. ( Sorry I have no pics of the food- I ate it so quick I didn't realize until I was half way done that I had not taken any pictures)
BEST CHICKEN EVERR!! Definitely exceeded my expectations. Will be back for more!
The place was clean, and they offered a good selection of frozen slushies and ice cream shakes. However, I was disappointed with Dave's Hot Chicken because my son ordered two medium chicken tenders but received one that was hot. This mistake ruined his experience, especially since it was his first time there. I hope they can find a better way to ensure that customers receive the spice level they request in the future. Additionally, the Dave sauce is quite sweet, so I'm not sure if I prefer it over Cane's sauce.
This location recently open so when I visited all the kinks hadn't been ironed out. Ordering food was a bit kaotic, waited appx 10 mins for food. Didn't get any sauce, I wanted to take the chicken w/o anything and it was Bland, no taste IMO
