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.

While she was in town visiting, my mom brought home Dave's Hot Chicken. I was able to try the two piece chicken strip meal with fries and toast. Everything was delicious. The strips are huge and amounts to 3-4 regular sized strips. Two people who do not eat as much could probably share for lunch. Make sure to give it a try! 

Business response:

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

My last visit to Dave's, when I discovered the company had discontinued their "Not Chicken" line, was so distressing that I started regularly searching "Dave's Not Chicken" online in the deranged hope that it might someday make a triumphant return. Well, my desperate search was not in vain. A few weeks ago I saw a post on Reddit that Dave's Not Chicken had returned, and was thrilled to see it back on the menu at this location. Today I was in Lake Mary so I stopped in for my beloved cauliflower slider and delicious fries. T... read more

Okay so, we definitely frequent the Altamonte location since we find ourselves over that way a bit more, but this location is great as well. My kids love their chicken! I usually opt for either the mild or medium heat levels, but my one child always gets the hot and he's a fan. Don't sleep on the mac and cheese!! Get extra pickles and Dave's sauce... It's so good. 

Business response:

Love that your family has their go-to spice levels! And totally agree—extra pickles and Dave’s Sauce are a must. Hope to see you all again soon!
