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.

Walked in and immediately we were greeted with a warm hello and smile. She asked if it was our first time in and we said yes. She explained their menu and the levels of heat in the chicken. I'm not a spice girl anymore so we chose lite mild. I can't imagine how hot Reaper must be!! Dining area was very clean and we loved the Illini decor. Dave's sauce is a definite go to and their Mac and cheese is comfort food to the max! Overall 5 stars!!!

Quick and very enjoyable seasoned chicken. You get to choose your level of hot and fries and sauce added to the overall meal. A little high in price for tenders but the it's not your small man tenders, so understandable. A good safe pick if you enjoy chicken tenders or sliders.

The food was delicious, but what impressed me the most was the service. All the employees I encountered went above and beyond to be sure we had everything we needed and/or wanted.

Service was above average. Chicken was incredible and full of seasoning as well as the fries. It's expensive but the bites are worth it.

Every time I travel over to Champaign my daughter insist on getting some Dave's Hot Chicken! I never tried until last weekend. I have to say it is pretty darn good! Had the mild bites and they were very tasty. Fries were fresh and good! Can not imagine going past medium on there heat level!!! Lady behind counter is the only reason they didn't get 5 stars. I get everyone has a bad day!! But you got to deliver on customer service at all levels. Can make or break some places. All in all I would try again next time I am in... read more
