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's a different chicken sandwich than the others out there, so the sheer adventure of it should draw you in. We tried the 2 slider and fries option and we had split opinions. My wife had the medium level and I had the hot... and let me tell you, the hot was too hot for me! (For reference, I like spicy garlic at Buffalo Wild Wings, but anything past that is too much) Next time, I'll go with the medium and I'll let you know. Though it was hot, the flavors were unique, both with the breading spices and with the actual sauce.... read more

Great food, good prices and nice place. I always try the hottest spice level when I find a new restaurant like this so I went with the Reaper chicken. This is the first place I've ordered "Reaper" flavor and actually GOT. Reaper. On par with eating a fresh pepper. I'll definitely be back. It's nice to finally find a spicy chicken sandwich that's legit spicy!

Wow! Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We're delighted to know you enjoyed your experience with us. Do come back soon
Maybe it's because it just opened, maybe it's because they were busy and they had to make ton of the sandwiches fresh, but whatever it was, man, did my brother and I love my first experience at Daves and his now 2nd time. We both got 2 sliders. I got it with cheese and one with medium spice and one with mild spice. For someone's who's not huge on spice, they both were enjoyable for me and not overbearing. The sliders come with slaw, and daves sauce inside, plus some pickles, cheese is an additonal cost. I'd definitely reco... read more

My husband is always complaining there's no chicken sandwich in our area hot enough. I got him their hottest sandwich (Reaper). He's been popping tums since. Mission accomplished! Menu isn't anything super special but it's solid.

So heard a new fried chicken place opened so I thought I'd try it out. I walked in and the atmosphere was very festive, music playing and smiles from the crew working. They were all very nice and helpful. Don't order food online go in and get the full experience. In today's dark times it was a nice break. I ordered the chicken strip and slider meal at medium level the heat level goes higher. Medium is good place to get a good taste of everything. I was full at end. They offered honey which was good on chicken. The fries were... read more

Finally!!!! It is everything I hoped for and more! I got medium because I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but next time I'll be getting extra hot. Chicken is tender and seasoning is delicious. The slider is great but the tender stands up on its own. I love the atmosphere in restaurant too. Service was top notch, very polite. I'll be a frequent customer for sure.

We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!
Finally, one close to home went there on opening day and I was really surprised (pleasantly) to see it full and busy (hopefully it stays that way as I really want this place to succeed; albeit for my own selfish reasons as a Dave's junkie. Ha). The atmosphere, ambience, and service was right on par. All the staff there were SUPER NICE and helpful. We sat down next to the couple that owns the spot and we got to know them, super cool, nice, and down to earth folks. They even got us a complimentary milkshake, thank you again... read more
