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.

The food was delicious!! The chicken was perfectly juicy and crunchy. I got the large but I would have had plenty with the regular or maybe even the small! I took about half home. The cashier we had was very pleasant. The decor around the place was graffiti themed which I thought was pretty cool. I know it opened over half a year ago but it was still pretty busy. Overall I am definitely looking forward to coming back and I would recommend this place to anyone up north who wants some "Nashville style" chicken

We were craving fried chicken and this is a relatively new restaurant in the area so we decided to try it and pick it up for dinner. I'm not a huge fan of hot spicy food so I got plain fingers and fries and my hubs went all out with the HOT. Boy, was that a mistake for him! His eyes immediately teared up and he was feeling the heat. He said next time he'd go for medium. I liked that the batter was nice and crispy and it was refreshing to eat REAL fried chicken and not crappy nuggets from chains. We will see how the next ou... read more

Really good. I got the hot chicken tender sliders combo. It was $14.99 for two with fries. The fries were sooo good. The chicken tenders were not at all what I expected. I was in love with the size and the quality of the chicken. They were fried with perfection. Extra extra crispy on the outside with a good mount of moisture on the inside. Thick and delicious pieces of chicken. It was spicy. Not too much that I couldn't handle. I didn't really taste anything else aside from the spicy rub. I was looking for other seasonings ... read more

Went for a lunch meeting to check out another hot chicken spot in the area and though I'm not particularly a fan of slider style sandwiches, these were good. Instead of getting a breast or thigh sandwich like most places, they serve it up as tenders. The chicken definitely had a kick as you went up in the heat level. I got one as 'hot' and the other 'xtra hot' to have comparison and you definitely will feel/taste the difference between those two levels. The crinkle cut fries were a good compliment and though I can't quit... read more

This is my first time going to a Dave's. I didn't even realize it was a chain until after I was set on going there. I have to say, I was very impressed with this location. It was very clean, organized, and the vibe was very relaxed. The staff were helpful, and the service was SUPER quick. I don't think it took more than a couple of minutes to get our food. Onto the food. I love hot chicken sandwiches. I was looking forward to seeing how this spot stacked up against some other places in Buffalo. The difference here is that ... read more
