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 chicken here is delicious ! The Mac and cheese is bomb and even the fries are good. I get the medium slider and side tender, I ask for honey packets and it gives the chicken a sweet and savory taste. Delicious ! Staff is friendly and they have never made a mistake

Ordered to go while in the area for lunch. It was not busy , a couple people in line. I waited where the online order pickup sign was and was not greeted, staff could have absolutely been friendlier. I ordered a combo and it was delicious. I don't usually like crinkle cut fries but they were crispy and fresh. The slider was really good with the slaw and sauce. The chicken tender was also delicious. I would go back since the food was really good.

Though Dave's is a chain, I believe their chicken fingers are among some of the best in the area now. I've been wanting to try this place out for awhile, but held off until their post-opening rush died down a bit. I was able to order my food online and it was ready right when they estimated it would be. I opted for the two tender meal with fries. It comes with bread but I skipped out on that. I got my tenders mild, and they definitely weren't spicy, but they packed a ton of flavor. They were super crispy as well, and the... read more

Ya'll! I will admit, I went two days in a row. The first day I got the medium spicy slider with a hot tender and it was delicious. My spice tolerance is pretty high so these were both comfortable spice level. Chicken was cooked very well, I also got fries and macaroni and both were good. I like my sandwiches and tenders extra saucy so I grabbed extra packets. I was dying to taste the next spice level so I went back the next day and I got the extra hot slider with the kale slaw and fries. Everything was delicious, the spice l... read more

Average. 10 for lunch I can get behind and the food is decent. I had the medium slider with pickles and fry's. The sauce they serve you is just ok-I personally didn't get much taste from it. Atmosphere was nice and everything was clean. Shout out to the very friendly Sydney who was so helpful even though it was her first day.

Having followed Dave's on instagram for a while now and finally getting time to drop by I felt it fitting to leave a review. I ordered the #2, 2 sliders and fries. The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned (medium) and was VERY crispy and spilled off the rolls. The crinkle fries again cooked perfectly, crispy and delicious. The only negative I have is that the music in the dining area is pretty loud. If you come with a guest be ready to raise your voice to have a conversation 3 feet away. Overall, great chicken and fri... read more

Good but not great. Chicken was kind of greasy. It was nice to have a choice of heat.

The chicken is delicious! And the spice, is well very spicy. So if you love that combo it is for you. I got some for a friend of mine who absolutely loves spice. He said the extra hit was enjoyable and the reaper really got him. He ended upbdribkibg warm water to take the heat off his tongue. The service was timely !
