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.

After a hot day on Bradley Beach, what's a better way to cool down than eating spicy chicken ?!?! {Maybe AC and a swimming pool} But we've heard so much about Dave's, including how it was just sold for 1 Billion dollars, that we had to try it. Not quite dinner time, so the place was empty. Which was great, because we had questions. The woman, whose name I can't remember, was super helpful and guided us through the billboard/menu. We weren't starving, but we got: DAVE'S #1: 2 Tenders w/Fries DAVE'S BITES Medium Drink We ... read more

This was my second time having Dave's hot chicken and they don't disappoint. The sliders are amazing the fries are perfection. The front counter people are great, we ate inside and we got the little buzzer that our food was ready but it was delivered before the buzzer went off. I definitely will be back

This is some seriously good chicken and fries. Little pricey though. I really appreciate that the inside has paintings from a local artist too. It's nice that it actually represents the area of Neptune. Service was nice.

Second time here a few months apart. Did NOT disappoint!! Busy day outside and no time to cook. Husband picked-up dinner to satisfy a craving and MAAAAAAAN, I could have eaten that second sandwich in the platter. Route 66 team is turning out some delicious meals! Thank you! Well done!

Wow this chicken is crispy and well seasoned with unique flavor. We naively bought a crave case of sliders thinking they were small.. we had sandwiches for days. I'd come back and try the tenders and milkshakes.

Nice sized pieces with a nice juicy piece of chicken. You can dry rub or not. The service was about 10 min wait but for a fast food joint, it was great. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. Fries can be swapped out for a different side like Mac n cheese.

The chicken nuggets were crunchy, flavorful, & juicy! Sad the nuggets didn't go higher than hot but that spice level did pack a punch. The cheese fries were one of the better fast food fries I've had. The fries were seasoned well and the cheese didn't become stiff like other places do. Looking forward to trying the tenders with one of the hotter slice levels!
