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.

I traveled 30 mins to try Dave's since I recently found them. Let me tell you it's worth the travel. You have to get the hot chicken though the spices are not the same deliciousness if you get regular. The hot flavor chicken is honestly the best in the state behind the Fat Rooster, those who know, know. Enjoy!

Finally some Nashville style hot chicken in Central Jersey! Have been here a couple of times since they opened. The chicken slider never disappoints. Larger than a slider but not too big. Chicken was crispy and the flavor was great. The medium had some spice and the hot was about as far as I would go. The crinkle cut fries are delicious. Just a little seasoning and hot out of the fryer. The service here is great also. A girl named Orit usually waits on us. She is friendly, funny and informative. Took our order quickly and de... read more

Dave's generously sent me a voucher to try them again after a bad experience, so I picked up an order yesterday. I ordered the #1 combo, one medium and one hot. The tenders were hot, juicy and super flavorful. I'm a huge fan of crinkle cut fries, and these didn't disappoint. All in all, Dave's changed my tune about their food and I'm looking forward to the next visit.

First time trying Dave's hot chicken. The food was hot and fresh. I will say it's not my particular preference for flavor but if you are into hot chicken I'd say try it. It was pretty busy when I walked in for my mobile order. I waited 15 minutes longer than the order email confirmed would be my pickup time. Not a deal breaker since it was lunch time, but the system should be updated to account for busier times. Nonetheless, if you are into hot chicken try it but it wasn't necessarily for me. Not a bad experience ... read more

Cashier was friendly but super unhelpful with answers to questions. Took a while to get our food because they we're assuming it should have been two meals. Fries were so good. Dave's Sauce (which the cashier didn't know what it was) was pretty good. Mayo based with spices. Chicken was super crispy.

Amazing food and service! My fav is #3 meal with medium spice tender and hot spice level slider. Once you add the Dave's sauce and honey it is amazing! Slider not really a slider and more so the size of a normal burger. 

Business response:

People like you are what keep us going. We appreciate the love and support. Hope to have you back soon!
