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.

OK--another visit to Dave's and a pleasantly opposite experience. Stopped in at around 1:30 on a Monday and ordered essentially the same meal. Service was quick and the food was hot. As in my previous review, the tenders were enormous--close to half a chicken breast each. At first glance, the price point might seem a bit high but you get a lot of food. Another word on spices: Dave's seems to run "zippier" than most. I ordered mild spice today and it still had plenty of zing. That's fine with me, but considering ordering "o... read more

Finally, a spicy chicken sandwich!! I've been longing for a chicken sandwich reminiscent of something along the lines of a Louisiana chicken sandwich. Not Cajun, but it's definitely got the good kick you're lookin for! I went with the extra hot slider with fries. Big chicken portion for a slider and it's hot!! Not only the temp, but the extra hot spice is prevalent. The Dave's Sauce is great for dipping the fries into and extra for the sandwich. The staff were friendly and quick with food orders. The seating area is kinda li... read more

Finally had Dave's Hot Chicken. Did not disappoint! I got 2 slider and a side of fries. Looking at this, at first I wasn't sure how big the sliders were going to be and wasn't sure if it would be enough. I'm glad I didn't order anything else, the sliders were large, large enough that I couldn't finish both! They were delicious, I am glad I gave them a try. Definitely will be going back.

We have been wanting to try this place out but was always so busy so we happened to be trying the new car wash out beside them a notice.It was very slow, so decided to give it a go. We got daves #1 mild for 11.99! The two pieces of chicken that you get are literally HUGE!!!! You also get crinkle fries which i love! The chicken was amazing and the flavor was on point!! Daves sauce was also delicious highly recommend getting it for dipping!! I would return.

The food was good and fresh, I come here often. The seating was pretty clean and I came at night which is rare.

The food is just okay, in my opinion. The chicken had a weird grittiness to it and was overly greasy but tasted alright.
