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.

Dylan waited on me and he was friendly and helpful. The word you need to remember is HOT. The mild is about a 1 on the spicy scale. The medium is about a 3.5 heat, the hot is about a 5 and the very hot is about a 7.5. I can't imagine how hot Reaper is. 🤪 I will be ordering the medium version from this point on. It was perfect for me. The Mac and cheese was good and the fries had a good flavor. The chocolate shake was wonderful. I definitely needed it when I tried the very hot! I recommend stopping here and giving it ... read more

Dave's definitely provides a fresh take on the chicken along this strip. The fun looking sign invited me in to see what they had to offer. The menu is very simple, you get chicken and sides. The biggest question is how hot do you like your chicken (medium for me), and what sides? I chose the fries and although they looked like typical restaurant fries, they were perfectly crunchy, seasoned nicely, and came out hot (a must for any fry). The slider was bigger than I was anticipating so I ordered a chicken finger with it a... read more

I ordered online, our first time eating this chicken, and I am glad that i erroneously ordered the lite- mild instead of the reaper. And we also ordered medium, hot and extra hot. Medium was as hot as i want to ever get again! I can't imagine how hot the reaper is ... The hot was too hot for me. My husband enjoyed the hot and extra hot, but he too said no reaper for him. We also got the fries, a chocolate milkshake and a Mac n cheese. The milkshake was amazing. Loved that our meal also came with a bread slice and pickles... read more

Honestly delicious chicken. I went safe with the medium heat and it was good but next time I will up it a bit. The sliders are a really good size, and eatting just one was plenty big enough. They came with coleslaw, pickles and sauce. The flavor was super good and made fresh. I ordered online and picked up inside which definitely saved some time. This location does have a drive through as well which is helpful if you can't walk inside. Service was decent overall

Had lunch here yesterday with my son, out first time at Dave’s. I opted for the 2 tender meal “medium” and glad I did as it was plenty hot for me. The idea of a slider seemed “small” to me however my son got one & it looked delicious. Will definitely try one next time. The store was clean, great service & the food was delicious. Loved the dry rub!
