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.

Every time my husband and I visit Tampa, Dave's is our favorite place to stop by. We look forward to driving from Miami just for chicken. Luckily they will be opening a Miami branch soon. This location has some of the kindest staff and such a fun atmosphere. The chicken is always crispy and perfectly seasoned. I like to get Mac and cheese as a side and my husband likes the classic fries. You have the choice to get tenders, sandwich, or a combination of both.

This chicken slider sandwich tops any chain restaurant you have ever tried. The chicken tenders are large but battered lightly and cooked very well through. The chicken was soo juicy. The fries were hot and crispy. Delicious coleslaw was added with the soft fresh bun. The restaurant was super clean inside

Cool art on the outside of the building, drive thru was quick and easy to order, and workers are polite. We got a mild slider, hot tender, and the reaper tender... more on that later, the food was ready quickly and when I asked for extra sauce they didn't disappoint, loaded it up! Was $21 for all of this and a small cherry coke, pretty good for 2024 prices I'd say. Onto the food now: the mild tender was well flavored and juicy (same for the hot, just a little more spicy), came with some slaw but I expected it to come with ch... read more
