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 have had my fair share of chicken sandwiches and nothing... I mean nothing compares to Dave's. The crispy cold pickles and the kale slaw are absolutely perfect for the crunchy chicken and sweet bun. I would drive and hour for Dave's #staycrunchy

Not saying to avoid Dave's hot chicken, just this establishment, I ordered a meal with no kole slaw and they put it on anyway. No big deal I don't mind them remaking it right, but when I gave it back to have it remade they pulled off some of it and handed it back to me, still covered in coleslaw on the bun and chicken. I brought it up again and this time they did the bare minimum of giving me new buns but the chicken still had coleslaw on it, 20 minutes of back and forth for my food to still be wrong. The chicken is good but... read more

Just waited about 30 mins in the drive thru for an order that was completely messed up. I ordered a number one with no pickles and a side of cheese sauce. There were pickles in the box and no cheese sauce. The girl at the window had no clue what was going on. We confirmed twice the name for the order and she gave us the bag of food and forgot our drink. Then she proceeds to give us the wrong drink TWICE! I think it was the same thing too. It was insane! We told her what the drink was and she pulled from by the window and it ... read more

Terrible drive thru service, messed up our order. And the food just wasn't worth it. It was underwhelming.

Stopped in before work a couple weeks ago. I had high expectations. I was waiting for the new to wear off. They cook a good bird and the hot is warm. What didn't care for was the price. No combos or drinks included. My two piece, one side and drink was over $17. Then they don't even brew their own sweet tea. They serve that god aweful Peak tea that come from a syrup bag like soda. It seemed carbonated. When I drink it it tasted like a coke. Not my preference. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend it or go back for a second visi... read more

I would say overall I'd give it a 6.0/10. The loaded fries tasted familiar to Wing Stop because of its sweetness (not a fan of tasting sweet anything when I'm eating loaded fries... just a preference ). It also came to me cold! Gross! I had cheese sauce on there. Maybe the cheese sauce was too sweet? Could be? I tried the medium seasoning and the no spice bites but it kinda mid for me. The medium seasoning tasted like I was being choked and bitch slapped in the face at once. Have you ever heard someone say a run on sentence... read more
