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.

It's good food don't get me wrong. However, they are extremely understaffed and slow... it should NOT take one hour and 18 minutes for me to get my food. Just absolutely ridiculous... I've gone to different Dave's and the wait is typically 10-15 min at most. It's fried chicken... why on earth is it taking that long... and this is not the first time. Last time I went there I waited a solid 45 min. It's absurd. Something needs to be done.

I kept seeing the commercial for the cauliflour burger, so I went and got one. It was a slider, not a full sandwich and with fries it was 14.00 The cauliflour sandwich was such a letdown because it was so greasy and thin that the cauliflour was transparent. Each bite was drenched in grease. I really wanted to go to the front counter and ask for a refund, but I didn't because the cashier that took my order was so pleasant, and it was so crowded that it would have been very awkward, so I just called it a loss. It looked ve... read more

Used to be a huge fan of DAVE's, now I'm leaving a 1 star review. This pile of food was sitting at the window when I walked in and ordered a few sliders. Waited for 30 mins at which point someone from the back came out and grabbed some of the boxes from the pile and gave it to me. It was cold to the touch, I specifically checked. They did the same to the 2 other people who had ordered before me. Cold food that had sat in the window for 30 mins. I remember back in the day you could order delivery and it would show up still ... read more

Restaurant called and said my order had been basically stolen by a DoorDash driver and they refused to remake the order and it was up to me to cancel and get refund. Since I am a repeat customer of at least 8-10 orders (through DoorDash), I think they could easily have just remade the order and not risk losing a loyal customer. Instead, I had to go through a lengthy cancellation process with DoorDash. A good business would not risk losing a customer over one order. Bad decision on their part.

Waited an HOUR for some chicken and was only notified after we ordered that it would take this long. I'm all for fresh chicken but after waiting for an hour is unacceptable; I'd rather get food else where. It would be acceptable if it was extremely busy but there were only maybe 3-4 tables occupied while everyone stood around waiting for their food. They even ran out of beverage lids for togo orders so people had open cups. Will never be returning to this location again.
