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.

The Nashville style chicken is good. The chicken is similar to Princes in Nashville. The fries were just ok. It's not bad since we have no HattieBs in north Dallas.

Place is very clean and a nice ambiance. Nice outdoor patio. Nice service from Ari at the cash register. As for the food: fries, and Mac and cheese are delicious. I'm not a huge fan of dry rub chicken, but the chicken itself was good. Not as spicy as you think so go up a spice level. Recommend the sliders over tenders.

This was my first time to Dave's, I heard lots of good things and the food was very good. I'm not a huge fan of deep fried heavily breaded chicken, but even though it was a little thicker than I like, the taste was excellent in the chicken was juicy. It's super pricey but I guess that's just the way of the world now. I got a couple sliders and it was around $17, it's getting hard and hard to eat out anymore. Overall it was very good, but a little hyped up. Still I would return to try their other stuff on the menu. Thanks Dav... read more
