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.

This is a franchise place and the quality is consistent to other locations. The sandwich's come with a sauce and some veggies of some sort. They have different heat levels. I like it extra hot and their heat level is good but not terrible like Nashville heat. Overall a good place.

The seasoning and sauce are what make Dave's stand out. Glad there's one closer to home since we moved.

Pros - Sandwich was excellent and I enjoyed the slaw on it. Medium heat was perfect for my taste. Cons- meal prices do not include a drink. By the time you add that on you are over $13 for a small chicken sandwich and fries. Also my fries were not hot - they had been sitting out too long. 

Business response:

We're glad you enjoyed the slider! But it seems we fell short in other areas. We would love to make this right and hopefully earn those last two stars. Please reach out to us at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc so that we can make it up to you.

Still sniffling, it was perfect! I was so excited to see a DHC opening right here in our backyard. And this location is perfect! Justin and his crew are doing a fantastic job! Food, service, spice; all off the chart! I like the simple flexibility of Dave's menu. I couldn't decide, so a slider and a strip for the win! And ample spice levels to make everyone happy. I like the hot or extra hot depending on the day. It's legit heat. Fun atmosphere inside. But the patio was perfect today. Thanks, Justin! I'll be back... read more

1st time to Dave's. Chicken was awesome. I got the #3 mild and medium. Both were good, medium had good spice for my taste. Staff was friendly and food came pretty quickly. The space was pretty cool too with the graphity!
