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.

Stopped by for a quick lunch... I was impressed with the food, service, and cleanliness of the place. The spicy chicken, sauce, & honey are a good mixture.

So yummy!! I was craving a fried chicken sandwich and ordered takeout on a Tuesday afternoon. I ordered the special with 2 sliders (mild) and fries! The chicken was juicy and tender and the buns were soft and sweet! This definitely hit the spot. Mild was not too spicy at all, I might go for the medium next time. The fries were pretty standard. I think I prefer them crispier but either way I would come back for the sliders yay! Service at the counter was very friendly too :))

Big portions! A slider is a full size chicken sandwich. Take was easy and each order is properly labeled. Restaurant was bright and open!

Dave's is a super good fried chicken place! I always just get one slider and share fries with a friend and it is enough already. I like that the chicken is actually spicy and always perfectly crispy. I get it at the hot spice level and also like to ask for extra Dave's sauce. I do not particularly like the bread that comes with the meals with just tenders, though. They have crunchy ice as well! Service is not that fast but it is okay. The inside is also very clean.

I really love fried chicken sandwiches. Checked out the new Dave's Hot Chicken. It's in a great location. The store was very clean and Anthony was really helpful, they get 6 stars. I got a slider metal spicy level, which was pretty spicy. It was just ok, the drizzle sauce or the slaw had some kind of chipotle or cumin that I wasn't a fan of. It's not a chicken thigh like chik fil a, it's just a tender on a bun. $8 for one slider, I wasn't impressed. There's a lot of options out there to fit all palates, this place just isn... read more

Had a dinner here with my daughter and we got the 2 strip combo and the slider and strip combo both medium heat and it had a kick but not too spicy which was great for my daughter. Seating was nice and open and the service was great. The girl who helped me named Nessa was really nice and helpful when I asked for some sauce and utensils. We will definitely be back.

Nice burger place with variation to hotness you want in your meal. I like that part! I also like that the burger sizes are smaller than other places. It's nicely located with good sitting area. Service has always been fast, no problems.

The best Dave's location I've been to! The inside is super clean and well kept- I know it's a newer location so hopefully they keep it up. Friendly service and food came out quickly and was super fresh and hot. The fries were really crispy and had the perfect amount of seasoning, and the sliders were so good and hot. Parking is easy here and there are lots of seats inside and outside. Will be back!
