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.

Irene great chicken and great vibes, thanks Irene. Give her a raise. They have round ice
The food is good and service was acceptable but the music was playing way too loud. I couldn't hear the employee over the loud music when ordering. I hope they turn down that music soon.
Daves hot chicken never disappoints. I'm glad this place is now open closer to me coming from Palm Springs. The spicy is very spicy but delicious I go for the next level down. Never had a bad meal at Dave's hot chicken.
The food is terrible but the people working there are really nice but our order took over 15 minutes to make for just one order
Never going back 3 strikes, and you are out. Less and less food, first it was the fries, now it's the chicken and bread for the minis. The presentation was not the same, and whatever hot seasoning they placed on the chicken was gritty. Low budget here, and straight up horrible all the way around. Not to mention the second visit we got to our destination with the wrong order. Either get new staff, train them, or shut the place down. You decide. People don't eat at this location. DON'T DO IT!
Have gone here for about 6 months and were delighted-until today. My husband loves the cauliflower bites. Today on the 10 pack of Cauliflower bites, no sauce, no pickles and the bites not drained so almost too greasy to eat! I asked about the sauce and the counter guy said only if you get fries!! That makes no sense as it is part of their signature chicken. Love Dave's but visit another location besides Cathedral City- we will be!
I dont understand people's hype about this place. It has thousands of reviews and 5 stars in LA. I spent 17$ to get 2 chicken strips and some fries and plain white bread. Like... The COGS on all that is probably 3-4$ at most. Meaning they got 13-14$ extra for free profit. This 2 strip combo should be 7.99$ lol. It's just never worth it to go out and buy fast food anymore. It's all corporate greed profiteering. Anyway, the chicken was whatever. All I really tasted was breaded chicken and salt. As for the fries. I mean anyone ... read more
The dude with stickers on his hat is rude as heck, and disrespectful. Horrible attitude and no type of service from the dude with stickers on his hat
Both restrooms out of order at the same time. Unacceptable. And probably illegal. Order super slow as well. If the food weren't good this place would sink fast.
