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.

I was pleasantly surprised during my first trip to Dave’s. I got a slider combo and it was 10/10! The flavor was very unique in comparison to other chicken places. I will definitely be going back.
The chicken "sliders" are maybe misnamed, since they're full-sized sandwiches. The chicken was very nicely cooked, but even the medium hot was pretty spicy (and I'm generally good with spice). The biggest issue is that "spicy" was the only flavor. I love spice that enhances flavor, not spice that replaces flavor. The sauce (basically a remoulade) toned it down a bit and added some nice savoriness, but the spice just overwhelmed everything.
They opened up this store this past Saturday. we traveled to do some business and stopped in Gainesville so my son could try. 1st, I say it looked like the chicken would be hot. I believe the spices make it look thst way. My son chose the chicken finger and slider and drink, and he said for almost $17, it was not worth it. I tried the crust and fries. He picked medium, no flavor, no heat. He and I both said it was more a sweet flavor. My son said the pickles added a little salty flavor without it nothing. The sauce wasn't sp... read more
It was a long line when we got there. The lines moved pretty quickly. Staff was nice. The chicken was pretty good! The hot was HOT! 🥵 Wanted more fries! Will definitely try again.
