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.

Took the family to Daves hot chicken today for the first time. The overall food was delicious, I especially enjoyed the NOT Ckn slider, this is a breaded and fried slice of cauliflower, you have the same "flavor" options as the chicken. The bread was soft, cauliflower cooked to perfection, flavor of the breading was delicious, and the coleslaw on the sandwich was great. I personally did not enjoy the flavor of the dave' sauce (luckily i asked for that to be put on the side, if you are unsure, I recommend doing just that). Th... read more
Business response:
Appreciate the detailed feedback! Glad the cauliflower slider was a hit, and we hear you on the combo meal expectations. We’ll definitely take that into account. Hope you come back for another round (and fingers crossed they keep the cauli around longer)!
This is my favourite burger in the town, and the taste is so good and satisfying. Must try burger place in Gainesville.
Business response:
Love hearing that we’re a must-try for you in Gainesville! Appreciate the support—hope to see you again soon!
Great fast casual chicken restaurant. I got a 3 piece chicken tenders, which came with fries and garlic toast. I was initially disappointed at the price, but didn't realize how filling it was. After receiving my food, I don't know that I could've eaten much more. I got them mild and the seasoning itself on the chicken was delicious without adding much heat. I don't know how exactly to describe, but it's like a thin layer of spices that stick to your finger and are delicious. Definitely would return and recommend it!
Business response:
Glad you gave us a shot, and it sounds like the portion size delivered! Love hearing that the seasoning hit just right—hope to see you back for another visit!
Food was ok. Not sure I would go back. Very cold inside and seemed over priced for Chix fingers.

The ambiance inside is so bright and inviting and the staff is so friendly and quick to address your requests. The ordering line was long, but went fast. The chicken tenders are of good size and so soft and flavorful, you will not be disappointed. Ordered the #1 which comes with two tenders, fries, special pickles, slice of bread, and Dave's sauce. You get to choose your spice level so I got one hot and one reaper. When you order the reaper you have to sign a waiver because it is so hot. I can handle hot food....habane... read more
Business response:
This review was a wild ride! Love that the hot was a winner, and yeah—the reaper is on another level. Appreciate the detailed breakdown, and hope you come back for more (maybe with a little less fire next time)!
Food was great, awesome service and a great experience. Would recommend for anybody looking for the best chicken.

Stopped in while on our way thru town and needed a quick bite to eat. We don't have a Dave's Hot Chicken in our area so decided to try it while here. We all ordered a 2 tender meal. I will say the tenders are HUGE so you can split if you are not very hungry. Three of us ordered plain and one had medium sauce. It was hot, but there was little flavor to the chicken. I personally did not care for the fries with the seasoning on them and my fries were not super hot. The kids were not a fan either of the minimum flavor of ... read more
