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 went on the first Friday they were open. I had no problem waiting an hour. I got the two slider combo. I ordered one slider as extra hot and the other slider I ordered the reaper, which I had to sign a waiver for. The service was great and there wasn't a long wait for my to go order considering how busy they were. The fries were great. They were crispy and seasoned. The extra hot slider was amazing. Great creeping heat level. The slaw on the slider does a good job of cooling your mouth down. The Reaper was also amazing. Th... read more
Was a massive fan of this place, one of the best chicken spots around. Josh( might have been Jake) and Nick provided great customer service and really made my experience. Chicken and fries were delicious I'll definitely be back. Also cool decorations on the wall
Hands-down some of the best chicken I've ever had. Yes, I like it spicy, but this chicken (and the sliders, in general) take on a whole new dimension when you pour on a honey packet before consuming. When I tell you it's remarkably tasty, I wouldn't be lying. It's now something I'll look forward to coming back for again and again.
I've been waiting so long to try Dave's Hot Chicken!! Maybe I hyped it up a bit too much in my head. The meal was good but not fantastic. I got Dave's #3 which came with 1 tender, 1 slider, fries, sauce, and pickles. The chicken was a balance between being crisp and crunchy with nice moistness. I was hoping the flavor would slap me in the face, but the flavor was actually kind of mild - a little sweet, a little salty, a little cayenne, nothing more, nothing less. I ordered medium spice but will be getting hot next time. I ... read more
I had heard great things about this place. I took my 87 yo father there for lunch. The place was fairly empty and we decided to get a 10-piece Dave's Bites, with just a rub... a very basic order to go. I went to the restroom and when I returned our order was already finished and at the table I had my father sit down at. At first I was impressed and then we decided to sit and eat some of the meal before we took it home to the rest of the family. To say I was disappointed is an UNDERSTATEMENT! The chicken was warm, but I am su... read more
Really great food, but what ruined it for me was how unpleasant the staff was, no common courtesy whatsoever. Definitely amazing chicken and food though.
I've eaten here quite a bit and the food is normally delicious and I actually crave it. Yesterday it was awful. I stopped by to get two sliders and fries to-go. I ordered light spice. I didn't taste any spice (no big deal on this part). However, the chicken was dry and burnt. I should have checked it prior to leaving the restaurant, but I never have been given dry, burnt chicken. They put a scant amount of coleslaw on it. (I love the coleslaw so much - as it's one of the main reasons I go there). This was a waste of money ... read more
Terrible Dave's COLD chicken. Taste was ok but chicken was cold . Will not go back, restaurant was clean but food was not
We arrived around 1130am. It wasn't busy and Only 3 tables were taken Ordered fried cauliflower which was amazing and cheese fries that had maybe a tsp of cheese in the middle of the fries. I was not impressed. We waited for over 20 minutes for our food. I will give it another chance at some point but won't make a special trip as we did this time.
