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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

My experience with Dave's was ok. The ladies taking orders all kinda had attitudes like they didn't wanna be there. The food is made to order so it was fresh and templates ordered the extra hot and it was really hot. The only thing was is that it was hot and not much flavor. I love spicy food but please add more flavor to it. I also ordered the the nuggets with no spice. I found that without the sauce added, not much flavor either.

From ordering, to pick up, to eating, this was a real treat. We ordered online very late morning and it was ready within a few minutes. Tried a variety of things, including the "not chicken" cauliflower bites, which were amazing. Went with medium-heat tenders and slider, and then ordered a couple of hot tenders to share among us. Great heat, not too overpowering for most of us, and the Dave's sauce was great.

Service was awesome, staff was super nice and gave me suggestions of sauces to use (I highly recommend adding honey!). Food in general is delicious/ fresh. I ordered 2 sliders with fries, it was more than enough food. Next time I'll likely opt for 1 slider.

Another hot chicken place in NJ. This is one of the better ones that I've tried. I Chicken was very juicy. I ordered hot, which was just perfect. Not overly spicy. The rub they used was great too.... really flavorful. All of the combos seems to consist of 2 items + fries, which is actually too much food. I got the 2 sliders ($15), and struggled to finish. 2 sliders + fries is probably better for 2 people (may add a tender or two). Next time I may just get 2 tenders. Fries are crinkle cut, and cooked well. Again, I enjoy... read more

We got 2 sliders and fries to share. It was good size slider for a lunch. I think 2 would have been too much for me. We got mild and it was perfect. I cannot imagine what would be like if it was extreme. I would definitely return. I recommend this place for good juicy chicken sandwich. It's comparable to chick-o-filet. Good to addition to our town. Service was good, it took about 5 minutes to get food, so I guess they make it as it ordered. Place was interestingly painted and decorated with modern craziness.
