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

If you're looking for a chicken place that will have you clucking with joy, look no further! This spot serves up tenders that are dry rubbed (not saucy)! My fiancé, who has been before, tried to tell me, "all you need is 2 tenders." However, I did not listen. And boy was he right! I ordered the #3 with a fruit punch icee because I wanted the best of both worlds--a chicken sandwich and a tender. I opted for medium and it had a lot of flavor! And let's talk about the Icee fruit punch--an absolute gem! It's not overly sugary,... read more

The food was good. Service was good. The wait for the food was a hour wait but well worth it. I suggest getting nothing lower than Medium flavor. Anything lower than medium lacks flavor.

It's the closest thing to real Nashville hot chicken outside of Nashville, Tn. I had hot/very hot/& reaper heat.... Very hot is close to the real Nashville hot and reaper is close to the very hot Nashville chicken and everything is made fresh the way it should be.

I give it 4/5 , it was my first time trying it and I am sure if I had the experience in person it would have been better. The taste , spice, presentation was great. The fries were tasty but soft which I know if I was in person they would have been crispy. Overall I give it a 4/5 and will definitely be there in person soon

Opening Day has arrived at Daves! I know the team has been working hard and diligently to get out some good chicken. Waited in line for 3 1/2 hours to get some very mediocre food. I want to also give them some grace, and not necessarily leave a bad review because I can understand how overwhelming an opening of a new restaurant can be. If I was served this food, six months from now, I would simply never go back. It was bland, tasteless, and not worth the hype at all. I simply ordered regular chicken tenders. They were... read more
