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.

Loved the chicken without spice. Also the kale slaw was fresh and delicious! The strawberry shake was good. Not much to say about the ambiance.

Personally I think it's overpriced and not the best. I think the description of sliders is very incorrect. They are full sized so getting 2 was way too much for 1 person. I wish they had silverware and ketchup out on the counter but they don't. Parking is a nightmare at busy times. The place gets very loud. The tables are not spaced out so if you try to get out you're hitting the person behind you.

I've been to Dave's in Minnetonka multiple times and have had a great experience every time! Although the restaurant is always VERY BUSY, I have always received my food in a timely manner with the correct order. The last time I was there, the ice machine was not working and the manager on duty quickly came out to fix it and get it back in working order. I order the same thing every time - 1 mild slider with fries, so good every time! I usually get my food to go because the restaurant itself is very small with limited seatin... read more

What a nice surprise! Very colorful atmosphere and friendly staff. GREAT FRIED CHICKEN ! The portions are big: a 'slider' is probably what a normal fried chicken sandwich should be, so I'd recommend the #4 with the kale slaw - very fresh and yummy! They basically just serve one thing: fried chicken tenders and fried chicken tenders on a bun :) Nothing fancy, but great fast food.

Very few places in the Midwest (or at least Minnesota) deliver in the word "hot". Dave's does! I got the hottest chicken I could on the menu and I was sniffling, sweating, and crying my way through my tenders. They were so good! I'll be back for more after I recover... send milk!

I went with friends for dinner, and there was still a decent amount of people despite it being a weekday, but not to the point of a long wait time. The inside had a good amount of seating with a modern interior. The chicken was pretty crispy with a good amount of spice that you're able to adjust. I ordered the meal with two sliders and was able to get different spice levels for each. The cheese fries were as much as you'd expect from simple cheese on top of fries. Overall, it was a good experience, but I felt there was a la... read more

Foods been amazing both times I came. Sizeable chicken, crunchy almost Korean fried chicken style, tons of seasoning and flavor. The only complaint is that the fries have Cajun seasoning on them so there's not a lot of reprieve from the hot chicken. Would love more slaw and sauce, but you can always request such! Love the extra pickles!

Food was great, service was great but the atmosphere was horrible. a fight broke out and employees barely did anything to stop it which resulted in food getting flashed at me and my clothes were left a mess. I'll stick with going to the one in coon rapids thank God they opened that one.
