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.

This is some seriously good chicken and fries. Little pricey though. I really appreciate that the inside has paintings from a local artist too. It's nice that it actually represents the area of Neptune. Service was nice.

Wow this chicken is crispy and well seasoned with unique flavor. We naively bought a crave case of sliders thinking they were small.. we had sandwiches for days. I'd come back and try the tenders and milkshakes. 

Business response:

Thanks for sharing your experience, Ashley! We're so glad you enjoyed the crispy, well-seasoned chicken. Looks like you got a bit more than you expected with that crave case! Definitely try the tenders and milkshakes next time—hope to see you back soon!

Nice sized pieces with a nice juicy piece of chicken. You can dry rub or not. The service was about 10 min wait but for a fast food joint, it was great. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. Fries can be swapped out for a different side like Mac n cheese.

The chicken nuggets were crunchy, flavorful, & juicy! Sad the nuggets didn't go higher than hot but that spice level did pack a punch. The cheese fries were one of the better fast food fries I've had. The fries were seasoned well and the cheese didn't become stiff like other places do. Looking forward to trying the tenders with one of the hotter slice levels!

A whole treat for taste buds craving crispy tasty fried chicken!! I ordered take out medium tenders and hot sliders and I'm so glad I did. Also the wall art made me feel as though I was in an art gallery instead of a restaurant. And the service was nice about giving me extra packets of Dave's sauce to go with my order, free of charge. This is THE place for fried chicken! 

Business response:

Wow, thanks for the fantastic five-star review! You're amazing! We're delighted to hear you had such a wonderful experience. Your feedback fuels our passion!

Woah! Fried chicken done right. Dave's is newer to the neighborhood and I had to find out what they were all about. Tucked inside a mini plaza, parking is ample and seating is too. As a newbie the staff was patient and made sure they read my order back perfectly. Chicken comes on a single piece of toast which I enjoyed way more than I thought. Sauce is NOT sloppy drenched and had just the right heat for mild. Mac was simple (toddler approved) and the bites were PLUMP. Under the pickles is the pink sauce (must try). Also ... read more
