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.

Yes! Yes! Dave's hot chicken is for sure a place that I will consider coming back to if I ever hit a place with one.

I ordered a 2pc with hot and mild. The tenders were gr... read more

Stopped in after a late work meeting. Easy menu. Kinda limited. Ordered sliders n fries. Sliders were delicious. Servers were a happy bunch and inside is nice and a good vibe. We'll be back :)

The service was great. The fry's were a little salty for my taste. The sliders are a big size, but the chicken is not crispy. I ordered the lite-mild, I think maybe a hotter choice could have made the chicken more favorable.
