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

First time visitor for me (ig @theburg3rjudg3). 1pm visit. Pamela at the register welcomed us. Then she guided us. She even went on to say "let me know if you need anything while you are here"!! Exceptional Service. Then the food came. Perfect Sliders and Fries. We need more Pamela's!!

Popped up on this place and it was good enough but I will say with a little more effort in keeping it clean and employees making sure they are practicing cleanliness this spot which I'm sure that makes great money would make more. The food was good but the practices I seen made me sketchy to try it. Having multiple things with gloves and not changing them will never be cool for me, but it was open and late and I ate it and it was hot and good.

India gave the best customer service I've had in a long time! I came here during a late night during a holiday and she was so kind and accommodating. So much better than the place across the street. Give her a raise!!!! The slider was great. I get it without pickles and it's perfect. The Mac n cheese wasn't bad either, though it would be nice if it was a little creamier. Overall, I could have Dave's every night. So good!! I'll be a regular customer from now on.

Food was super flavorful, I got spicy and it was pretty hot. The service inside was fast, no complaints for a "fast" food joint, ambiance and decorations with neon lights inside was cool.

We were glamping nearby and decided to pick up food from here after setting up our site and being too tired to cook. We got a combo of sliders and tenders, some mild and some spicy. It was all amazing. It was so delicious! The fries were good too and great portions. I don't get the piece of toast because it's just a random piece of toast at the bottom but we really loved our meals. Service was great too, guy at register was really friendly and when we picked up our food they were generous with all the sauces.
