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

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.

Wow this place was like Whoa!!! The price for the food is great!! The taste for the medium was still too spicy for me but I ate it. My daughter got the medium as well. And my husband had to try the reaper. He will never do that again lol!!! I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. And it was well lit. And I liked the location at well. I did not have any problem with parking which is crazy because you would think there would be a hard time finding parking at that location. I give this place 5 stars. So bomb and will defini... read more

We were a bit hungry following a concert and decided to grab some food. Dave's seemed like the spot so we popped in. We ordered the chicken sliders and went around the corner to wait. It took a lot longer than expected, but the food was fresh and hot. It was super late and it was a young crowd. Interested to see what it looks like during the day.

The staff was on point! Everyone introduced themselves by name, and we even had someone come to our table and ask if everything was okay. I tried the NOT chicken slider (aka cauliflower) and liked the crunch factor more than the regular chicken sandwich. Love that there's a vegetarian option-- just makes sure to have it cooked in the French fry oil rather than the chicken oil. This location has outside seating that's nice and sunny for a casual outdoor lunch

The chicken was seasoned amazing and so were the fries. The slaw was AMAZING!!! The chicken was juicy and tender. 1000% recommend this place.
