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 op... read more

I know this place is a chain but I was really excited to try it. I got the slider combo The chicken was juicy with great batter. It was just the right amount of spice. I got a side of coleslaw, but it was very tiny. The shakes looked really good I can't wait to come back!

First time eating here and it was very good. The crinkle cut fries were crispy and soft on the inside. The sauces that came with my meal were all good. Chicken was cooked good . Overall nice

The hot chicken tenders are crispy, juicy and seasoned very well. Lots of flavor in the batter. I love the sauce! The slushes are new and refreshing. Have not tried the milk shakes but they also look good! Excellent service and friendly staff. Try the new nuggets. Taste great! Ambiance is loud and fun. Parking is easy as they have a parking lot. 

Business response:

Try the milkshakes! They help with the spice! Thanks for the love!

Saw this new hot chicken place open not too far from me. So we've been trying to get here. Today was the day. If you check in on Yelp you can choose between a free fountain drink or a shake. Shakes def make sense here since the levels of hot are just that. The milk kills the spicy flavor. I'm giving a 4 star because it's EXPENSIVE! I got sliders (HOT) and they were really good. Depending on your hunger level, the sliders are shareable. Fries were good. The sauce, was just ok that comes on the side. I prefer Chik... read more

Good quick food, friendly staff and it's close to CSUN! I got their slider combo and it was enjoyable. There are a lot of seats but limited on parking

Decent food but priced too high for what you get. I don't mind paying extra when it's warranted. I mean, we used to go to Umami Burger, and you know those burgers were not cheap. But damn, they were fire! These are forgettable to me. Try them for yourself though.

I love this place. I turned a few coworkers onto this place. I'm always receiving pictures of them eating here! The temptation is real.

Love going to Dave's for a quick yummy meal! They are super fast at the Northridge site...and really nice and friendly! I'm sure you can get hot chicken elsewhere that may be better, but the price is so right! The hubs and I share the #2 meal... it's enough to satisfy and still leave room for a small milkshake! Gotta try the cheese fries one day!

I've been going to this place since they were just a pop-up tent in Hollywood. Forever grateful that at this point, we have 2 miles away from my house. I've never had a better chicken sandwich in my life, the taste, the quality, the authenticity is all there. However over time , the portion size has gone down for the fries, and the app used to allow memos, now it does not. My only complaint would be that there is no option when online ordering to request extra pickles or sauce, so you always have to ask and wait when you get... read more
