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 love the chicken here. So good. I get the Very Hot bc the Reaper is a bit too much haha
Lupe is great and always helps me out with any questions or recommendations, great to see good customer service at a chain restaurant and the food is great!
This place is a pretty good spot to get your spicy chicken sandwich. The breading is nice and crunchy and doesn't taste like old oil or over salted like some bad chicken sandwich places. The chicken is still pretty juicy too! I'm a spicy food lover and if you are too, then go straight for the spiciest they got. It's not that spicy. It's somewhere around 5/10. However, if you're not good with spicy then definitely go for something near the mild level. My friends that don't eat spicy foods didn't enjoy the max spicy at all a... read more
We were trying to decide what to eat and we wanted to try out a place we never had. So we went to the El Cajon Dave's hot chicken the place is 25 min from my house and the parking was bad . But the min we walked in the people were very welcoming and the cashier was ever more awesome. She recommended what to order and even gave us the secret to Dave hot secret sauce ... the food came out fast and especially for a holiday the place was open and the fully staff. I totally recommend this place and also wanted to give a shout ... read more
Edit: my review had changed from 3 stars to 5. I initially gave 3 stars based off of waiting time-the restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. However, i ended up waiting 20, 20+ minutes for my order before . The manager reached out and want to make things right. On the visit today, it was ensured that my food would arrive much quicker, and it did! It took only 5 or so minutes. Way faster than before. The customer service definitely earned them a 5 star rating. Thanks again!
Just look at the pictures and see how it good it looks? That secret sauce for dipping would probably end all wars on earth. Enjoy some spice in your life and grab a sandwich. Don't make this lunch or dinner choice hard
I came here yesterday for the first time to pick up food for somebody and had a great experience. The location was clean and the staff was so friendly, especially Keila! She was so helpful and sweet and her great attitude/energy was contagious. Great employee. My friend absolutely loved the food as it was fresh/hot and delicious.
