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

Went here with my husband a few weeks ago. Chicken is amazing. I got the mild and my husband got level 2, I believe. Both were made to perfection. Had the fries too. Perfect- not too soft and not overly burned or crisp. Loved the place and the food. Also, the employees were all very friendly and helpful in helping me decide what to choose from the menu since it was my first visit. Definitely going to return and looking forward to a mouth watering delicious meal again soon. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

Honestly not the best nashville hot chicken. The toast just tasted like mrs bairds white bread and the chicken was a tad too salty and dry for me. I ordered through the drive thru which moved pretty fast. Not much impressed me here. In my opinion, the place might be a little too hyped up from youtubers who live in LA

Maybe it will grow on me the chicken strips were ok. Maybe me trying it again will pull me either way. It's not anything special about this chicken place for me to keep going back. It's still new so expect lines to be long till ppl come back down to earth. When just ok is just Ok.

My son and I came today around 2pm on a tuesday. Workers were very pleasant. I do wish they just had a 1 slider combo. The combos are plenty enough food to share for sure. We got 2 combo #3s and neither of us finished. The chicken it self was flavorful and the crunch was on point. I would have given the food a higher rating if the bun was better. A softer sweeter bun would have been perfect! But slider was okay. Overall i give the place a 6.5 . Pros- crunch was good , flavor of the chicken was good, chicken wasnt dry, ple... read more

They have the most amazing customer service here!! The food was soooo good. I got the 2 sliders but it's basically like 2 whole sandwiches. I can't handle spice at all & the mild was perfect for me. My fiancé said the medium was good but not super hot so she's going to try the hot next time. The fries and really good, crinkle cut is the superior fry. I can't tell what the dipping sauce is but it reminds me of spicy mayo with a little sweetness. Only issue is that we placed the online order at the wrong time and tried to cal... read more

Absolutely amazing food. Wonderful atmosphere and inviting owner that cares about his customers. No doubt one of the top fried chicken spots in DFW, hands down! Don't miss out!

Chicken is good, but doesn't stand out really from all the other chicken fast food places we have in the area. Good costumer service! I would come back to try out their hotter flavors. I got medium, but I think I could've handled the hot!

Me and friends decided to go here for lunch after a Saturday morning Trader Joe's run. For my first hot chicken experience it was cool! We went as soon as they opened (11 am) and were the 2nd patrons there. The cashier was super pleasant and was able to explain the menu and all they had to offer. I order the 2 fingers with fries (no salt) with medium heat. My friends ordered the one finger one slider combo and the other ordered 2 slider combo. The sliders were regular size buns! Lol. They mentioned the sliders were better.... read more

I ordered the "hot" chicken and Dave's did not disappoint. It was hot.. so hot that the taste of chicken was hard to discern. There are two more levels of heat above that, extra hot and reaper. Two tenders may not sound like much, but Dave's tenders are huge, definitely more meat that a four piece box at Cane's. Like a lot of Nashville Hot places, the chicken is drenched in spicy oil (which is good). But at Dave's they go wild with granulated hot and sweet seasonings on top of that. The French fries had a great, spicy fla... read more
