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

Well made chicken sandwiches. Even a single slider is filling. Juicy chicken. We tried Mild, Medium and Hot. Relative to typical chicken wings I would say mild and medium don't pack any heat. If Popeyes chicken is a baseline level of chicken sandwich heat I would say Popeyes version is about a 5 on Dave's scale. Next time I will try extra hot. A little pricey but definitely a nice meal. We did take out but the interior looks clean and well managed.

My son took me to Dave's Hot Chicken and it sure is spicy hot! I am not one to eat this kind of food but he wanted me to try it. The food was very good and the decor of the building inside is wild! I tried the regular chicken sandwich, and fries with a drink. This food tastes as if it came from the South.

While visiting Indio I stopped by to grab some food with my friend. This location has very unique artwork and the location was super clean. The employees were very friendly and helpful. Their menu is very simple. The food tastes good and the spices were awesome. The icing was the beer they serve. This truly made my experience better.

Great chicken. Love the crunch. Chicken is moist. The fries are a little salty but I'm on a low sodium diet so it's probably fine. Everyone was nice and pleasant. Dining area was nice

First time here today. The #2 is enough for two people to share & be satisfied. It took a while to get our food. Sliders were decent. This place is more suited to my husband that loves spicy chicken strips. We ordered extra hot spice level & it didn't seem that hot to me. I'll be back but it's not a place I'd frequent. Small menu without variety.

Excellent place to eat, large portions. Fries were really good especially seasoning. I had the two sliders combo. First slider was really delicious and I was really looking forward to eating the second slider, but unfortunately it was overly salty. To salty. And ruined my meal and taste buds. So we left.

Their chicken sandwiches are the best. The mac and cheese not so good, it was runny. Alot people complain about the price but I'd rather pay for something good and pricy than something pricy and nasty.
