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 was curious about the hype so I decided to give this place a try. It was definitely packed when I went but not as long as drive thru. Order: 2 Dave #3 (1 tender + 1 slider with fries) Honestly, I'm not sure what the hype was about tbh. The fries were delicious and crispy which was amazing. The slider and tender was decent but I'm not a fan of my spicy chicken to be so sweet. This place is a good place to grab Nashville hot chicken sandwich that close to home but I would rather have Fry the Coop over Dave's.

Good chicken, delicious cheese fries, and quick and polite service! A bit pricey for what you get, but worth it in my book!

This place is great! It exceeded my expectations in terms of friendliness of staff, time of preparation and flavor. The flavor actually reminded me of a really famous chicken place in Nashville called Hattie Bs with a line out the door at most times during the day. This was my first time here but I will be making the 25 minute drive again

Oh my god I'm obsessed! I've eaten here twice and 10/10 recommend! Their chicken sandwich are to die for! I personally don't like the coleslaw in mine but accidentally got it once and it was still amazing! I'm a HUGEEE pickle Fan so when I asked for extra pickles I was beyond happy to see A TON of pickles. Their fries are definitely the best as well. I love chicken sandwiches and am VERY picky so I was very excited when I ate here! Not to mention their food IS halal!

Best chicken place ever!! If it's your first time I wouldn't get anything about mild. They are definitely spicy.

My friends keeps on talking about this place and encourage me to go in here even if it is a bit far and we did. First glance, the outside of the place looks nice and there were a lot of people inside. We decided to eat inside and I was amazed on the beautiful interior of the place. The walls and the ceiling are so cool that it feels like it is not a fast food. The vibe was amazing too. We ordered their combo and the sandwich was so good. Mine was the medium and it was perfect. Did not try the hottest sauce and the medium was... read more

The Nashville hot tenders and sliders are tasty. I got the xtra hot flavor and it was the right level of spice for me. I think the price is a bit steep and the meal price should include a drink.

Biggest thing that stands out about this place, the price. There aren't a ton of meal options, if you're planning to buy dinner for two people, get ready to spend around $30. That isn't to say you don't get a good amount of food, you certainly do. It would just be nice for a combo meal that goes under $10. The chicken is great, big, tasty, and spicy as the name suggests. Fries are great too. The toast is just a piece of bread, no sign of any flavor or anything to make it stand out from all the other chicken/fries/toast estab... read more
