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.

Came here with my friends after a concert and we were helped by the sweetest worker named Paul. He was so attentive and kind with all the customers. Will definitely be returning to this location!

Great quality and food is always fresh! French fries have great flavor, as well as the chicken. I do wish it was a bit more crispy and I wish that the spice level had more of a kick. Overall delicious!

My daughter and I stopped in for lunch. We were greeted by Paul. The food was delicious but Paul's customer service was top notch! So refreshing to have great service as well as good, affordable food.

I needed a beverage, but the Target in the plaza was closing, and it looked like a long wait to checkout there. We saw that Dave's was still open, so ran over to get a fountain beverage. Saw the sign for the Top Loaded milkshake, and decided to go for it. Paul was working the the reg... read more
