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.

It was ok! Service wasn't bad food didn't take too long and nothing was bad. Nothing really stood out for me or my kids taste wise HOWEVER we did go plain when it came to our food. My husband really enjoyed his food he got the hot flavor. Plain felt like there was no taste or seasoning at all like it was literally plain lol. Other places like Canes or chick-fil-a are plain as well and there's flavor so I guess I was expecting something as far as plain goes.

Omg just had Dave's Hot Chicken for the 1st time lastnight and I'm a fan! I went with the Dave's #3 which is a slider and tender. I substituted the slider for the "Not" Chicken (cauliflower) slider and soooo glad I did!!! First off, no one mentioned the spice levels to me prior to ordering so I went with Hot as most places to me arent as hot as I can handle. Ummm NOT here! The Hot is HOT!! I was literally dying!

Came here to see what the hype is about. I was excited to try the Dave's NOT chicken and though the sandwich was probably one of the messiest things I've ever eaten I'm so glad I made the trek! The indoor space is small but there is a lot of options outside. The service was friendly and relatively quick for how busy it was. I got the #4 with cheese and I couldn't finish all the fries. Opted for medium but honestly I probably could have gone a little hotter. I was elated to be included as a vegetarian. Worth the stop.

LOVE THIS PLACE. Good, fresh, clean white chicken that is served piping hot with crinkle cut fries. Service a bit slow, but worth the wait. Some of best fried chicken fast food out there.
