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.

Delicious, juicy chicken with a very flavorful rub. The sandwich was great and had a good slaw in it. The seasoned crinkle cut fries were great as well as was the sauce. The employees are very kind and the food was ready relatively quickly.

Food was good, but I watched them box my order and let it sit there for almost 10min before calling my number.

Amazing service from Guadalupe and Blake. They were so friendly and had a huge dinner rush and they were doing the best they could with how busy it was when I was there. Blake asked if I wanted to try their honey and Dave's sauce and although it was temping I like my chicken with just Dave's sauce I'm more of a spice girl. Guadalupe always had a friendly smile when talking to every guest that walked it and is always so sweet.

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!
