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.

Read mixed reviews of this place, but after trying it, I can confirm they make a quality chicken tender. I got combo #3 which is definitely pricey for a lunch, but it was excellent. I got heat level 'Hot' which has some kick but doesn't ruin the meal. The fries were great, crispy outside & soft inside. The sauce was good but fairly typical. Overall food quality in comparison to other fast food chicken sandwiches, this has excellent taste & is not all batter or rubber chicken, you actually can tell it is chicken.

I've had the opportunity to try Dave's hot chicken in Colorado, so when I saw it during my walk home, going in was a no brainer. Inside the leslieville location, I found that same hip vibe I remember from my first visit, but Toronto flavoured 🍁❣️ Greeted by friendly faces ready to make recommendations, I was expecting a solid food bite. What I ate exceeded any expectations. At first, for whatever reason, I got intimidated by the heat scale, deciding to go with a more balanced medium spice 😂. The chicken was amazing -heat... read more
Food is fine but disappointed that the service was slow and for some reason pricing is different on line vs in store. I ordered on the ttc and when I arrived 2 minutes later I saw it was less in store. That’s just wrong. It’s not a lot of $, but the principle is quite annoying. Of course the store staff couldn’t explain why. Would have taken the same amount of time if I ordered at the store. Follow up - I filled out what they asked me to fill out so they could make it right as per the feedback below from the restaurant... read more
Good food, Friendly staff and neat building/location. Unlike other hot chicken places I really enjoyed that this sandwich combo wasn't bathed in grease, and had a perfect level of spice (had medium and hot) Neat location in the city just off of queen street with interesting artwork and layout for seating inside the building.
ADDICTING FLAVOUR! Not sure if it’s cause I came at a slower time but the service was very fast without comprising flavour and freshness. You know those ones where the steam is coming out of the food?? Portion was on point as well as price. Taste was addicting and makes you want more. I could probably body 10 of these easy.
