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. If the menu ... read more

I got two combo #3’s which has 1 tender & 1 slider with fries. One medium hot and one with no spice. The combos came with no drink which is upsetting because the combos were 22$ before tax. Food was fresh and crispy. I paid 49.66 after tax for the 2 combos and 1 drink. I found the restaurant was way too cold , I was freezing while eating. Overall I would say it is a great fried chicken spot but a tad over priced.

We ordered two combos (one with two “sliders” and one with two tenders) as well as a strawberry milkshake, to go The good: the fries are amazing. They are perfectly crispy, crinkle cut fries and I’d happily go back to Dave’s just for these fries. The combo also comes with some very good crinkle cut pickles. The size of the “sliders” was also very generous. I think they are just full sandwiches? I also liked the packaging - I think if you were having a picnic in a park nearby this would be a perfect box to take with you The... read more

This is a huge, 2 floor restaurant, with a VERY LIMITED menu. All they have are fries, small chicken sandwiches (sliders.... basically a chicken finger on a bun) and you can order that chicken piece on its own. They have small portions of kale slaw, and macaroni.... and that's it. Nothing else on the menu. What sucks ? Again, huge, empty restaurant Unheated in November (it was 4'C inside this place yesterday, so clearly no one will ever dine-in) The sandwich was the smallest chicken sandwich i have ever had in my life,,,... read more

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
