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 back again. There was still a dinner rush but was still able to get my order promptly. I had the combo and the chicken was juicy and full of flavor.

We always get their combo with the 2 burgers and we share the fries as the meal is pretty heavy. Everything is delicious, the chicken is so well seasoned, and they give you a spicy mayo dip you can dress your burg or dunk your fries. There's also a patio upstairs now (El Patio - not Dave's Hot Chicken) and the vibes are super chill, and you can grab drinks while nomming on your chicken burgs.

Simple and clear menu. Extremely clean space. Very friendly service and great hot chicken and fries to top it off. My husband and I grabbed two sliders and fries before leaving Toronto and were definitely pleased. We had mild and medium. The flavor was great and the spice matched the level.

Recently tried the new Leslieville location...drove by, saw the cool sign, thought....ooooh, chicken wings so did a u-turn....only to sadly find that they only have TWO basic items on the menu....sliders and tenders. The rest of the menu is comprised of various combinations of those two items with various sides or seasoning. Then there's the bread, which looks like kind of heavily buttered squished wonder bread they line their takeout containers with, not sure. I should note that I ordered one tender to keep me going and ... read more
