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.

Food is good but service has been lacking. They only have 1 cook and 1 cashier when there is a line out the door. Hire more help for busy days Thursday-Sunday. Wait time for food is 25min+ on a Thursday at 4pm.

The menu is simple, 4 choices of hot chicken tenders, sliders or both. Tenders arrive on sliced, white bread, sliders on a bun with pickles, "kale slaw", and a chipotle mayo sauce known as Dave's Sauce. The Good: Whole, lean, chicken breast, great quality. Spice level customizable, ranging from "no spice" to "reaper" (which requires the customer to sign a waiver), nice touch. The pickles and slaw were crispy and added great texture and flavor. The Bad: Old oil. The fries and chicken were very dark and oily, the oil was i... read more

I like this place. It's totally "fast food" but to me the food itself is a notch above the average fast food. They are pretty fast for how busy they can get. The setting itself is just the typical fast food place. Like Subway, McDonalds or anything else but the food itself tastes fresh and flavorful. Highly recommended if you're craving a chicken sandwich or tenders. And they have a combo where you can get one of each #3 which is what I got. If you're on the fence about this place check it out.

The first time I had Dave's hot chicken I made the mistake and ordered the "hot". I couldn't enjoy it because my mouth was on fire. So I decided to give it another try and get the "medium". I must say that's it didn't disappoint one bit. Their chicken makes Raisin Canes taste like school cafeteria food.

This is the 1st time I've been here. I passed it quite a few times, thinking they only had HOT chicken, by the name of the business. LOL! Anyways, I must say this is one of the BEST chicken places I've been to. The chicken is tender & juicy, and you can pick what kind of heat you prefer to the chicken,,,,,, raging from no heat to extreme heat, 7 different ones! And their sides are very good too. The place itself has quite a few tables, air conditioned, and plays cool music. My new to go chicken place, h... read more
