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.

This place is a great halal fast food type place for hot chicken sandwiches. I am not a huge fan of the nashville hot sauce but for those who are this is a spot to try.

The food is amazing and the staff is great. My only problem is competing with a bunch of high school kids for a table and chair....and they're bringing their own food, or food from other restaurants. I thought it was a business, not Lane Tech school's cafeteria

Solid chicken place. They have varying heat levels to try from. I got medium and my nose was running. Their portions are huge! A slider is really the size of a full size sandwich. Definitely recommend. They were really quick to serve for lunch too. I was surprised. Music was a little loud. They have plenty of free parking in the back. Will definitely go again.

My friends and I split the slider hot box and a few orders of fries. We are a group that loves flavor and Dave's did not disappoint at all. The seasonings and tenderness of the chicken are phenomenal. The bun is soft and the slaw is tasty. Fries stayed crispy and were seasoned well too. Highly recommended.

I really want to give 4 1/2 on this one. I'll start by saying this was our first visit to this chicken shack, and as far as the chicken goes... this one flew the coop! What do you mean by that, you ask? It was out of this world! The flavors were precise, the texture and juicy moisture of the chicken left nothing more to be desired! We had 3 different flavors of heat ranging from mild to extra hot. (NOT A REAPER KINDA GUY!) They all were perfect in their own way. The different levels of spice were still noticeable after tryi... read more

Excellent, fresh fried chicken. You can actually watch them breading the raw chicken in the back. Such a rarity in an age of frozen food. The heat levels come from zero to reaper, so you can sort of choose your own adventure. They aren't messing around though, so be prepared if you choose the reaper! You'll need water, milk, napkins, tissues and possibly a bathroom about an hour later! The portions are pretty generous; I usually get the sliders and it probably has about twice the amount of chicken you'd expect in each one.... read more

Super yummy and super spicy! The Dave's sauce is a great add to the very tasty chicken sandwich. The slider is a great portion size, it was just the right amount of food.
