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.

I didn't have such a great experience with this place. Under cooked chicken is not what I ordered. My stomach was not happy. Plus the taste bleh.

Maybe it being a Friday evening, the dine in area was dirty, and tables were not cleaned by staff between visitors. Soda fountain had no carbonation, and the napkins were not right for eating tenders with your fingers. Most of all, the style of hot chicken being a dry rub (unlike Nashville-style) made it salty and unpleasantly dry for what most hot chicken is. Had expected better given the high ratings, but many likely have not had Nashville-style hot chicken to compare it to.

Unfortunately, this Dave's is barely like the original. My biggest issue is that the heat levels are not what they should be. Either they are not seasoning like they should or seasonings have been changed but the Reaper in Plano,TX is the Hot in LA/Hollywood. Doesn't make much sense becoming a chain if you don't uphold the standards that DHC started with.

The family and I got food poisoning. Uber refunded us but it'll be a while before I give this place another shot.

I am a regular customer but usually I eat in the restaurant and my order is perfect. Toddy I could not take the heat so I ordered my food for carry out and had my husband pick it up and all f my cheese fry orders had no cheese and all the woman wanted to do is refund the cheese I had to tell her I'm not eating these fries so she refunded $8 for the fries after he burned gas and came out in this heat . So unacceptable she could've given a gift card or something look at this picture where is the cheese ?

not a fan at all. the batter threw me off. its not light, not soggy, nor crispy. its like it was painted on or something. so hard to describe. i think the high ratings are due to the seasonings? fries were fine and so was the cole slaw but $15 for 2 tenders, sides and a drink is a bit much. JEANS: OK by far ORDER: at counter

It seemed like a new place and who does'nt like chicken sammy every now and then (besides vegetarians)? Well the menu was simple and easy so that was good. The chicken? My life training eating pickled cabbage aka kimchee did not prepare me for the heavy salt ingrained in the cayenne/paparika dry rub on a crunchy chicken tender. Someone told me this was nashville style but I think I will stick with chickfila. The powdered spice was alright but the saltiness was just too much to go furthur and enjoy the flavor.

No offense but nothing special. The Reaper should be called the sleeper. Zero heat and food was dry.
