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.

Great spot for a late night snack/meal. It's in the heart of Midtown so you might anticipate the type of crowd late on a weekend. They do close the doors around 10 or 11 and will only take orders online, but it works well. The chicken is really good and could probably go up a notch in spiciness. Their milkshakes are a bit runny. At the time we went, there was a check in offer for a free milkshake that didn't seem to be honored anymore, so just a heads up. This is no fault of the restaurant, but the bathroom was pretty ... read more

Chicken is so good... just look at the photos on Yelp to see! Dave's sauce is also amazing. Recommend ordering one or two more Dave's sauces if you're a sauce lover like me! Would definitely consider this place next time I want a fast food meal

Delicious and super flavorful! Came here for a late night snack. My partner and I split the two slider meal and it was the perfect amount of food for us. We went for the medium which was a good spice level. Enough to give you a little tingle but not enough to make your nose runny. Will definitely be craving this next time we're out late.

My favorite of the hot chicken joints in Houston! The hot is the perfect level of heat for me personally and goes great with some honey. Love the fries and Dave's sauce. The Mac and cheese isn't my style, but is still good! Pretty in line price wise with most other places. Overall worth giving a shot against your favorite spot.

All these hype about their Chicken sandwich, for me it was just meh... nothing special, nothing much to write here. Maybe I've tried Howlin Rays in Los Angeles before, so I set the standard too high. But Daves doesnt even come close to them, bland chicken, no kick spice to it even though i ordered very hot and too small size. Good fries tho. Overall i would not come back and will try other similar places. Advice and notes to management, your team are severly understaffed, service was unnecessarily long because the cashier w... read more

True this place on a whim and glad I did! I ordered the extra hot combo 3 which included a slider and a tender. You get fries, pickles and a sauce for dipping. For me the spice was just right, hot, but not inedible. The coleslaw on the slider took a higher ranking over the simple tender because of the sandwich crunch. A couple of things to note, it's a small location so it's easy for them to get overwhelmed. Our milkshake was forgotten about, but the order taker apologized for it. Parking was plenty and right in fro... read more
