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.

Luis at this location gave some of the best service I have ever experienced. He was attentive, friendly, and super informative as it was our first time going to a Dave's Hot Chicken. The food was delicious, the restaurant is clean, and Luis' excellent customer service will definitely have us coming back again.

I admit at first I was hesitant to try it and actually believe I would enjoy it. I will say the quality of chicken is great then the bread is a nice combo with it.
