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.

A bit of a wait but didn't live up to the hype for me. This was slightly different than other hot chicken places I've tried. You get a lot of food though.

Went here to try their hottest chicken. They make you sign a waiver prior to trying. I thought it was a nice level of spice but nothing worth signing a waiver over. The sandwich overall is a Nashville style sandwich. Will go back and maybe get the hot sauce on the side also to add some more gear to the sandwich.

This place let me say that the staff is super nice and helpful. The establishment itself has cool decor and nice patio with plenty of seating. The seasoning is good , and the breading is consistent. If it had the option to get a thigh or a leg it would be 5 stars . But if you like chicken breast your gonna love it . I ordered 3 two slider meals with fries and cheese sauce, with two extra sides , and 3 cokes came to 61 dollars. Just let you know if the cost .

Hands down the best chicken I have ever had. I got the mild sauce and it wasn't too spicy at all. Will be coming back soon. :)

Daves hot chicken is exactly that. It's large portion spicy. hot chicken . Order the mild or 1 only and its good.

My friends and I went to Dave's Hot Chicken and honestly, it was kinda a disappointment/overrated. Although the fries were good the chicken wasn't hitting. I don't want my personal experience to stop anyone from trying.

Had an Uber eats order through Dave's Hot Chicken and the milkshake I ordered never made it with my food, but after calling they told me they would have a free one waiting for me when I would come in next. They not only offered me one but a second milkshake for free. Outstanding customer service and food/milkshakes taste great. Will definitely be back.
