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.

Probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I got the Dave's #2 Hot which was more than I could eat. One slider and fries would have been plenty
I bought the sliders meal. It was fine. I felt like the ratio of chicken to breading was off - not enough good meaty bites. Good crisp on the chicken, though. The fries were also good. You do get a good amount of food, too. For those wondering about heat levels - mild is an accurate name. Not a ton of heat, but some good flavor.

The food was amazing I want to thank Houston because he is so amazing of his customer service his smile his attitude is out of this world
Delicious food, friendly service, and clean environment! The only downside from my visit was the long wait time (around 30 mins in the winter weather) for ordering, but I expected it since it was opening day. Whether it's at this location or back home in LA, I will certainly revisit. Also, see attached for my order. Dave's #2: 2 sliders, cheese, fries, kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce. Dave's #3: 1 tender with sliced bread, 1 slider, fries, kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce. Mac & cheese on the side
Wowza this place is so good! And they have online ordering/pickup which is super convenient and helps you avoid the line. Tried the slider plus tender and subbed the fries for Mac and cheese. I got both the tender and slider medium, my husband got his hot. The medium was less spicy than I anticipated but had a good amount of spice. I would say if you're in between a mild vs medium go with the medium. The Mac and cheese is also extra cheesy and delicious.
Very good chicken, some the best, if not the best since I've moved to Cleveland (will take recommendations). The levels of spice are quite fun to explore, I've found hot to be my sweet spot but wouldn't recommend if you didn't like heat. Juicy crunchy chicken, what's not to like.
Well pluck me bald and call me drafty this is just plain damn good chicken. Line is long but moves fast and the food is worth it. Honestly the menu has three meal choices which keeps it simple. 1. 2 tenders 2. 2 sliders 3. 1 slider 1 tender Add cheese to them sliders. So other thing is I run about 6'3" and 220 and can put some food away so my first time I ordered #2 w cheese and added a tender. Sliders are so big I couldn't eat the tender. I've also only gone as high as medium heat and tempted to go higher. Staff real... read more
Amazing. I would give it 6 stars if I could. Waited in line that wrapped outside the building for 30 minutes, but so worth it. Got two extra hot sliders with cheese and cole slaw. They were amazing. I love hot stuff and it was the perfect heat intensity. Def will make you sweat. Also ordered a hot tender just to compare it to the extra hot flavor. The hot tender was def milder and didn't seem to hot to me, but I love super spicy chicken. Other than Hattie B in Nashville, this is THE BEST Nashville hot chicken I've ever had.
