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 order the 2 slider meal at medium and a side of hot nuggets! Perfect meal! The medium sliders have the perfect level of heat without masking the taste. The hot nuggets are the perfect snacking bite if you enjoy some heat! The Dave's sauce ties the meal together.

Totally in Love with this place!!! I get why people hype it up so much. My love for Canes is real but have you tried chicken tenders with heat levels because here you got options. It's a hidden gem in Fullerton. Got to chicken spot with juicy halal chicken (which apparently pretty popular for), great atmosphere and amazing customer service.

Chicken was proper Nashville style. And in typical Nashville style, the heal ratings are in a different category. Fries were crispy and seasoned well. Mac n cheese was decent. But overall great meal. Highly recommend trying.

So...HOT! I had the slider/ tender combo. It was sooo good, but I didn't realize I ordered hot until I was halfway done. It was bearable with great flavor, if u really want to enjoy it, I recommend at least going medium. I had it about 3 hours ago, and my lips are still tingling. Either way, ....really good and crispy! I'll most certainly be back

Greetings my Foodzies, tonight I had a taste for something spicy. We decided to try a place in Melrose Park called Dave's Hot Chicken at 2615 W. North Avenue. Nice place with white tables and red medal chairs. The girl that served us was very nice, she greeted us with a smile before we even made it to the counter. The menu was nice and small which is nice. They had southern jazz music playing which we enjoyed. They have 5 different spice levels from mild to Reaper. Glenda and the mild spice slider and I went for the medium s... read more
