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.

First time entered. Confusing order board. Website is easier to understand. Counter person, blah. Tried asking about getting a sandwich only and a exasperated answer. Which leads to their pricing being out of line. Get a better value and tasting meal at Wendy's. Only because it new did it look ok. Not a cozy or comfortable place for a break.

Nice place inside not too much seating but in a really good area customer service was A1 The macaroni and cheese I'll give it 2 out of 10 I would do a better by going to buy some frozen I order medium sauce, chicken tenders, and 2 1 slider The chicken was juicy it had crunch. But chicken lack flavor 4 out of 10 the coleslaw was bland 2 out of 10. The pickle is what save the day? I would rather go to KFC. It's better and cheaper

Meh. Big chicken tenders that were cooked in too hot of oil (outsides were burnt, deep inside was raw). Seems all the pieces are the same, they just give you a different flavored sauce packet depending on what you ordered. Teen-age staff couldn't care less about customer service. No desire to return.

I didn't find it very tasty. I agree with another yelper that it was very much just smoked paprika and chili powder but I would also say there was some sugar added too. However it seemed the most important ingredient in all of cooking was missing from the tenders, fries and especially the kale slaw - salt.. even if just a little. The kale slaw was disappointingly bland for such a decent portion size. Regretfully I'm one and done with Dave's Hot Chicken. I gave the extra star for cleanliness as the restaurant was very clean.

Was just ok chicken was similar to a Nashville hot but heavy on the seasoning and dry. Not as expected simple/basic at a high price point.

I honestly don't see the hype about this place. I've tried it twice and the chicken has no flavor. I really wanted to like it. It's not bad but there's just no seasoning and the mac and cheese was watery.

Terrible. The service was alright but the chicken was dry. Waste of time to drive over there

Tried it for the first time tonight after hearing many good things about it. I have to say, it didn't live up to all the hype. The music was very loud, too loud to even talk to my boyfriend sitting at the same table as me, and when we placed the order, the cashier wasn't friendly at all. We ordered a #1 hot, #3 medium and a large strawberry milkshake. I personally think it is a bit overpriced. The bread underneath the chicken tender was soggy. It didn't even seem like it was toasted. The flavor and chicken seemed to be of go... read more
