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.

Chicken was overall good just a little greasy. Came out fast and hot. Customer service was lacking and was a disappointment with dirty tables and staff not friendly or helpful. Pricing for two chicken tenders, fries and two bottles of water was $17. I assume that pricing is reasonable.

I was expecting much more from here. When hot chicken is in the name you expect a certain level of heat. I found the chicken to be more sweet then hot, more of like honey flavored. The fries were ok, a bit soggy and the Mac and cheese was runny. They also forgot my chocolate shake with my order. Maybe it was an off day? I probably will give this one more chance, hopefully that day I will be able to get heat and not sweetness with my chicken.

I waited a bit for the traffic to die down before trying Dave's Hot Chicken but finally had a chance on a weekday during lunch time. It wasn't too busy, not much of a line either which was nice. My friend that just moved back to the area from Houston met up with me. Ordering was fine but the cashiers were very blunt, as I was asked immediately, "do you know what you want?" My friend stated "wow they're kind of rude." Not a good first impression. The person calling out order numbers redeemed that impression as she was friendl... read more

Everything from the ease of the ordering to how fast our food was done and to top it all off with how good our food was. This was my first time here and I will be coming back because of how flavorful the chicken is and the way the chicken is cooked it's just perfect. Continue doing what your doing because it's great.

Went right at opening, got through the line quickly. I had a few questions about spice levels and the cashier was so helpful! Hanna and her team were doing such a great job to keep the line moving and answering questions. Took my order home and I couldn't believe how well it tasted after sitting for a while. Chicken was crispy on the outside, very flavorful! Loved how many pickles I got. Cannot wait to go back!

I waited a little bit to go because as you can imagine, any new place will always be packed. I went a little after typical lunch time and there was a line but it moved steadily and the food didn't take very long to come out. I definitely ordered more food than I needed but I wanted to try several things to see if it was worth coming back. I started off with the sliders. These are pretty nice sized and will fill most people up. I got the Hot sauce and it was definitely hot, but for me it was the perfect amount of heat. I g... read more

Finally made it over here as it's a had a ton of hype from friends. Well, it lived up to the hype. The sweet, spicy and oh so crispy and juicy chicken is amazing, I've actually been thinking about it all day since, "...when's the next time I'll be able to go back?" I did the two slider meal with fries and it was a lot of food, may split it with someone and order an extra side next time. Everything was good, loved the sauce, put some honey on it...yum. The best part is they're open Sundays to meet that traditional post-church... read more
