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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

This review is from my experience here on Sunday around 3:40 PM. The person manning the drive thru station was AMAZING. Drove by a couple of times and finally decided to take the leap to try them. He obviously could tell it was my first time so he answered some questions about the combos and helped me make my decision. (There was no cars behind me at this time.) When I pulled up, he gave me a few recommendations on the best way to consume my sliders and he was SPOT ON. Would not have considered adding honey on the chic... read more

I had dave's hot chicken for the first time and got the #2. I was pleasantly surprised about how good their chicken was. It was very juicy and I love how they give you the dave's sauce in packets because I am a sauce FIEND. I got 2 sliders to be flavored hot and medium. The hot wasn't that hot and was tolerable but I think I would go for extra spicy next time for more of a kick. Medium felt like nothing, almost comparable to adding black pepper to something. Adding honey to the chicken was also game changer. They add alot of... read more

My husband and I went through the drive thru and pulled up to the order box. The gentleman taking our order asked if it was our first time or if we were returning guests. It was so nice as it happened to be our first time and he explained the menu and options in a time efficient but thorough way. When we got to the pay window a different gentleman was there and he was super nice and helpful. Would go back just because of the customer service alone. Food was hot and flavorful. Very great service.

Thanks for the love!

Best fried chicken in Irvine! The chicken isn't random unidentifiable pieces lol it's actual white meat. It's not the cheapest but worth checking out!
