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 Fullerton location is open! MUST TRY NOW! It's our second go at Dave's- as our first time left a less than desirable impression.

We had just missed the lunch rush and were immediately greeted and handed our goods in a flash. Now for... read more

It was ok. Stingy with their kale slaw. But flavor was ok. Maybe next time I'll get hot cuz medium had no spice to it. I needed more of it. But thanks for the free drink. I really appreciate it that. And maybe ask for more slaw cuz it did needed that flavor of the slaw there. Chicle was juicy
