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 so wish i was joking but we just watched an employee take a fry from our pick up order, crouch down behind the counter, eat it, and then give us our order a few minutes later. i mean at least the hand he used had a glove but i'm still appalled

The food is always good here, but the workers seemed like they just wanted to mess around in the back. They also have forgotten my drink multiple times while going to the drive-through.

The food is good but I think this location needs to work on a few things. First, if your employees are going to wear a mask they need to speak up when calling out order numbers or a microphone needs to be used. The music is super loud in the restaurant so people can't hear soft speakers especially when wearing a mask. Either tell the counter person to ditch the mask, speak up, lower the music volume or use a microphone. Second, there should be 2 counter employees every shift, or at least on busy days/nights. If one is takin... read more

today was the first time trying dave's and honestly it's so mid and kinda nasty. the chicken tasted like it was lab grown. the chicken tasted undercooked and grossed me out, i can almost promise you i'm sure it's lab grown. the chicken, which is the main star of the plate was not it for me at all. i liked the fries and that's it. also the sliders were dry and they put almost no coleslaw.

After not getting my order correct , the manager Katherine tries to take my order back and make a slider out of the chicken they had served meanwhile my party was enjoying their meal , told her that is a health code violation and all I would like is one slider , she said smugly that they will throw my order away and make another sandwich , I asked to keep it as not to waste it and she said "we don't give food away " I then said rather than waste it I will purchase a slider and take the other breast home, she said you have t... read more

Food was terrible. I've been craving good hott and spicy chicken for a few days. Came here to try it out because it popped up in my mind. I ordered two chicken tenders with medium spice. The chicken was only seasoned on ONE side of both pieces of chicken. There was hardly any sauce dripping from the chicken. It wasn't flavorful at all and the oil the chicken is cooked in tasted old. I definitely won't be coming back. Service was good.

The chicken was good but their menu was very limited. I don't think I will be back as nothing was exceptional about it and service was very slow. We waited almost 20 min for a restaurant that only serves 4 things. The portion of French fries was also small for the price. The restaurant was very loud. We ended up eating outside as we couldn't hear ourselves think.
