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 refuse to be bias when it comes to (hot) fried chicken but I am officially bias to Dave's Hot Chicken until shown otherwise. Personally, the texture was beyond par. This may be due to the fact that it's not overly sauced and closer to seeming like it was rubbed seasoning on the chicken tenders itself, which we were huge fans of. Furthermore, the flavor was absolutely heavenly. It was a mixture of what seemed like light curry and a whole lot of seasonings I could not place. The light sweetness on the bread was a treat on ... read more

My boyfriend and I come here often for a late-night snack and it's always super tasty. We usually order the combo with 1 slider and 1 tender to split, and it always fills us up. The spice on the chicken is perfect when I order mild and the fries are SO good. I only dock one star because sometimes the service is slow and inattentive to customers.

Food & service was fast! I believe they fried our chicken once we got there, so food was fresh & didn't take too long. I really liked their crinkle cut fries! They were crispy and potatoey inside. The tenders were large & juicy with a light crispy batter coated in spices & seasoning. I wish the chicken itself had flavor, it didn't taste like it had been marinated. All of the flavor was concentrated on the batter and the tenders are pretty thick, so you lose some of the flavor as you bite into it.

Absolutely love this place. I would visit on Sunday evenings and the gal who worked the front was super friendly and attentive. Chicken Sliders are the bomb with the secret sauce. Make sure you don't plan anything after eating because you'll be in a food coma.

Honestly this place was just okay. The cashier seemed to have a bad attitude nothing awful she just seemed tired. My food was ready and she waited a while to hand it to me but it was still hot. Overall everything was just average. The food didn't taste seasoned at all.

Popped in because I needed to be a grown up and eat dinner before getting cookies across the street. It was a quick visit which was great for my first time there. The restaurant is on the smallish side with about 10 tables crammed onto one side. The tables were pretty tight and I witnessed people trying to squeeze between them to pick up their food from the counter. The menu is short and easy to navigate. The food came out within ten minutes and it was fresh and hot. While I finished all of my food, the flavor of the chicken... read more
