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 food is ok. Sandwiches are cooked to order, so the chicken is still hot when served. Fries is good, not too crispy and not soggy. It's good for family, friends, and for those looking for a fast food joint that's decent. Service is alright as well.

The food is great, the various spice levels make this a great option for the whole family to love. The service is great and the employees are kind. Andres was a great help and very accommodating. This is one of my favorite spots in Union City.

Inside was very loud and decorated with graffiti art on the wall. Art was cool, music was kinda annoyingly loud, standard pop and rap. Service was pretty good, moving fast but friendly enough. Kinda expensive for chicken tenders/sandwiches but standard for the bay area compared to places like chicken drip and angry chicks. You will be full on 2 tenders and fries. Worth it if you have some extra money to spend and don't want to spend the time making your own tenders.

**Review: Dave's Hot Chicken** I recently had the chance to try Dave's Hot Chicken, sampling both the sliders and chicken pieces with Hot and Reaper spice levels. Here's a breakdown of my experience: **Spice Levels:** One of the standout features at Dave's Hot Chicken is their Reaper spice level, which is so intense that they require you to sign a waiver acknowledging the risk. However, for someone accustomed to the fiery heat of Andhra cuisine, the Reaper spice didn’t pose much of a challenge. It was certainly hot, but no... read more
