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 BEST fried chicken I ever ate in the USA! Inexpensive, their sauce and fries are also great. Perfect spices, service is always on time. They mostly have a team of colored people doing back and front end jobs. I like this because I know typically chains strongly prefer white people at front desks. Just an observation, and I hope I don't offend anyone. I prefer the Chicken Sandwich slightly over the Slider. But I get a combo with both every time!

Dave's was just ok. With all of the hype I had high expectations and don't know if they were really met. I got the slider and tender - my husband did too. We both agreed that the slider was very tasty, but the tender was really just not. Its has a dry rub so after a while you feel like you are just choking this down. The pickles are a nice little side but pickles do not make a meal. And the fries are really just ok too. Other than the slider, we were underwhelmed by the meal. If I went back, I would just get the sliders.

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

Great tasting spicy fried chicken sandwich. I love how you can select your spice level. I got the medium spicy chicken sandwich and it was great. The fries are spiced and good too. Also a good price.

possibly held my expectations too high, but this was very mid. chicken quality is average - nothing saying that this place is a special chicken shop.

Great food, since it's my first time trying this restaurant, but didn't receive my entire order at pickup today. Other than that, the food is delicious.

Even though it was really busy when we came in the restaurant was really clean and they got our order out really quickly. I'm not the best with spicy food so mild was enough for me but my husband enjoyed the hot. They also gave out stickers for the new movie scream 6 

Business response:

Glad you guys enjoyed it! Hope you guys get to go see the movie soon, its killer!!

i order from here every couple weeks when i'm in town. i haven't eaten at the location itself and always order out but the place is in a nice busy shopping center so it's lively. Staff are always friendly when i pick up my food and it's always ready on time. Food has been great consistently as well. I haven't had them ever mess up on any of my orders which says a lot about the competence of the staff. My family and i thoroughly enjoy their food every time :)
