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.

recently went with friends. I ordered the chicken tenders (item #1), and my friends tried the chicken sandwiches (items #2 and #3) with medium spice. The food was excellent. Their chicken sandwiches and tenders are consistently good. If you like a kick, you'll love their spicy options. Service was quick; you order at the counter and pick up your food when it's ready. The restaurant's ambiance is casual, similar to a McDonald's.

Appreciate you stopping by, Usha! Glad to hear the tenders and sandwiches hit the spot. Sounds like you and your friends picked the perfect spice level! Hope to see you all back for another round soon.
Medium has a good kick of spice if ur looking for spice. Mild not so much. Lots of seating- indoor and outdoor. Next to the movie theatre & starbucks & baskin robins

Finally had Dave's Hot Chicken and it was hella good. Got the medium hot tender which wasn't hot at all. Next time I'm gonna kick it up a notch with the spice level. I love the fact that it comes with pickle and that the serving is generous. Speaking of being generous, they didn't skimp on giving me extra sauce. I really like that the tender wasn't dried out and it was well seasoned. I also got some cheese fries and a strawberry shake - both were equally good. I like the fact that the shake was super thick and the french fr... read more

Love that you enjoyed the food! Sounds like you’re ready to take the heat up a notch next time. Appreciate the detailed review—hope to see you for another late-night visit soon!
The food was good, but i do feel it's overhyped, but this to me is just another fast food fried chicken spot. Though you can select your spice level, there's not much flavor going on in the spices like other fried chicken spots. I will say their sauce and Slaw definitely save the whole shindig, and the vibe is dope with the playlist selection they got. Maybe because we always go towards the night we get the rush service so maybe that's why we don't get the hype of Dave's service was good though, those taking orders in the ... read more

Love this place! I always get the slider with fries with medium heat, it is always really tasty!
I have been here a few times. It's really really good. I had been craving it for a few weeks and finally broke down and drove to Union Landing. Friendly staff, delicious food and no wait time. I got the mild tenders and the wife got extra hot. Restaurant was clean and well maintained and the 2 of us ate for about $28 bucks. Highly recommended
Sliders are great! Always consistent food and service. However the location is not clean at all. Very dirty tables.
