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 really liked the food here, the spice on the chicken is really good and I love being able to choose how much spice i want on the chicken. I especially love how diverse the menu is, which gives variety.

The fries are really good here and sandwich is ok. A good place to eat at after watching a movie at Century Theater.

Daves Hot chicken is my favorite place for a chicken sandwich. I love the spice not breaded coating and the juiciness of ghee chicken. I recently went to another chicken place Raising Canes and Daves Hot Chicken kicks The other places ass!

Visited a few weeks ago and got 2x #2 (mild) with cheese on both and substituted fries with kale salad on one order. Food tasted good (spice level was right) and service was pleasant. However, I have to knock 2 stars off for the size of the chicken. All 4 sliders were tiny compared to the Dave's Hot Chicken in Dublin, and looked nothing like the pictures where the chicken is clearly bigger than the bun. Staff were also stingy when asked for extra sauce, only giving one extra sachet. Was very disappointed, especially since we... read more

Ordered the 2 slider w/ fry combo. Medium and hot. So good. Our favorite combo. It was crowded and a lot of to go orders. If you want a seat/table,, come early.

Amazing chicken sandwich's! Chicken is fresh and tasty! Dining in is a no for me, tables are sticky and atmosphere needs some work, but I just get food to go and it's the best.

Ok. The chicken is good. Not great. But you can get it is a rainbow of spice levels and that IS great. If you want that. The plain is just too plain. I had expected some southern flavors. But no flavor at all was what I got. Medium is just about the start of spicy. Mild is too light to even taste. Hot was getting there! I am not sure very hot will be over the top but the Reaper level sounds dangerous! The Mac and cheese was very underwhelming. Pasta was not Al dente and the cheese was just plain velveeta! $6 was too much for... read more

I've been seeing EVERYWHERE. We'd drive by this place a few times and would always see this in IG when it first came out. It was one of those things where I wondered if the hype was worth it because I'm quite afraid of dry chicken sandwiches as most I've had were dry. We decided to get the sliders in a bowl with extra coleslaw.. one medium and one reaper. Surprisingly, the chicken was NOT dry and tasted super juicy! I also loved the sauce it came with because it did compliment the chicken really well. I think in terms of sp... read more
