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.

Dave's Hot Chicken was really really good . I had the number 4 . Next time I want to try the nuggets . The workers were extremely nice and helpful . The orders came out all correct . I feel like this is more to my taste than Raising Canes .

$30 for 2 people to eat which in this time is reasonable but for the 20+ minute wait time I wouldn't say is worth it. In my opinion the place is overhyped, great amount of spice however, and the fries were quite good, as well the Mac and cheese. 

Business response:

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?

1) these expensive combos out included drink. 2) to you're in the south it's not that hard to make real tea especially if you're gonna charge $3-4 dollars for a drink 3) I've been to some places that ask you to tip, but it's because they at least come out and see if you need anything, or they would at least bring the food to you, hear your requesting a tip then you yell my number from the counter for me to go get my food after I've made my drink Pluses are the food is good and the portion sizes are decent. 

Business response:

We appreciate your feedback! We understand your concerns about the pricing, drink options, and service. We’ll address the points you raised with the team to ensure a better experience. We're glad to hear the food was good and the portion sizes were to your liking. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
