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 JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

Both times that i've visited I've had an issue with my order. We always check our bag before leaving when we pick up food and we had something missing from our order both times. While this would normally garner a one or two star review, they've always fixed their mistake and made up for it with a free item and making everything right. Some places won't do that for you so I appreciate the level of care they have for their customers. I just wish the mistake weren't made in the first place. The food is absolutely amazing and I ... read more

Honestly this place is very underrated! The food is delicious, although it is a little overpriced for what it is. I've never had to wait to place an order and the food has always came out within 5 minutes. No, the staff isn't the nicest, but come on, it's a fast food restaurant where employees are probably earning barely the minimum wage. What would you expect? On cleanness I'd give it a 5/10, given that there's always been dirty tables every time I've been. Restrooms weren't spotless either.
This was some great hot chicken. Yelp did it again. Never fails to point me in the direction of some amazing food.
The chicken was seasoned well and I enjoyed their spicy sandwiches. The cheese fries weren't soft but crunchy and just right.
Got the number one, two tenders (I chose hot heat) and fries. Came with two pickle slices, some excellent dipping sauce and two slices of bread. Very tasty, served very hot, which I lived. Fries were crunchy and maybe sort of Cajun style, excellent. Tenders had a perfect breading, and were huge: got to-go boxes and a second meal out of one order. The cost initially made me balk when ordering, but not when I got the food. Big servings. Big open dining with wood tables. Fast food style layout, plastic serving basket... read more
Amazing food!!! They were so nice to us and definitely coming back to this location too bad I live very far but when I'm near definitely coming for some Dave's hot chicken Charles thanks for the food!!!
Great food and reminded us of home back in California with the vibe and decor inside along with great service
Have been hoping a Nashville Style Hot Chicken place would pop up near me and i was pleasantly surprised to come across this place today. A bit on the $$$ Pricy side i will admit. The Sliders were excellent & fries were great. They cook to order here so there will be a wait on the meal, but it sure is worth it... I ordered mine HOT as there is a heat level option and mine was hot. 2 more level up's on heat but i like to taste my food... lol Will certainly be back !!!
I never review food, mostly out of laziness and by the time I'm digesting I'm in a food coma. But HOLY CRAP, I am in heaven and I'm only ordering this slider and chicken tender combo for the next 1000 years. Their Mac and cheese had me making sounds that I'm sure were only acceptable in the safety of my own home. Their logo is just foreshadowing for the face you'll make after your first bite.
