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

Very pricey for 2 small tenders, fries and 2 pieces of white bread. $15 with a drink is almost double Zaxby and it's half the food. Flavor was good on the chicken and pickles were fresh. Fries were good but you really can't mess them up. Line was long but good comes out fast. Tables were dirty as turnover was too quick to keep up. Maybe we will try again once they are settled.

Dave's Hot Chicken is located by Independence Mall next to Masa sushi. Waited in a long line on their grand opening day, but their staff tried to make the line go as fast as possible. After you place your order with the cashier, wait until your number is called and then sit anywhere inside. There is also outdoor seating. Cool colorful graffiti is painted all over the walls inside. They were pretty fast in getting my order of two sliders and one side ready. Everything was automatically served in to-go boxes. Downsides are t... read more
When we heard there was a new hot chicken chain coming to Wilmington, we knew we wanted to try it ASAP. We decided to take a chance and show up on opening day and arrived around 11:30am. The wait was about 40 minutes, but once we ordered the food came out super fast. It's definitely a little pricey, but even though you only get "two tenders" it's actually a good amount of food with the sides. I think they handled opening day pretty well, only letting in a few guests at a time and managing the line to keep it from getti... read more
