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.

My sandwich looks like it got punched, but the food was still ok. The ambiance and service is nothing out of the ordinary. However, I hear the random rubber chicken sound sometimes and I don't know why. There is open parking and outdoor seating.

This place was pretty good! The food was spot on juicy tender chicken with the right amount of spice. I ordered the hot and it was perfect. The service was nice and friendly and very attentive. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Chicken Tenders was good, but how can you only have one type of sauce, if you don't eat mayo, you're screwed! Also Mac and cheese was only okay, I will have to bring my own sauce. Will try again. 

Business response:

Of the Dave's Hot I've been to, this store is probably my favorite. Their customer service and quality is typically better than the other stores. Not sure what they do different, maybe management? But either way, this is my preferred store. As for the food, extra hot is the way to go for me. And I get the sandwich and tender combo. I don't really like fried foods, but this is one exception to the rule. I'm fairly certain they made the reaper version simply to keep plumbers in business....... 

Business response:

Aww we are so glad that you enjoyed your meal and that we were able to create a memorable experience for you. We hope that you come back again soon!

Karla, Simon, and Kyla are the best workers I have EVER met. All so sweet and kind. The service is very fast and food taste amazing. Perfect crunch and preferred spice level medium hits very well. The place is very clean and up to date. Will definitely comeback for the food and the atmosphere. Simon is the best face to see walking up to the register. Sweet smile and is heartwarming. Kyla is sweet and an amazing fast worker.
