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

I love hot chicken and this place is awesome - I had a co-worker that went so they picked up my food for me so I can't tell you about the wait or the inside of the place I got the 2 slider meal - they were NOT sliders they were full ass sandwiches! The sauce they have is great too - would eat again

Okay! Was dying to try this place and it was fire. We did have to wait outside a bit, but it was worth it. The sliders are like a normal size sandwich, so don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach. They have the best option, if you can't decide they have the one tender and one slider. The fries are so good with the seasoning they sprinkle on there. They have different temps of sauces: mild, medium,hot etc. I swear I could eat here all the time. It's just that good. It doesn't take long for your food. They have plenty o... read more

Really enjoyed my lunch from Dave's Hot Chicken today. I got a #3 which is 1 slider and 1 tender and fries! It was so good. I got medium flavor so it wasn't too hot but still had a little kick. I would get this flavor again. The inside was huge, there were lots of seats and space. The people were so nice and the food came out really quick. It's on Mass Ave so it is street parking and you have to pay (except on Sundays). It was so good, go check them out!

Had lunch there today 10:45 am before any crowd. Place was clean and the staff friendly. I liked the food and would go back. I could not find any pricing online before I went and order on-line is not functional yet. I ordered #3 that includes 1 tender, 1 slider, and fries. I ordered it extra hot. There was way too much food for me. Next time I will order 2 tenders.

I came on opening weekend. The line was outside but moved quickly. The manager came out and explained the menu and let's in groups of people at a time. It was very organized. I ordered the two sliders, mild. With fries and a side of Mac and cheese. The mild was still pretty spicy as it made my nose bridge sweat LOL. The sliders were HUGE, so don't get hung up on the word "slider". I could only eat one of mine before becoming full. The tenders were big and juicy. Not dry at all. But lacked flavor other than just the SPICINESS... read more

Deliciously scrumptious selections to indulge the taste buds, while the atmosphere is illuminating with lots of colorful energy!!! Situated in a fun, up and coming, hip neighborhood with lots of new shops. Food selections are perfectly minimal, yet quantity is more than enough. Chicken, milkshakes, sides, and beer what more does one want for a fast casual delectable meal. Having a goal to eat all on my plate, I was totally stuffed for the rest of the day. Spices, heat levels and juicy meat were a rollercoaster of excite... read more

Wow! So excited to have this place on Mass Ave! My roommate and I went the grand opening and we loved it! The line moved quickly and the food was hot and fresh! I had had their tenders before at another location so I knew Medium was the heat level for me. It's spicy but not fire spicy or unbearable. I really enjoy that their menu only has 3 entree options. It's simple and it's good. I will be back frequently. I love the pickles and bread included as well. My roommate loved putting the honey on her tenders too!
