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

Went to check out this place, line wasn't too bad for lunch on a weekday (15-20 minute wait) ordered a slider and nugget combo in medium heat, loved it! Would definitely come back again
They didn't have shakes. Paying $14 for two chicken tenders (decent sized, juicy) is crazy even with pandemic prices. There's only two items on the menu, tenders and sliders, which makes it easier to order. Just know your spice level. Mine is medium
1000000% will be coming back fantastic service great environment friendly staff the chicken was immaculate crispy as well as juicy the pickles had the perfect crunch to them all around fantastic place
Our group came on grand opening day and we loved it. Staff super friendly and very cheerful. We got goodies for coming on grand opening. I got the hot spice level. Definitely more spicier than I expected but it was good. I added cheese on everything. Everything came out fast and fresh for how busy they were. Cant wait to come back!
I've been to several Dave's Hot Chicken spots and this one lived up to my memories. The thing I forgot though is just how much food you get! I did combo 3, which is a slider and a tender with fries. I did the slider with the hot spice level and the tender with the medium spice level. Love the level of spice from both of these. Hot is hot while not being too overpowering, they have 2 hotter flavors for that, and the medium lets you enjoy that phenomenal Nashville hot taste without packing too much heat. The crinkle cut fri... read more
Pros: Food was pretty good, the chicken tastes very juicy and the spice blend is nice. One of the managers claimed this is the "best chicken I'll ever eat". I've been to Nashville enough times to know that's not the case :) The staff is super friendly however and I was warned in advance about the heat levels. I've tried both hot and medium. There wasn't much difference but the hot is bearable. I'll probably try one level higher next time. Cons: The wait time is very long and they don't have online ordering. I'm sure this... read more
I decided to try this new hot chicken place last weekend. Of course, the waiting line is long (~30 min wait time to make an order) and the staff was informed about the menu in advance. There was cool artwork around the store and food was prepared around 10-15 mins to come out! I had mine hot and they were perfect, it was really good. Mac and cheese were so creamy. Overall, the staff was friendly, the place was really clean and the food was amazing. Highly recommend this place and I will definitely visit here again.
10/10 highly recommend. They've nailed the flavor on the chicken. I got the #3 with a slider, a tender, fries and a generous amount of pickles AND the sauce was delicious! If there is a line, it's worth the wait!
Food was amazing. Staff was nice. Definitely will be going on the reg.If there's a line it's worth the wait.
