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

Located on the corner of a semi busy shopping center with plenty of parking. The gal taking our order was very nice and the food came out quickly. Dave's chicken is juicy, hot and flavorful. In my opinion a solid 6/10 although it tastes good it's still missing something for me. Perhaps might taste better if they offered ranch or other condiments.

Will definitely return to try a more spicy lev... read more

First time eating at the restaurant. Food was great and had excellent customer service compared to others. The place had a nice vibe to it and shoutout to Juan C, friendly guy and made sure my entire family and I were comfortable, which we were.
