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 was very surprised with the quality of food here. I assumed it would be just another fast food chicken strip, but it exceeded my expectations greatly! My only complaint is that the spice levels seem to be a bit exaggerated. I got the hot and it wasn't hot at all. Staff were very friendly so that's a big plus! I'll be back!
Business response:
Jason: Glad we exceeded your expectations, Jason! We hear you on the spice level—next time, maybe give extra hot a try! Appreciate the kind words about our team, and we hope to see you back soon!
Great Service. Fast. Excellent chicken cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Business response:
Thanks, Max! We're thrilled you loved the crispy yet tender perfection of our chicken. Your kind words mean a lot—hope to see you again soon!

Pretty good chicken, interesting atmosphere. Had the Top Loaded Fries Fries piled high with cheese sauce, pickles, kale slaw and topped with 6 Dave's Bites (medium) and drizzle of Dave's sauce, (had mine without the slaw and pickles, still good). The chicken was tender, the spice I'll get hotter than mild next time. The fries were good, could be better without the season salt added, since the chicken already has a seasoning on it, but still tasty. I also had the orange cream slushie (drinkable "dreamsicle ice cream"), delic... read more

Delicious...but. Dear Dave and friends , Please use THIGHS. They are the preferred choice for ALL Professional Chefs and the reason is they have better flavor and texture. Hard to overcook. Thoroughly Delicious!!
