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 chicken is good, fresh and well done but I don't think anything stood out enough for me to think of this place for future meals. I do think the portions should be a smidge larger for the price point. The place definitely has a neat look with all the wall art. Service was a decent speed for fresh chicken.

Just tried this place for the first time! The chicken is delicious and juicy but crunchy at the same time! But what made my experience so awesome was Marissa at the front counter. She was so sweet and friendly and totally patient when I couldn't decide what I wanted! 10/10 experience! Will definitely be going back!!

I gotta give some love for the chicken here. The fast food craze taken over by chicken continues to thrive with Dave's Hot Chicken.

The fries were similar too. Dave's gives a piece of white bread with their meals. I "wonder" why? Not for me. Canes had those crazy toasted b... read more
