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

You have to sign a waiver for their hottest hot. Haha IMO, that's between mild/hot. Good but it's over priced. Ordered a plain tender for my dog and didn't pay attention to what was rung and got charged for a slider or some shit like that. I know it costed more. Haha. The place is nice; it's in San Luis Obispo.

I had the equivalent to jalapeno ( not) and my husband to equivalent to hot Cheetos, dry rub, also not spicy. At least not for us. The first time we tried the hottest one which was grossly hot and not tasty or enjoyable. I'm sure the habanero will be just right. Hot as

Jolene the manager is not helpful at all. I called to explain my order was made incorrectly costing me money and not getting my sides that I ordered and paid for. She expects me to drive back 45 mins out of the area to take my receipt and make my order correctly. I told her I had someone coming from that area and could grab my correct order for me and she said she won't be able to. I also have a photo of my receipt and order and she would not let me show that as proof! She would expect me to drive all the way back to the loc... read more

Uuuugggg! I saw the cauliflower "not" chicken Super Bowl commercial and oh It looked really delicious and similar to the "Hot" chicken. The tinnie tiny mini thin less than a 1/2 inch sliced piece of cauliflower was such a "Big" disappointment "Never" going to go back to "Dave's HotChicken. Look at my slice of "Not" as advertised
