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.

First time here. 10/10 recommend. I got the 10 piece Dave's chicken and fries. Hot and fresh fries. Their spicy BBQ sauce has just the perfect kick to it. And I love that they have a drive through and are open til midnight. Most definitely will be returning!
Food was really really really good. Best I've had locally. The people who worked there were about the friendliest, as nice as can be. It was just loud AF. And I liked the variety of music they play as well. Just the whole place was super noisy, and not super busy. But probably I'm cranky. Dave's is a great place and they just opened in Rocklin. Yay!!
Just had my first Dave's Hot Chicken meal. That was super yum! The chicken in the slider was super juicy with really flavorful spicy coating (ordered medium). I also got a small chocolate shake that was delicious and definitely tasted like it had real ice cream. This will be on my list of foods to crave.
I always like the food (with the exception of the Dave's Bites...) but the extra sauce situation makes me question visiting. The enforcement of paying 25¢ per extra sauce policy is very inconsistent. You're sometimes able to get two for free then pay for more (the best option, in my opinion, since the single sauce cup they give you is way too small for an entire meal), but other times they charge you 25¢ each. If I knew I'd have to pay for extra sauce with every visit there would be no problem, but I've come to expect at lea... read more
Business response:
Thanks for sharing your feedback! Consistency matters, and we get how frustrating the sauce situation can be. We'll make sure the team reviews this policy. Hope you’ll give us another shot!
I have not much to say but the best spicy chicken sandwiches that I've had. The flavor and quality of chicken is on point. I just wish we had one in Elk Grove too!!
The chicken is yum yum. The service is super friendly and quick. The ambiance is fun and clean. My teen boys and their friends love the medium level chicken. The next level of hot is really hot. So be aware of heat tolerances. Yummy slushy drinks too!
Business response:
Love that your crew is digging the heat! We’re all about that spice, but definitely good to know your limits. Hope to see you and the boys back for more!
The chicken is tender and god and the staff is nice but the bread and the sandwich gets most really quick
Business response:
Thanks for your feedback, Vasile! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the chicken and the staff. We’ll take your comments about the bread into account and work to improve the overall experience. Hope to see you again soon!
The food is amazing I love their chicken sandwiches. Service is great I have been here twice and I highly recommend this place.
Business response:
Thanks for the love, Ladena! We're so happy to hear you enjoy the chicken sandwiches and service. We can’t wait to have you back for your next visit!
I typically take a picture of my food if I anticipate leaving a review, but today I did not-could not- because I couldn't wait to devour it! I ordered the number 2 which had 2 sliders and fries. First of all, I'm a self proclaimed fry snob and very picky but these fries were well seasoned and crispy. The bread for the sliders was not soggy and the chicken was well seasoned, hot, and fresh. Love the choices of heat levels and having a drive through is a plus. I downloaded the app and get free stuff as well. And every time I'v... read more
