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.

I pissed my pants while waiting in line. Workers were super nice, the manager let me use his pants and he gave me the meal for free!
Absolutely amazing. For a fast food place, this is as good as it gets for fried chicken that brings heat. The fries were well seasoned, crispy, and paired nicely with the Dave's Sauce. The hot spice level brought a good amount of heat that didn't overpower the flavor. Very crispy, juicy and fresh from the fryer. The pickles on the side also were a nice addition to the chicken. Super crowded, luckily was able to find a seat as someone was just leaving but the wait time is relatively low even on a busy evening.
THISSS!!! This place surprised me. I've heard of this place before, but never been. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken sandwich was just a tender in a bun, but it melted in your mouth and had unbelievable flavor. I got both mild and lite mild. The lite mild to me did not have any mild flavor to me. The guy at the front register was super friendly, sweet, and patient. The inside is super cute, but small so limited seating. I will definitely be back.
A personal favorite of mine. Dave's hot chicken. My item of choice. Combo 2, which is the 2 slider meal with fries. I do go with the hot level for chicken. There are 2 more levels above hot ( extra hot and atomic/reaper). This last visit was pretty good. Food was on point. It was quite busy when we went, but the food was prepared fairly quickly. They do have a reward program to accrue points, which can later be redeemed for menu items etc.
Overall: This is a small store that mostly caters to people carrying out. They basically only serve a few permutations of fried chicken tenders with different levels of spicy sauce. The meals are well executed and are probably a step above many of the other fast food chicken places nearby. The portions are pretty huge and always fresh. Its a good place to grab lunch. Food: 4 Service: 4 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Food: Food is very good - probably closer to a 4.5, but doesn't quite push it over the top. I ordered the 2 sl... read more
A little shop, but the food is VERY good! The kale slaw is perfectly seasoned. The cheese fries come in a large portion and was served hot with crispy fries and lots of cheese. Perfect snack!
it's not bad but when you first get it your more focusing on the powder they drench the chicken in than the chicken itself, I quite like the sauce they gave me with the number 1 and 2 and the present once you first open it is magnificent . The vanilla milkshake is top 1 for me right now.
The food was very good, would give a 4/5 for food alone. Unfortunately, the service just wasn't great, the person at the register didn't acknowledge me waiting to order for a little while and was just a little curt with me. Also, several of the tables were dirty even though it looked like they'd been empty for awhile, just wasn't the best atmosphere.
Crowded as it can be if you go after work like I did. You may it difficult to find a spot to wait if you're picking up an order but the staff is nice and on point. I got no spice items and came here after some complaints to corporate about the nonexistent delivery experience I had when my sister suggested I try it. Going here finally gave me a chance to try the food for myself. If you want an idea of Southern cuisine and like chicken, this is for you. The fries have a kick but aren't overwhelming with spices.
