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.

Not bad! I don't know if this is my favorite chicken sandwich but I feel like I've had better! Staff was very sweet, efficient, and very professional. I thought it was OK. To be honest, it didn't blow me away. I was kind of hoping for more but I think a lot of people like it but I don't know if I would go back maybe with my family for them to try it and to give them a second shot. I ordered the mild, and it was pretty spicy for mild, so be careful. If you can't handle space go for no space or lite mild! Play seems to be doin... read more

Was super curious about trying this place and finally got the chance today. Got their hot slider and the minute you bite into it, you can tell it's freshly fried. That deliciously moist chicken meat that only exists for a few brief moments out of the fryer was evident, as well as the brown sugar + spicy heat in the spice mix. The bun, pickles and simple slaw (Not too vinegary) compliment the whole thing pretty well, and overall, it's a damn good slider! Takes a little bit to come out but that's to be expected

This is my first time trying hot chicken and it won't be my last! I loved it! The spices on the chicken was a dry rub. And the sauce complimented the chicken very well. The combo can easily feed two people. I love how thin and crispy the batter is. The fries are crispy crinkle cut and good too. The menu is limited to just tender and/or slider. They should definitely expand it! The girl working behind the register is very nice. Seating area is very full but people come and go often.
Rather nice hot chicken. Finally got to try this place after hearing about the fanfare. Friendly staff, maybe a 10 minute wait all said and done, but it was worth it. I got the two tender sandwich combo, one extra hot, and one reaper. I thought both were well sauced and very flavorful. The reaper caused my head to very slightly sweat, but it really wasn't that hot overall. For those who compare to the BWW sauce scale, it was less hot than their Blazin IMHO. Even CluckU's 911 sauce caused me more sweat. Funny that they... read more
This spot is great. The slider has the perfect combination of bun, coleslaw, pickles and spice. Don't forget to get Dave's orange dipping sauce
Very very busy, but very very good. The chicken is incredibly flavorful and filling. When I went, I ordered a slider and a chicken tender thinking that the chicken tender would be a good appetizer and the slider would be the main attraction. All of it was delicious, and I ended up giving the slider to my boyfriend because the tender was such a good portion size. The fries are /heavily/ seasoned, so if you're trying to cut down on salt... maybe hold back on the them. But they are delicious!
Wow. Finally, Dave's hot chicken is in town! I can't tell u how excited I am. N Dave's hot chicken does not disappoint! Juicy, crunchy n spicy. This is the best combo of a great fried chicken sandwich it can be. Price is also legit. There are only 4 choices but would be great if more options can be offered. Nevertheless, I recommend this place!!!
This was very hyped up in the Halal community. But for us, it was just an average Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich joint. I've had my fair share of these type of sandwiches and the best ones to me are located in the South. One day I'll finally go to Nashville and actually have a real comparison! We went on a week day, in the middle of the day. So it wasn't busy at all (opposed to the long lines I have seen on social media on the weekends). Matter fact,, we were like the 5th customer during that time frame. The service w... read more

I've heard of the chain for a while now, so I was glad to hear one would open in NYC. It is close to the Columbus Cirlce/Central Park South area which is pretty centrally located in midtown Manhattan...so its convenient fo many. I got there around 2 pm on a weekday and the place was fairly empty, though over time i saw lots of delivery order pickups come in during the 30 minutes I was there. There are about 6 tables with chairs in the space itself. The space was great with some cool decor (lots of wall art). I ended up g... read more
