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 worker that took our order was super friendly and helpful. The music and indoor art was really neat to look at. The chicken was very seasoned, whether that's a good or bad thing, it depends on your taste buds

I'm not a fried chicken connoisseur by any means, but this chicken is delicious. I had mild and thought the flavor was perfect. At first I was a little taken aback that a restaurant in Indiana didn't offer ranch, but I didn't miss it! The sauce that comes with it was perfect. Mac and cheese was a little soupy for me, but also not a connoisseur of that either. Slaw was delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy. Hubs likes chicken sandwiches so I'm going to have to drag him here with me one night. Yum!

Dave's hot chicken was different from the other hot chicken places I had tried. Dave's has a dry rub on their chicken it isn't dipped in sauce. They have a large range of heat -- I went with the mild and that was enough for me. It had a nice kick but my mouth wasn't on fire. But if you want the fire go for the extra hot or reaper.

I thought the price was a li... read more

We ordered a mild slider and it was good and loved the fries. We also tried a side of mac and cheese. It wasn't the best I've ever had but still a decent mac and cheese. Service was great! Travis was very helpful and kind. Ambiance is cool love the fun graffiti walls. They have a big dinning area and a nice patio to enjoy your meal inside or outside. Highly recommend checking out this place for a good chicken sandwich if your in the area! Cheers!

My first ever trip was so great!! Rayana greeted me and explained the menu to me, giving me all of the tips and tricks. I felt at home right away because of her hospitality. The food was delicious and the restaurant was very clean. Thank you Rayana and the hot chicken team!
