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.

Inside decor is very cool. Trendy, even. Employees very pleasant. Fries were not that good. Please don't serve me 45 minute old fries. Your not fooling anyone. Chicken was decent.

Nice spicy chicken, tasty fries and slaw. It's a great spot to cure the munchies. If it were closer to the house it could be problematic. 

Business response:

Wow! Thanks Tim!

Sometimes drive 20 minutes just to go here. Definitely recommend this place if you like hot chicken and if you can handle some spice. 

Business response:

Now that’s dedication! Love that we’re worth the drive—hope we keep bringing the heat every time you visit.

The food was hot and delicious! I put in my order online and it was ready when I got there. They were busy with a long drive thru line and several people dining in, so I was surprised to see my order was ready when I got there a few minutes early. The employees were helpful and pleasant. It was a great experience! 

Business response:

Love hearing that your order was hot, fresh, and ready right on time! Thanks for rolling with us even when we’re busy—hope to see you again soon!

I recently went vegetarian and that means no more fried chicken (or so I thought) and so when I heard about Dave's "not" chicken slider, I knew I had to try it! It's a breaded cauliflower patty served on a bun with coleslaw and pickles. It did NOT disappoint. The breading was nice and crispy and the cauliflower was so flavorful. It didn't taste the same as chicken- but was a new, just as delicious flavor. I was such a big fan of it. Go Dave's! Wish this was on the permanent menu. Service was great- our cashier Corey was supe... read more

Fast friendly service. Came my lunch break had 20min.. they were pretty busy drive thru took 10-15 mins. Fries were really good perfect crisp with seasoning. Ckn choose ur spice, I did mild-not spicy, both good but ckn coulda been better,assuming how it was cooked not the recipe itself, the seasoning was on point. Everything looked well together and clean exterior was well kept. Chill clean vibes. 

Business response:

Thanks for the great review, Brittini! We’re glad the service was fast and friendly, and that you enjoyed the perfectly seasoned fries and chicken. We appreciate your feedback about the cooking and will work on making sure everything hits the mark next time. Hope to see you again soon!

So I like chicken. I eat it for most meals and very rarely eat a lot of beef. I say that to say this chicken can be bland and needs to be flavored just right, and Dave's hot chicken has done that. Going to the location we did was a drive but worth it. I live out in Queen Creek area and we drove specifically for this place. You get there it looks like an old restaurant that was converted to make this work. To me that means nothing but I just want to use that as context for people looking for it. The restaurant is very clean a... read more

Business response:

Thanks for the thorough review, Josh! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the huge, juicy tenders, the “slider” (which definitely packs a punch), and the milkshakes to cool off the heat! It’s great to hear the service was helpful and friendly, and we’re glad you appreciated the fast prep. We hope to see you again soon, even if it means a bit of a drive—it’s awesome to know we’re a good change from Chick-fil-A!

Placed an online order and it was ready when we arrived. Hot and spicy as always. Big tenders that are delicious. The spice is tempered on the sliders with the bun, slaw, and pickled so go HOT. A little pricey for fast food but solid. 

Business response:

Thanks, Danielle! We’re glad your online order was ready and you enjoyed the hot, spicy tenders and sliders. We agree, the HOT spice with the bun and slaw is a winning combo! Appreciate your feedback on pricing, and we hope to see you back again soon!
