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.

Came here with some friends on a Friday night; there was a short line to order, and there was plenty of seating available. I ordered a Mild Dave's #3 with Cheese (1 Tender + 1 Slider + Fries), and it came out pretty quickly. My spice tolerance is iffy, and Mild was just the right amount of kick for me. Unfortunately, the amount of sauce in the slider was a bit lacking, but the overall taste was decent. I'll probably come back here again.

Great service and tasty meal! We ordered a Dave's #2 combo with 2 sliders - one hot and one medium - with fries. The sandwiches were both tasty, with the spice level being spot on. It was hot but not inedible at all, chicken was really juicy and pickles on the side were delicious. Only slight knock was that the sliders come with a long chicken tender vs a patty or cutlet that matched the bun shape, so there were parts of the chicken that extended outside the bun and parts of the bun that had no chicken. Overall enjoyed the m... read more

This was my first time visiting. I went around 9pm on a Wednesday night. The vibe was like a hangout for young adults. The food is actually really good and reasonably priced, but the combo doesn't come with a drink.

I love their shakes, they are so delicious and delightful to have I would love to have another shake in my mouth. they are amazing. especially their vanilla shake and they are sweet and melt right in the mouth.

Best chicken sandwich around and prices are reasonable and they open late. Chicken tenders are a little salty but still really good

The chicken sandwich was really good, being a spicy one or not. the mac n cheese was okay, considering it had too much cheese personally, and was bland. The fries didn't have a lot of seasoning, which was unsurprising as a lot of places don't, but still disappointing. The dave's sauce is sweet which doesn't overtake the taste of the sandwich, and the honey was good. the pickles tasted like your average pickle except kind of sweet ‍ I did rate a 4 though, because I didn't come for fries or mac n cheese, but did for a chicken ... read more
