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.

I ordered #1 HOT it was hot but powder hot. As you can see it all over the bread. The chicken was Ok. But would have liked the option of ranch instead of the other sauce. Fries were good. Had some seasoning on it. But really one packet of ketchup is the best you could do. Mac & cheese aka out the box. Very disappointing.

Was stopping by Hmart and saw that there was a Dave's Hot Chicken across the street! We decided to order slider combos and our food came out really fast. The medium spice wasn't too bad, so if you love spicy you should definitely go hotter. The fries were super crispy and airy and I loved the kale cold slaw. It was super refreshing and balanced out the meal perfectly. The mac n cheese was decent, but I probably could have gone without it. The Dave's #4 (1 slider) is perfect if you aren't super hungry but still want something... read more

Chicken chains, in my opinion, are typically hit or miss, but this specific branch was a great experience overall. Fast service, a nice, relaxed atmosphere, and good chicken that may have been a touch dry but great nonetheless. Both the slider and the tender were great. The fries were also above my expectations.

first time trying and it lived up to expectations! food came out fast and service was great. got the #4 with a hot spice level and it was great. chicken was juicy, slaw was crisp, pickles were delicious, and the sauce pulled everything together. fries were crispy, but a little too salty imo. hot wasn't too spicy so i'd recommend going up a level.

The chicken is good here! But keep in mind that this is commercial spicy. If you want it spicy this not it tho.

Fried food for a weekend fun meal! We enjoyed the slider and fries, but the Mac and cheese is just okay. I would visit again in the future.

Stopped in for a quick lunch after my workout and I must say the food is pretty good. I got the Dave's #4 in medium and I think next time I'll make it HOT. The chicken and fries were good. Overall, great place to get some hot fried chicken.
