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.

So I was told to try this place and make a video by my team. "Coach Dave, go to Dave's hot chicken" Place was pretty cool inside. Staff was nice. Now, it cost me 25 bucks for the two slider meal. To much! Fries tasted really good but the sliders. Egh. I would go back if you are paying lol.

The food is good.They have good seasoning, and everything from the chicken to the fries are both packed with flavor. The Mac is a bit more on the watery side and a little underwhelming. Although the mac is basic, it's seasoned well and is satisfying. Drink options seem limited, but perhaps I didn't see them. The mild chicken was somewhat dry but had a good flavor, though it did depend on the side sauce to give it structure. The medium was good and fairly seasoned, though it did need more of a kick as it did lack heat. The fr... read more

First time. Food was delicious. cheese fries were barely cheesy and a little disappointing.

Wow this company is serious about its customer service. They reached out to me to earn a five star experience I had originally gave them four, the fact that they reached out to me, willing to provide some type of incentive to come back and try the food again shows that they are very serious about customer service. I updated my review due to that fact, I do not need to except , anything as far as free food to know that they stand on business when it comes to great service. Great job

This was an odd place. Basically, it was the third version of restaurants that have gone through this exact location. Last was an interesting Korean sandwich shop. It was a guess as to what spiciness that I would like. Got the middle and it was good. Sizes are too small for a good meal but maybe too much to eat 2. Man I should eat less so maybe I should have said sizes are perfect but I wanted more. Not enough people going here as it competes with Chipotle two feet away. Not many people so make sure you visit s... read more

I visited at the recommendation of a local. I needed to get back on my side of town so I opted to use the order online service which was very easy to use. I arrived about 5 minutes later and found that there was plenty of parking. Upon entering my food was ready right away. Service was fast and the staff were very kind. The experience was great. When I got to my food it was fresh and hot. You can tell that the fries were cooked to order. The chicken was just not my favorite. I got the two tenders hot. They were massive a... read more
