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 the medium heat two sliders with fries box, strawberry shake and Mac n cheese. The food tasted good but honestly wasn't anything special. The chicken was heavily seasoned and they were sloppy with the Dave's sauce on my sliders. Also the sliders were not your typical slider, they were full size chicken sandwiches. The max n cheese was edible but so so. The pickles on the sliders and the shake were delicious though. Thé place was clean though with a good vibe inside. Unfortunately this is just another chicken s... read more
It was good- chicken was moist and tender. I wasn't sure what to expect but I wasn't disappointed. Mac and cheese was not recommended so I didn't try it but the tenders were on hit.
Delicious and devouring chicken be careful with the heat level though it could get real hot
Great flavor, amazing crunch, delicious sauce. I love Hot boys and this actually surpasses it because you can add cheese which is a GREAT move. You must try!
My husband and I came here to get a quick dinner. We ordered #3 (tender + slider) and added a single slider. Since we have different spice level preferences, we asked the staff taking our order whether we can specify different spice levels for each piece and she confirmed that we could. Although both our receipt and the labels on the boxes were correct, the food itself was mixed up. My slider was lite mild, even though I wanted mild. My husband's tender was mild, even though he wanted lite mild. Doesn't sound like much of a ... read more
This place is pretty good! But let me tell you, it is hot! Nice addition to San Leandro! I will Be back.
It's different, that's for sure! The chicken has a very heavy rub, almost overwhelming but tasty and hot. A lot of people love it . I liked it, we all liked it but there are a lot of other chicken options that I prefer. The pickles were a nice touch and the bread was good. Lots of side options but you don't get a drink with your combo? Personally, I like my drink included, please. My 2 piece combo at 12.49 would have been great if you include the drink. Add 3 extra dollars for cup, some cubes, and some ounces of beverage.
Passed by here earlier this week (Monday) and it was a little slow. Decided to try it last night (Friday) and it was much busier. Staff and Service: - This definitely is more of a fast-food restaurant. Order at the register, get a number on a receipt, and they'll call you up by your number - The cashier was not rude, but she kept telling me what to do so fast that it made the experience feel rushed and confusing when it shouldn't have been (I.e. when I was going to swipe my card, she quickly told me in an ordering tone to ... read more
Love Dave's! Been eating it since I was living in LA and glad to see it in the Bay Area now, especially so close to home. One of the best hot chicken places I've been to
