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.

***WARNING*** 'Dave's Hot Chicken' is NOT joking. This HURTS. First your mouth, then your stomach, then ....elsewhere (hint: ). I also don't even know how the outside of my mouth hurt in places I don't think the chicken even touched. But let me tell you, it's DELICIOUS. 10/10 will be eating here again. HOWEVER, NEVER will I ever do "Reaper" again. It is APTLY named, I kind of want to die, and maybe would rather die than do this again! I want to reiterate though, DELICIOUS. Service is super fast here also and the p... read more

Thank you for the hilarious and thorough review! We’re thrilled you loved the flavor, even if the “Reaper” spice level left quite an impression! We’re glad you appreciated the quick service and vibe too. Looking forward to seeing you again—maybe with a spice level that’s a little kinder on the taste buds next time!

Stopped in for lunch for our first visit and enjoyed it for the most part. We walked in about 5 minutes after they opened and it seemed like they were quite ready, so our food took a little bit of time but we weren't in a rush. We both went with the #2 combo which was 2 sliders and fries. It didn't include a drink which seemed odd but an easy way for them to get more money. The sliders weren't that small for having 2 in the order but we still finished it all. I wasn't super excited about a Kale Slaw being on the slider but ... read more

Was expecting some heavenly experience. It was tasty but nothing special. Crazy ordering system. Takes forever don't know how they keep up when it's super busy.

I usually don't eat spicy food, but the spices in the chicken and fries are so good! I have gone twice this week because I have been craving the sliders and chicken strips along with the macaroni! It has been so good and it's been difficult to finish the whole meal because portions are big

SO GOOD! Cannot recommend this place enough. The Mac and Cheese was so good, would go back for just this alone. The pickles were crunchy and so good. The sauce was such a nice compliment to the hot chicken, which was juicy and delicious. The staff were nice enough, but it did take quite a while to get our food. Probably more of a statement to how busy they were than the staff themselves.
