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 got the #3 1 tender + 1 slider with fries combo and really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the "hot" spiciness level and found it to be the perfect amount of heat. The bun, pickles, and Dave's sauce complimented the juicy chicken so well in the slider but the slaw was just meh. The tender was ok...probably would skip it next time and just get the slider. Fries were very well seasoned and tasty. My order was ready at the estimated pickup time and the cashier was very friendly. Tables were clean and the walls are very colorfully ... read more

I've always heard about Dave's Hot Chicken and it's surprising to see one open up in Bay Ridge. I'm not complaining though because at least I don't have to go all the way to downtown Brooklyn or Manhattan for it. I ordered a slider at the mild level because I didn't know what to expect. It was honestly not spicy at all - I would think it's the no spice level if I wasn't aware. My brother ordered the extra hot level and now THAT was spicy for me. My comfort zone is probably around the medium and hot levels. Either way, mild ... read more

Came here afterwork on a weekday, the place wasn't too busy, ordered a #3 (1 tender, 1 slider, with fries, it also comes with coleslaw and pickles) and a side of Mac and cheese. Nice decor with graffitied wall. I ordered my chicken in Hot level spice since it's my first time eating from here, did not know what to expect, and I generally eat things a bit on the spicy side. I was pretty impressed! the chicken was not dry at all, very tender, and flavorful. Also, the hot level spice definitely has a nice kick, and was perfect f... read more

Ordered for pickup via their own app and DoorDash multiple times. Sometimes it was not made at the time I requested for pickup so the bun was soggy by the time I picked up. The hot is not spicy enough, the extra hot is a little too hot but really good anyways, the reaper is no joke, extreme and I had to chug some milk! The chicken is flavorful and juicy while fries are nice and lightly crisp on the outside and potatoey on the inside, just how I love my fries. The service is nice and quick as soon as I get there to within 5 m... read more
