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 really enjoyed the chicken. I ordered an extra hot and a reaper slider. I realize everyone has a different spice threshold but I didn't think the reaper slider was worthy of having to sign a waiver. I'll definitely be returning though.

Very tender chicken and a good size piece for the slider. I only needed one for lunch. The slider is also served with slaw and pickle. I ordered the double sliders to share that comes with crinkly fries. For $14, this is a great deal. In my opinion, there was too much cumin. It was a bit overpowering. I did order the the mild. I can't do spicy anymore, so I can't speak for the rest of the spice levels. The staff was very nice and the order came out fast. The decor of the space is really modern and spacious.

Best chicken sandwich/tenders (whole breast meat) customized to your heat level, you'll find. Service a bit slow, but you can order ahead. Must try the dipping sauce. Chicken with or without a roll are your choices, except for a few sides.

Can't spell heart without heat! Glad you loved us and thanks for the review!

Updated 4/13/23: It's pretty obvious Julie C's job has nothing to do with actually relaying comments back to Dave's, just insisting everyone make the same effort - AGAIN - by leaving comments on their website. Note that reviews with a similar number of stars receive similar, sometimes almost identical, feedback from her. Guess she's too busy cutting and pasting to actually take the time to relay Yelper's comments directly to the business. Back to my initial review... Let's be real here... you came here for the chicken, an... read more
