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.

The food is amazing, the fries really good... however the cashier or the person who does the orders forgets a order like I ordered two slushies and he only bring one, so ok service. Clean place but I'm wondering if there's a spice Level in between mid and hot. Like the mid is like a little sp8ce for me, but when I'm trying hot, ot burns.. so I'm seeing if there's a spice in between that. But it good. 

Business response:

Isaac was the best thing about the place and the food was good too. He took the time to walk is through the spice levels and managed to make us feel welcome even while an entire Softball team sat across from us. 

Business response:

Wow! Thanks for sharing Brian!

Customer service is amazing! Shouts out to Jaziel for taking care of me when I ordered the wrong item at the self checkout. He was very patient, very professional, very demure.

I was at Dave's yesterday night with my family and Isaac was on top of everything from Food/Drink knowledge and recommendations, he was asking us constantly if we needed anything or wanted anything else, served us with great formality tried to tip him with a cash tip and said that he wasn't looking for a tip and just wanted us to enjoy out time there.... WOW! This Man needs a raise! Will definitely be coming back for both food and service. Thank you! 

Business response:

Shoutout to Isaac for bringing top-tier service! Love hearing that he made your visit extra special—sounds like he’s truly in it for the guest experience. Appreciate the support, and we’ll be ready for you and your family next time!
