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.

We love Dave's hot chicken! Always so good! Today I could not get the ph# to let me order over the phone so I had to order online and it made it difficult for requests like pickles on the side etc. Fatima was so helpful when I arrived at the store today! She was very sweet! We need more people like her! :)

First time here and I'm honestly so glad that I finally decided to give it a try. Yes, the menu is small but it has everything you need. Alexis helped us out when we came and she really blew me away. I'm super big on customer service and she deserves a raise! It's so rare to see young folks actually care about their jobs and to go above and beyond. Since Alexis knew it was our first time, she came by to check on us which was really meaningful. The food is amazing! 

Business response:

You’ve got us all pumped up over here with your kind words! A massive thank you for the 5 stars. Here’s to more great times ahead!

Food was good. Service was lacking. I got tenders and they were delicious and spicy. The girl at the counter had to help pack up in the back and my boxes were covered in sauce 

Business response:

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us! If you have an extra minute, would you mind connecting with us at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc ? We would love a chance to hopefully impress you and earn that last star.
