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.

Business response:
Big thanks for the love and the 5 stars! We're all about making sure you have a fantastic experience, and it's awesome to know we hit the mark.
These guys were jamming all day today with the free sandwich. I don't know how they are able to keep their cool with lines. Out the door and around the block but they did. Service with a smile all day. Martin is the best. Runs a smooth crew.

I am fan of their sliders but I am here to review their reaper which I tried for the first time. Well I love spicy food and have eaten super spicy food before, so I thought of giving reaper a try. The lady at the counter was very pleasant ( I forgot to ask her name) and asked me to sign a waiver ( you have to sign weaver for reaper). With my experience the chicken was super spicy due to the fact that the hot pepper they use was dry but if you eat it with lot of their in-house sauce, it is bearable. I would say I would defini... read more

With a name like Dave's Hot Chicken, I don't think it's a mystery what type of food is served here. But what wasn't obvious to a serious hothead, such as myself, was: how truly hot is the chicken here? It is all relative, after all. While some may actually consider McCormick Paprika to be spicy, there are those for whom the One Chip Challenge is just another Dorito. With my daily spicy intake right around the Ghost Pepper level, I am definitely more the latter. So, naturally, I ordered as hot as it comes. In the case of Dav... read more
