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.

Soooooo mid !!! We tried the "medium" spice level 2 piece tender/fries combo, which is supposed to be one of their specialties. The tenders are gigantic, which I guess is good in terms of value ($13.99), but leaves a lot of the chicken tasting bland. The spice mix is heavy, like the tenders are doused in chalky spices, but somehow pretty bland. Their medium is more of a mild. The fries were pretty decent, although the seasoning was super spotty (their instagram page is misleading lol). Overall, it wasn't totally inedible... read more

Dave's hot chicken hit the spot even though I ordered take out! The honey packets were a great addition and my sandwich had a large piece of chicken in it. Parking was a little challenging but I came with my sister in law who stayed in the car while I ran in to pick up our order.

Tasty food, simple and efficient online ordering. And I believe a fairly healthy fast food option.

The Hot is bearable and you won't be dying for water (it's Extra Hot or higher that will get ... read more

Went on a spontaneous dinner with the boys, had slider and fries it did not disappoint! It is a yummy ! A huge tender that sticks out of the sandwich, a bit messy but worth it! I had medium spice: solid . The pickles and dressing are on the side. Fries were cool. Service was kind and all the establishment is decorated with with graffiti . I would return!

Pretty decent chicken sandwich, the portion is good for the price. I usually order it online for pick up, I'm not a huge sandwich person but if I ever crave a chicken sandwich I might consider Dave's
