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.

Jose was extremely nice and hospitable. Super clean location and delicious. We are from Texas and definitely enjoyed our meal!

I think the chicken sandwich was decent. I ordered the hot as my heat level, and it was not as hot as I was expecting it to be. The sauces were good, especially the combination of the honey with the Dave's sauce, but nothing mind-blowing. The food took about 15 minutes, and it was a decent amount for about 10 bucks. The chicken pieces in the sliders are pretty big. It was uncomfortably warm inside the restaurant though, which made sitting down to eat your meal in there not the most pleasant experience.

As a vegetarian I went in to try the cauliflower bites and sandwich. DELICIOUS and exiting flavors. Have been taking my nieces and nephews for the spicy chicken etc and they go crazy so I can say it's very good. Shakes are excellent and fries too. Clean bathroom and nice service.

Friendly staff, clean restaurant, cool artwork, but I felt the tenders were too powdery with the seasoning. I guess I'm more of a sauce gal. Was really excited to try this, but it just wasn't for me. The fries were great though.

Let me first start with the positive. The food is delicious. I had the two sliders with french fries. The pickles are great. Here's the negative. I agree with everybody else. I was there 18 minutes waiting for two sliders at three in the afternoon. It was not even busy seriously it took over 20 minutes to get my food and the only reason I got it was because I asked the manager what was going on. I don't understand why it takes so long wait but if I was in a hurry, would've asked for my money back please getting the food out ... read more

The customer service was amazing and they walked me through the menu. Food was off the charts really good kick on the sandwich, matches well with everything on the slider. Cool atmosphere too better then somewhere like Canes.

I finally found it! The fast food chicken of my dreams. I have been looking for this for a long time. I had high hopes for Canes but it was so bland, no spices at all. I like my chicken with a good spicy bite & Dave's delivers deliciously! The chicken was juicy & flavorful, just the way I want. The french fries are cooked exactly as I like them, tender - not crunchy/overcooked as is so common. The bread was just bread, nothing special but that's not really important to me. Because we, unknowingly, dined at the Costco Dr. loc... read more
