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 location was clean when I picked up my order. I got the two-sandwich combo with fries--one mild and one medium. However, they tasted almost the same, so I'm not sure if I received two mild sandwiches or if the medium simply isn't that spicy. On the plus side, there's plenty of parking since it's located in Rivermark Plaza.

I felt inadequate dinning at this fine establishment, as there was a lady seated adjacent from me consuming this delicacy with fine plastic ware. Very mindful, very elegant, very demure. Here I was devouring my meal merely with my hands like some sort of baboon. The chicken had a delicate crispy texture in the mouth. However the heavy dusting of spice detracted frothe whole experience. The crinkle cut fries were delightful with a twinge of tang provided by the dave's sauce.

Food is incredible, a great dry rub version of fried chicken. Sliders are enormous and chicken is very tender

Been here several times. Food never disappoints! I love that they honor military service by offering a discount! Like the local art theme on walls.

Dave's hot chicken was really good. I got the two slider combo with fries & bottled drink. It was a good deal & good portion. I ate it before I remembered to take a picture.

I tried the Dave's Not Chicken (cauliflower) and it was amazing. Prepare to wait as everything seems to be made to order but it is so worth it. I only ordered medium but I will try spicier next time.

Thanks a million for the incredible five-star review! You're the best! We're over the moon that you had such a fantastic time. Your support keeps us going strong!
