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 food is always so fresh, delicious and ready in no longer than 5 minutes. The warm welcoming lady made me feel at home. The spray painting sculptures on their walls make me happy, also the fact that it's actual spray paint.

We always go here, and the food is great. Everything is fresh and the service is amazing. The place is clean and Rivermark is one of my favorite places to go because it has so many restaurants to choose from. Dave's Hot chicken tastes really good and I give this a five star because everything about this place is excellent.

To start off, we always go here and the food has been great. The service has been impeccable and the staff is always welcoming. The sliders are always made fresh, tasting amazing. The reason why i wont give this a five star is because when you order on the app, sometimes your special requests won't go through to the staff. This isn't a huge issue but a concern for some. Another issue I had was when ordering the top loaded shakes they mostly try to give you mostly toppings and 1/4 of the cup shake. Overall I'll give this a 4 ... read more

Food was good, chicken tasted freshly made. Got the loaded fries and that was tasty. Friends got some sliders and fries and enjoyed it as well. Place was clean and food didn't take too long to be ready which was nice.

Love the rivermark location, always nice people and clean. My only issue is the spice levels seem to have quite a bit of variation depending on the day. Lite spice was super lite and barely anything when it had more spice last time. I enjoy their spiced fries quite a bit!

Wow! I was really impressed. The chicken is extremely moist and flavorful. Extra hot was just the right level -- enough of kick without being ridiculously hot. Fries were crisp and tasty. A side of mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. Service was quick with only a short wait to receive my meal. Plenty of space available in the dining room and everything was clean.

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.
