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.

I visited this place for the 1st time and I super like it. My friend Claudia brought me to this place and I got a #4 Extra Hot and it was super delicious. Place looks clean and with a fancy art everywhere.

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

This place waaaass so amazing! The service here has been soooo amazing, it's like no other! Alex here went above and beyond to make sure that my experience here was superb!

He came multiple times to check and make sure that the meal was good and how everything was. I haven't been to a place or establishment with this type of service when it comes to a more casua... read more

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.

Very good spicy chicken. Not much else on the menu. They deliver on what they promise. Really good hot chicken. The staff were friendly, the bathrooms were very clean. A good choice if you are craving something spicy.

I got the Dave's #3 with extra hot and extra pickles and it was freshly made to order. I would say that i don't think getting a slider is worth it, just because in comparison of my friends plate who got the Dave's #1, the size of the tenders were really different. I'm assuming sliders are made with smaller tenders, to fit in the bun, which makes sense. But price wise, I think it's more worth it to get tenders instead. Nonetheless, it is good chicken. The service is great, and the store is in the same plaza as a few other pop... read more
