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.

Food took a bit to come out. Got the combo in mild with sando and tender. Chicken was hot and fresh. Fries were crisp, but barely warm. Missing the honey the other location gives out. Was not busy at all inside, or drive thru. Had many workers working, but all dirty tables. Finally an employee came to wipe tables at end of her shift. Bathroom needed some cleaning too. All in all food was good, but staff could have been more attentive.

Here's what I loved. The pickles, the sauce, the fries, and the slaws all better than Canes. The chicken was good but I would rather have Canes. Also the sad little thin piece of white bread is kind of pitiful. Seems like an afterthought. The Mac and cheese was pretty good. The medium heat was on the hotter side of what I would expect for medium. The chicken was tender. We ordered on the app and it was ready in 12 min. Customer service was good. The prices are high but so is every where at this point. 4 meals plus 3 Mac and ... read more

We finally tried Dave's and we both got the #2. One of us got extra hot and reaper (a signature is needed for the reaper). The other got medium and hot. Out of all of the 4 flavors we tried the reaper was definitely the hottest. I have a high spice tolerance but I would choose the extra hot it's the perfect spice level without the spiciness being to overbearing which I felt that with the reaper. The chicken overall is juicy and crunchy with their nice crunchy pickles. The drive through service was fast and efficient, we re... read more
