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.

Came here after finishing up a weekend of disc golf at shady oaks. Christian took our order and was gracious host. I got the tender Hot and slider. That chicken was juicy and that flavor, ooo boy I'll tell you it was scrumtrulecent. The graf art on the walls adds to the experience!

This location has never disappointed. As a casual/fast food option it is arguably among the best. Staff is courteous, helpful and the food is amazing. I have completed several post-app-ordered meal surveys, all of which have been very positive. I finally decided to leave an actual review. I look forward to my next order soon! Even have gotten family and friends on board with the Dave's Hot Chicken experience! 

Business response:

You’ve got us all pumped up over here with your kind words! A massive thank you for the 5 stars. Here’s to more great times ahead!

Food was great, Nicholas was very friendly, brought our food out, got us extra sauce and was super helpful to other customers. The lady before us didn't buy any food, but he prepped her a sample of their cauliflower to try since she didn't want meat. I ordered the medium heat as a slider. Meat was juicy, with a nice crispy outside, pickles had the perfect crunch and the bun was so soft. Fries were perfect too. I also loved the sauce!
