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 have come here consistently and am usually pretty happy with the food received. Yesterday, I visited the drive thru around 6:15p and ordered the #4. Food came cooked, fries were not fresh like they usually are though! I would have usually asked for more, but I'd already left. 3.5 stars, pending return and quality then! The customer service though is literally always
Business response:
Appreciate you coming back consistently! Sorry the fries weren’t up to the usual standard this time—hopefully, your next visit brings things back to 5-star territory. Looking forward to it!
Super yummy food! Must've been a short staff day since it took us 50 minutes to get through the drive through :/
Business response:
Glad the food was worth it, but 50 minutes in the drive-thru is definitely longer than we’d like. We appreciate your patience and hope your next visit is much quicker!

I went in and was greeted by Iva who told me I'd just have to wait a few minutes before my food was ready. That was no big deal for me, however Iva went above and beyond and gave me a drink on the house and made the whole experience great. I love ordering from Dave's, the food is always amazing and so is this location, and I will continue doing so!!

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.
Business response:

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 appreciate your feedback on the chicken and bread, and we’ll definitely take that into consideration. It’s great to hear the service and app ordering worked well for you, though we understand the price point can be high.
