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.

Tried this place for the first time and it isn't worth all the hype tbh. Chicken isn't juicy but isn't dry. Was overly seasoned too. Was it good? Yes it was good, however, I can think of other fried chicken places I'd rather keep going to. So definitely a three star kind of place. Come if you're hungry but I don't think a 2 piece tenders and fries (drink not included) isn't worth the price it is. The service was okay and I really liked the decorations around the restaurant. It had a very modern vibe to it. Dave's sauce is a... read more

So the food... AMAZING. I love coming here to eat. The food is also a good portion for just one person. The chicken is SEASONED and the fries are amazing. I don't usually like to eat fries, but I can come and eat the fries here any day and anytime. This place probably has my favorite seating area in Columbia Heights... the place is huge and it looks beautiful. The service is also very good. They are so attentive and nice. I can see that they also really like working there.

Hey friends! I went to the Zoo Lights at the National Zoo and found this place nearby on Yelp. This place offers chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches, shakes and more! I ordered the Dave's No. 4 meal($9.99). I enjoyed the sandwich! Only distaste was that the bun wasn't toasted. I enjoyed the special sauce that comes on the side. It's a mix of a sweet and savory sauce. I love pickles, it came with many pickles. You can choose your spice level, I chose medium. Not too hot, not too mild. Fries were cooked well. The interior ... read more

I love the chicken tenders here and the Dave's sauce is amazing. The menu items are limited but everything they make, they make it well. The restaurant is always clean and the staff is incredibly welcoming. Even though it's a fast casual restaurant, the manager checked on me several times this evening to see if I needed anything and made me feel appreciated to be there. A great addition to my neighborhood.

Fries: Actually seasoned! It is rare you get a fast food (or any place really) that actually seasons their fries. Win for me. Sliders: I got 2 sliders, a "hot" and "extra hot". Good flavors and juicy tenders. I enjoyed the kale slaw and the sauce works well. I have a very high spice tolerance so both of the sliders were not very spicy to me. They are hotter then your normal "spicy" offering at other similar places so if you think a jalapeño is spicy, be ready. I am excited to try the Reaper heat next time and I hope it l... read more
