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.

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

Delicious! I got the chicken strips in medium, with slaw instead of fries, and it comes with pickles and regular white bread. The strips was delicious, fresh and juicy! I made a mini sandwich with the tender and slaw, pickles and sauce and holy moly! Very good. The staff was great and friendly and the inside was clean but kinda empty. I wish more people came to visit! Maybe I just walked in during a downtime. Too bad I live too far away. I was only in the DC area because I had came back from a trip. Whenever I'm in the area ... read more
