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.

Top tier chicken. Got two sliders combo and it was great and came with a ton of sauce.

the customer service was so sweet the man who took was my was kind and enthusiastic, he made me exited to eat at this spot for the first time and on my way out he made sure everything was okay with my experience. the setting ngl was pretty eerie it was just so big but so empty that it felt like it was missing something but since it used to be a theatre it's alr ig. it just seems to me they should re-design but idk. the 13 dollars for the meal was worth it when i had the first bite. my food did take like 10 minutes though e... read more

For value for money, this place is definitely 5 stars. We stopped here after letting our three children play at magic ground. This place was clean, had extraordinarily friendly staff for fast food/fast casual and the food was delicious for our diverse family which included 2 vegetarians, a baby, a picky eater and some who want spicy and some who do not. We fed our family for 45 dollars and included two orders of no-chicken cauliflower bites, Mac n Cheese, a milk shake that our children split and two orders of chicken tende... read more

I've gone here a few times and been really impressed. The spice mix is great. The chicken is the main even, but I would like to see some better sides.

Dave's Hot Chicken is a fast food restaurant that serves halal fried chicken sandwiches. The chicken is very flavorful and crispy. They have various levels of heat, with a really nice sauce on the side. They also have a plant based variety call "Dave's NOT Chicken" which is basically a fried cauliflower steak, which I really appreciate. Overall the food is delicious. The only thing I didn't care for was the cheesy fries. The cheese wasn't flavorful, and the fries seemed like they were just store bought frozen fries.

Hot, yummy, crispy and so good! I think the food was 10/10. The credit card machine was acting up, it denied my car 2 times but approved another card and same thing happened to my partner. I definitely would eat this again.

I came here with some friends on a Friday evening. There's an area to order and a lot of seating in the back. The staff at the ordering counter was really friendly and helpful! I ordered the #3 and got it mild. I loved the slider - it wasn't spicy, so I think next time I could go up to a medium. My friend ordered the hot and said it was also manageable for her. The chicken was extremely tender. The tender came with bread and pickles. It seemed that most people do takeout, but the seating area was also really nice. I would d... read more
