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.

The medium in the perfect heat, if you go hotter you miss the flavor. I like this a lot better than Angry Chicks

Huge portions is always a plus and this place serves them up. Ordered the 2 tender combo and that was enough for one person. The slider is pretty much a tender in a bun, which is basically a sandwich itself. We had the mild and hot and the spicy level in the hot was 7/10. They have their own dipping sauce which is almost a honey mustard tinge. The one complaint would be that they dont offer ranch but thats not a huge blow to their food or service. Some complain that their wait time has been over 30 minutes but our delivery ... read more

Very busy during lunch time, I suggest calling in the order and picking it up. The sliders are definitely the way to go, get extra sauce with the honey too! You won't be disappointed

Tried the Oceanside Dave's for the first time and actually was impressed by their Chicken portions. I ordered 3 of the Chicken portions and was impressed each came with sauce, bread and pickles even when the sandwiches are a few dollars more. I could only eat 2 before feeling full and I saved one for later. I ordered all of them 'hot' and I liked that spiciness level. I Still like Popeyes a little better but this is still a good option.
