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.

Your TV ads are so disgusting with slop all over the faces of the actors it would make me sick to eat any of the food you offer.

I came here and had the tenders Everything tasted frozen to me and if the flavor was there I'd consider coming back but it just tastes like any other spot.

A Masterclass in Time Travel... Backwards So this was maybe the fourth time I've tried to tango with Dave's Hot Chicken in Oceanside, and let me tell you, each time I walk in, I feel like I'm entering a black hole where time slows to a dead crawl and logic no longer applies. Einstein himself couldn't figure out the wormhole of nonsense that is their "food's ready" notification system. They've got this cute little app that's supposed to tell you when your food is ready.

The amount of waste is off-putting. A two piece meal with fries included 3 packets of honey, several ketchup packets and 2 sauce packets all in a heavy plastic bag to travel 30 feet from the counter. Putting that aside, order-taker Jared was attentive and cheerful.

Not my favorite chicken joint at all. The chicken itself was good but if you want any spice get the hot. Fries were dry and had no seasoning and the coleslaw tasted bland. Won't be returning
