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.

Amazing food and even better customer service. Their standard customer service exceeded expectations but I was further grateful to Paul who tended to my 4 year old daughter when she spilled her shake. She was devastated until Dave showed up so quick with a new shake ready for her. She immediately stopped crying thanks to Paul. This made us feel so happy and relieved. This restaurant takes care of families

Dave Bites with Fries 10/10- these were so good! I got the medium spice for the chicken and it was the perfect heat level. Dave's specializes in Nashville hot style chicken and they really know what they're doing! The chicken was incredibly tender and crispy with light breading that was absolutely perfect. The seasoning blend of paprika, garlic, and chili gave it that authentic Nashville hot taste. The chicken is also halal which is awesome. I love Dave's special sauce too - it's similar to sriracha mayo but has its own uniq... read more

This is a fast casual restaurant and quick service with no table service. Order at the counter. Very casual. Friendly staff taking our order who were helpful about the menu items and level of spice. We had the sliders and tenders. Delicious and the rub was just right on the chicken (I selected the medium spice). It comes with a sauce that is not particularly hot. More like a variation of thousand island that's a little more relishy. Kale Slaw is also on the sliders. My only complaint is that I wish the contents of the sl... read more
