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.

Seems pretty straightforward-just get chicken tenders and French fries. I love the krinkle cut style fries, dip with sauces and a nice, refreshing drink! I give three stars because they basically serve trash. Nothing at all is reusable, and when you leave the restaurant there's a bunch of DAVES trash and napkins all over the ground outside littering the streets and makes neighboring businesses suffer and looks trashy. Dave's Hot Chicken trash blows into open business doors surrounding and I personally just think it's patheti... read more

Great food but they need to stop serving foam plates they are toxic and the food melts on it when it's hot.

Service was fine and ambiance was fine. Even your expect from your local fast food chain, but just didn't enjoy the food. Spicy chicken wasn't crispy of even spicy for that matter

Staff was friendly. Ordered the sandwich and a tender. Delicious. The chicken was perfectly spiced, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

So happy to finally have a good spicy chicken sandwich in South OC. This pace has a terrific vibe for fast casual. Cool signs, nice counter staff and good food. I have been here a few times and my go to is the meal with a tender and a sandwich. So filling and delicious. I really like that you can choose your level of heat. The medium is strong enough to get some heat but not so strong that you lose the flavor. I also love the fries. The sauce then pulls it all together. I will be back. 

Business response:

Wow, you just made our day with your awesome review! Thanks a ton for spreading the good vibes – we can't wait to have you back!
