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.

Juicy flavorful chicken and worth the price! The medium has a nice spicy dry rub and yet produces a moist chicken. 

Business response:

Love that you enjoyed the medium spice—it’s got that perfect kick! Thanks for giving us a try!

Talk about an explosion of flavour! I had the two piece tenders, medium heat. Perfect amount of spice for me. The chicken was juicy, hot, fresh cooked and delicious! The fries were hot and crispy. So yum! I definitely recommend this restaurant.

If you like fried chicken and hot sauce, this place is legit. It was so good. I will say the heat level is crazy. I had the "hot" level and it was plenty spicy for me. I enjoy habanero salsa so I was surprised. It might be a mix of seasoning spicy and heat from chillies (?). Not sure and definitely not an expert. But it was juicy and fresh to order which is a big win.

Our whole family LOVEs Dave's hot chicken! The food is bomb, the environment is chill (indoor and outdoor seating, clean, lots of light, cool graffiti everywhere) and awesome service. They take care of their military service members and we appreciate them! Always a perfect lunch when out and shopping. It's always a win to find a place that the kids enjoy too!

Well hot damn, I'm a fan! The first bite was a rush of paprika explosion followed by tangy sweetness with a tad of spice. The French fries were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. I loved how my Togo box was neatly packed with making it easy to not make a mess eating from the car. The slider came with a side of delicious pickle slices and an extra side of sauce. This was my first time to ever try this place and I will for sure be back to try more. They had a wide range of spice level to ch... read more
