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! I really enjoyed it a lot and would come back. I think the spice was the best

Never been here before... I am not a fan of KFC at all, won't eat it. I LOVE Popeyes chickens spice. I really enjoyed the chicken at Dave's hot chicken. I got the mild/medium heat. I would have gone spicier had I known the heat of the medium spice chicken. I like spicy but not burn the other end spicy... the fries and Dave's sauce was great! Loved the pickles! No kids menu!!

Do yourself a favor and just go to Chick Fil A . The crunchy chicken sandwich was mediocre and lacked flavor (a pale comparison to CFA's deluxe crispy chicken) in addition the Mac n cheese was a huge disappointment (again compared with CFA's divine Mac n cheese). The crinkle fries however were quite good and the fry sauce was to die for but I wouldn't choose this over chick fil a or Red Robin ever.

Food was delicious. Was very busy, but food came out quickly and tasted very fresh. I was worried about the spiciness, so I ordered hot. Next time I will go very hot. I love spicy food, my husband thought it was spicy though.

Delicious!!! I was worried about the "kale" slaw because I am not a fan of KALE.....but it was great!! Will definitely go back. I was worried about the spice/heat so I ordered the "light mild" and it was perfect for my taste, just a hint of spice. The sliders are huge, the bun is really small so you get wayyy more chicken than bun, which I liked a lot too!!! Very friendly staff and I will be going back!
