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.

A great pace to get really good defined chicken. I really like ordering their shakes and their lemonade is amazing as well

Yummy has a great smokey flavor. So far the best chicken in town. Frys have a Cajun flavor. Service was friendly. Great choice in music.

Obviously chic fil a is better and your best bet, but as we know it closes on Sunday so if this is what you have, the next best thing is Dave's Hot Chicken. The sandwich bread and the sauce is to die for! The chicken is the right amount of crunch but will eat it is a bit more breaded than a normal one would be. I sound recommend trying if in the area. Get extra Dave's sauce! You will not regret it ;)

The hot chicken is good and the price is fair. It somehow has a little bit of sweetness in the spicy taste. I personally like Hattie B's more, but it is a good place to go if you're craving Nashville hot chicken in Cali.
