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.

I order this through uber eats so I did not receive hot which I didn't expect. To my surprise the food was still good. I order a chicken sandwich- hot and it was spicy than I expected. Still was good. My family enjoyed.

I've been here since 2023, this is my second time coming from a long time. The food is absolutely delicious by all means! The service is actually quite really friendly, the ladies at the front is polite. The ambiance gives me nightclub vibes from the lighting. Though there was a tiny fly around but I think I shooed it away. Either way, I highly recommend it. The variety is good, though the prices may turn some off. Still worth the eat!

When they made me sign a waiver for reaper spice level I should've known it wasn't a game. The sandwiches were a good size and the slaw sauce and pickles were great. It is pricier than the other chicken sandwich shop in town and it gave less fries. The food was ready quickly and the inside was clean had a good amount of patrons. I did like the sauce here more. The bundles with sliders and mini sliders looked appealing for bigger orders. The workers called out the people too cheap to pay for a drink but trying to fill their w... read more

I love chicken and was happy to try Dave's. Ok, let's see why there's a line in the drive through! To be honest, i don't get it except for convenience. Their hot at medium is slightly sweet, nicely prepared and plentiful, but nothing memorable. Fries are tasteless wastes of calories. Service was slow inside, and you sit on metal torture chairs while waiting. Popeye's is many times better and less expensive.

We got the #4 Slider with fries. Order was ready very fast. The slider was a regular sized sandwich, chicken was crispy and flavor was pretty good! We got the mild so wasn't spicy at all. Fries were so so, nothing to rave about. We also got the Mac and cheese which was really good. Reminded me of chick fil a Mac and cheese. My toddler loved it as well!
