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.

Whenever I travel, I tend to look for their spiciest food. Amongst all the spicy chicken I have had in the US, Nashville Hot Chicken is my favorite, so I am a sucker when it comes to trying a Nashville Hot Chicken influenced dish. I say "influenced" as I have had some terrible versions, especially in my area. The ones I've had in SC are generally pretty good. This time, I decided to try Dave's Hot Chicken while visiting Columbia. They had a range of spice levels, so I went with the Reaper (spiciest) and the Extra Hot. Both p... read more

I wanted to love it (the chicken) but it just wasn't wowing me. The seasoning is visually there and darkens the chicken. I got mild heat as the level and didn't taste heat or seasoning so maybe they're tied in together and that was the issue. The meat is tender on the inside, but again, the seasoning wasn't doing anything special. He fries were nice and crisp, so I was a fan of that. The service was passable but nothing above and beyond. I had to wait for the associate to notice I was standing at the counter to ask for plast... read more

I heard all the hype and tried it. My kid loves it but it wasnt for me. I just liked the fries and the chicken sandwich was not all that. I for sure enjoy a Bojangles spicy chicken sandwich much more. Prob wont return.

They forgot the extra sauce that comes with it and the one in the basket. Sauces is we important lol other than that it's amazing.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a halal chicken spot open late in Columbia. They are normally open to 11pm but the weekends are midnight. They do such an awesome job with each order. They are made to order and offer different heat leaves. The restaurant you can dine in if you wanted to its large and fun. With the pretty graffiti.
