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.

Upon entering, I love the interior of this fast-casual chicken spot with graffiti type art on the walls! The service was also top notch even when they were busy for their preview event. The menu was simple with chicken sliders and tender combos plus sides like fries, cheese fries, slaw, mac and cheese etc. and milkshakes! I love that they have 7 spice levels to choose from and the sauce that comes with it is so good. I also recommend adding their honey on any of the chicken items.

I'll be honest and to the point, I am not of fan. I went at a bit of a busier time, we opted to just order online and pickup but it was still a hassle. The inside is smaller but in the warmer months they do also have outdoor seating. I LOVE spicy food & mostly only eat chicken as far as protein (meat). We got the 1 tender, 1 slider & fries combo, ordered in at the "hot" spice level & it comes w/ Dave sauce. We ordered extra sauce but 1 was more than enough. I will say the spice level was on point as far as it actually ... read more

Tried for the first time last week. We ordered an assortment of sliders, tenders, mac and cheese, kale salad, fries. The fries were ok but the rest was not good. We tried mild, lite mild, and no spice. All were bland. Possibly their chicken needs a decent heat level to have any appeal because at the lower levels the coating tastes terrible, too salty with an unappealing mealy consistency which is not a 'crust.' Honestly, Wendy's makes a far better spicy chicken sandwich. Mac and cheese was deemed terrible as well by ... read more

My order came out incomplete, and no one knew what to do until I ask for my refund, if not fully trained don't open a place until you do.

It is the worst food ever ate! I heard so much about it and wanted so much to try it and once i did i said no more, this is the first and last. My wife did not like it as well. Too much seasoning to the point it lost its flavor. Both of us my wife and I got a meal each and we ended up throwing away one and barely finished one. I ate at the one in Minnesota Plymouth. I strongly do NOT recommend!

First, I was forced to tip at the counter, then came the food. The food looks amazing but what wasn't amazing was the taste. The seasonings were to strong, the sauce was flavorless. I had ordered both the mild and medium expecting "Dave's HOT Chicken" to have hot chicken but there was zero spice. The fry's were completely soggy, while leaving me unsatisfied with again, a flavorless addition to my box of food. With the combination of spending around 15 for a meal and it being completely flavorless and with zero spice, even th... read more

Don't go out of your way, what a disappointment. I did not even finish my small $12 meal. Two thin chicken strips on a piece of bread and served with cold fries. Ambiance fast food restaurant style. Service by staff was probably the best part of the visit as the manager was visible and visiting tables. He saw that my son ordered hot chicken and recommended adding a taste of honey. Also ordered shake don't waste your money. They said they have Oreo but all they did was take a vanilla cup of ice cream and put a scoop of Oreo... read more

Staff seemed nice but for as simple as this food is to make. It takes entirely to long. Even when trying to plan ahead an ordering ahead of time for a single person. You end up waiting WAY TO LONG
