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.

It was one of better fried chicken places I have been but not the best. Over all it was over fried for my taste. Toasted bread was not toasted it was soft as if was not toasted at all. The chicken was great minus over fried part. Spices were in the point. Music was ok minus echos inside the space. Interior was great but needs sound dampening panels the voices echo a lot. Easy fix. Restrooms clean and brand new restrooms. Lots of parking across from MiMiE's One thing i could not understand. It's a fast food style place ... read more

I got the the #4 combo with a sandwich and fries. For the slider I got the cauliflower slider with spicy level hot. It was pretty good but for my taste it wasn't spicy, I think I could up the spice level next time. The fries had a really yummy seasoning on it too and it was all fresh. The lady at the counter was really nice and helpful and the food was made quickly. The inside is pretty cute too, and they had music playing but not loud and overpowering. Pretty good!

The food was okay it was my first time and not all that how people/ friends made it seem so hype. Service, it was dead and still had to wait while two workers got done with there conversation. It was very clean but it also was very cold . Once was enough for me .

Started going to Dave's in their hay day while they were only located in Hollywood. Suffice to say it was some of the best hot chicken I've ever head. Sometimes food just has a sweet spot of time where it is just mind blowingly good. It may not be that anymore since they have expanded beyond what I ever expected , but it is nonetheless a good sandwich that who'll Hit the spot. 

Business response:

Thanks for being there for us since the beginning Jason, you a real one! We appreciate the love and support, especially from those who have followed us throughout this Journey! <3

The food is good. Not better than Canes. Get the sandwich mild and above for flavor. Without spice it's whatever
