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.

Food was really good, place was cool and inviting. The staff was amazing and polite. It's in a convenient location and I all around really enjoyed the place, so I would definitely recommend to all of my friends.

Simple menu, clean inside, plenty of seating and parking next to Mimi's Cafe. The extra hot was underwhelming so I'll try reaper next time. Ordered the slider with fries but substituted the fries for kale slaw at no additional up charge. The food took awhile but it's consistent each time so we return. I like they serve extra pickles.

Solid fried chicken joint Ordered online. Wait was unfortunately 15min from quoted time Tenders and chicken sandwich were solid Mac n cheese was quite flavorless sadly, but nothing a good squeeze of ketchup couldn't fix! Would have given 4/5 stars but the slow unapologetic service knocked them off a bit. Especially with many nearby chicken joints around that are better

First time trying Dave's and was surprised with how much I enjoyed it. The chicken itself was pretty substantial in size, but also in flavor. We took it to-go and ate at home and the food didn't get soggy and the chicken stayed crispy. The sauce is also delicious, would definitely have it again

Prices were not as reasonable if you RNG a small slider in your combo, great service and ambiance tho!

Pretty good chicken and as flavor is decent. It didn't feel undercooked like Canes usually does. The dry rub coating is very dry, so the special sauce helps it go down. A little pricey for the meal, considering it doesn't come with a drink. Fries were good consistency but way too salty, couldn't finish them (and I ALWAYS finish fries). Also it may have been because it was at 7pm on a Sunday, but it was completely empty and FREEZING, like walk into the Costco cooler freezing. Ended up taking it to go.
