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.

If the rubber chicken face sign doesn't already provide a clue, this place has a vibe! Staff was welcoming to my sister and I and, when we said we wanted to try the reaper, the manager just smiled and gave us an extra hot sample bite.... This was super tasty and had a boatload of flavor! After seeing we could handle that, out came the waiver sheet. Something daunting about reading through that sheet! Anyhoo, we did try a reaper bite and... WOW ... this bite is not for the meek! Proceed with caution, but we'd do it again!
Food was very flavorful, I got the mild seasoning and it was the best choice for me. The staff was so kind as to let me try a sample of chicken nuggets to ensure the flavoring was right for me. The sauce was better than their competitor, but the bread was not as good. Overall, I'd lean toward their competitor, but I would definitely enjoy returning to this chain. Staff was excellent, the store was small but immaculately clean, and the 2 single-stall gender neutral bathrooms were very accessible and spacious which I appreci... read more

**Alyssa H.** Love hearing that our flavors and service stood out for you! Glad the team helped you find the right spice level—mild is a solid choice. We hear you on the bread, and we appreciate the thoughtful feedback. Hope to see you back again soon!
The food is pretty good. After frequenting Dave's in the USA. It's exactly as expected. Not a fan of cashless payment. Not much seating. The tables could be cleaned a little more frequently but with only one person out front it may be difficult.
Very good food, The service there was amazing, food came out in less than 5 minutes, very nice ambiance inside the restaurant, lots of art and natural lighting
One of the best chicken experiences I've had. Highly recommended for any chicken enthusiast! Don't sleep on the fries either.
Business response:
Thanks a bunch! Your positive vibes have got us all motivated to keep up the good work!
Had the 2 Sliders with fries (the #2). I ordered Hot and... yup it was plenty Hot. Really good chicken in the sliders and a nice touch of pickles with coleslaw. Fries were seasoned and came with a side of chipotle. Overall, really good but a little pricey ( over $20)

Was in the area, so decided to take Drake on his offer and grab me a FREE slider!!! Dare I say that this place is better than Chick-fil-a? The last coupla visits to CFA, I realised that 1) the level of customer service just doesn't match up to the American locations AND 2) it's salty AF. Like almost to the point of being inedible. Dave's Hot Chicken? Good salt level. Bun is nice and soft, comes with pickles, and slaw. Tried the mild and hot...which was actually HOT. My only complaint, not sure if it was because it wa... read more

My favourite chicken spot in California and now it's here! Crispy, spicy and juicy sandwich topped with creamy slaw, perfection! Highly recommend a little drizzle of honey! We will be regulars!
