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.

First time here as I was just visiting in town. Food was fast to come out and staff was very friendly. I got a slider and tender combo both hot. Was kinda heavy on paprika but still oddly sweet. Not my favorite, but I think I'd like it a lot more if got a more mild flavor or even spicier depending on what seasonings they use. The chicken itself was very moist and well made. I'd definitely come by again if in the area.
The chicken was good, although thicker than I usually like. There were a lot of spice levels so easy to dial in to your taste. I liked the slider better than the plain strip. Staff was really nice (shoutout to Linda). Maybe not the best chicken in the bay, but would eat here again
terrible experience - food was mid as expected based off the customer service. we came on Drake’s birthday and the cashier rudely told part of our group that we weren’t selected for the free sliders and took the promo off, when the people before and after us clearly “were selected.” would be fine but the portion size was poor as well - would recommend a different chicken place instead. save your money
The chicken tastes different now; it has a stringy cartridge something that is disconcerting. Also, If I pay 5 bucks for a Kale Slaw, I would like the container not to be half full. The best thing was the lemonade even though it was not freshly made like Chick Filet.
Stopped in for a quick bite and let me tell you what wonderful food and service. We were greeted by the manager and the owner happened to be there. Wonderful people at Dave’s hot chicken!!!
