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.

Was scared at first to try it because it comes with kaleslaw and im not a fan of it but i gave it a try and i was not disappointed. Def recommend it
I always love Dave's Hot Chicken, but this store in particular had some of the best customer service I've received at any location! Very nice touch for a busy travel day for me.
Service was good nice people quick service food was mid not really to my liking and they need to add blue cheese and ranch for sauce but over all good place
Not bad, not great. Worth a try but not something to rave over. I got the chicken sando which was fresh, and seasoned ok. Nice portions but not for me. Service was good.
Thought it was a ramen night, but Kyoto turned off the lights after we parked in front so it was time to try THE late night food spot, Dave's. We went with mild and that was very flavorful. Complex flavors and not a chance of breaking a sweat. What they call a slider is 2-3 times larger than what I think of as a slider. You can see in the pics that the chicken is much larger than the bun. Unexpected ratio but a great one. Chicken was moist, cooked perfectly. Pickles, slaw, all flavors and textures made it clear why this san... read more
