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's a chain restaurant but they deliver a great chicken sandwich. End of discussion. Staff is very friendly and professional. EC Plaza is lucky to have them.
I come every 3 weeks with my little brother when we get haircuts at HD barber studio. It's a time that we bond, but don't say much, over some great food. This place will be a place I remember always.
Dave's Hot Chicken is fire, the chicken in the sliders pop out the bun on both ends. Gotta try it with some honey. Immaculateness
Got hungry after getting my nails done & saw this place! I was intrigued by the smell of fried chicken! Walked in, was offered help deciding & since it was my first time I was curious about the spice levels. I chose the spiciest & was recommended to not I went one down & lord I'm glad the cashier advised me that. It was so spicy I couldn't finish. The fires are krinkle cut goodness & I appreciate the bread to stop the spice! Dill pickle was a nice addition!
I tried Dave's in Vegas and didn't really like it. Since I saw this was opening up, I wanted to give it a try. I really like this location! I do have to say I am more of a fries person than a sandwich person but I equally enjoyed both! Chicken was crispy and juicy, the other contents in the sandwich wasn't overpowering, and the fries were crispy and well seasoned. For the price of just a slider, it is not that bad. The slider itself does get me full! I am also a fan of pickles but the best combo is their pickles dipped i... read more
The best. Love this place. Food is delicious and definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend.
Delicious, bang-for-your-buck food. I ordered online, which was super easy and quick to pick up. The mild spice level does not taste/feel spicy, but it made my nose run; I'm going to try a level higher next time. The piece of chicken on my sandwich was huge and very moist. The fries were a tiny bit soggy (I got takeout), but they were still very good. The chocolate milkshake was just okay, but it was only $5 (for a small), so I can't complain too much.
New spot, in point delish spicy chicken sandwich. Excited to try. Service was on point, ambiance is loud, but it a cool spot. Will coke back
Went recently with the kids to check it out. Food was great, the spice was perfect, and the customer service was very good. We were very well taken care of and will be back soon!
