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.

Great experience all around! Place was very clean, service was great. Ordered Dave's hot bites with fries. Pieces of chicken were large, well seasoned, and fried to perfection. Chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. Was served with decent crinkle cut fries with a little seasoning on them, fried just right! Also came with Dave's sauce that is very similar to most places "comeback" sauce, was very good. Came on top of piece of white bread and some really delicous thick cut pickles! I had spice l... read more

I ordered the New Dave's bites; it comes with fries, pickle slices , and a slice of white bread along with a side of Dave's sauce for $9.99. The beeper went off pretty quickly that the food was ready. Fries have a tasty seasoning sprinkled on. The pickle slices are crunchy and slightly sour. My big nuggets were good but the small ones are overcooked. Justin was great at the register and recommended the orange slusher-delicious! There was a steady flow of customers in the drive thru and restaurant. The restaurant and bathro... read more

Fries are really good. Crispy and hot. Just right amount of seasoning. Slider is basically a tender in one bun. Chicken was tasty, the mild was not very spicy. The 3 stars are pretty much because the tables were dirty and I think they should have window shades. As the sun is going down it is going to be blasting sun in there. The chairs are not comfortable at all. Seemed pretty pricy, $32.00 for two #3s and two small sodas. I think next time we would get the 2 slider meal.

Food is always amazing at this location, never too dry and never too wet, the sauce is out of this world and with the chicken is the perfect combo. was greeted with a happy smile from the cashier at the front counter and ordering was easy, great service. the lobby is covered in a super cool graffiti look but not ghetto graffiti, just a cool look with some light different colored lights but you can see great with the lights above. food comes super quick! 

Business response:

LOL We're glad you think that we dont have "ghetto graffiti" and that you loved our food! We hope that you come back again soon!
