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.

This was the new restaurant of the week even though I have been to another location. This space is a duplex restaurant with one on each side of the building and I think the north side has been 3 different restaurants in about 4 years or so and this is probably the best one because for fast food it's fresh made with good quality ingredients. I will say that compared to the east side location it wasn't fresh from the fryer hot to me placing the order but not in any way cold but rather just warm. The decor is hard core urban ... read more

Food itself was pretty good although they forgot the cheese on my tender and fries which I paid for. The shake had a very weird texture and had grains in it although the flavor itself was good.

To one's opinion isn't always the one that we can agree on. The menu isn't customer friendly to everyone in my opinion since I really like the grilled type of sandwiches. Customer service was okay for this type of restaurant but the employees could be more friendly overall.

I went in this past week and ordered for my family. It was just under $80. My order was wrong. I asked for a manager and a woman named Morgan came from the back. She was very defensive as she approached. She was not wearing a hairnet even though her hair went down almost to her butt. Because I had a hair in another one of my meals, she had them remake my order. Morgan had a snippy tone about the entire ordeal. I was simply looking to get the food I paid for. I will not be returning. Employees lead by example, if a manger is ... read more

I went here thinking it was mad chicken then realized it was Dave's and I've never had it so I was going to give it a chance. I got the double sliders medium heat. The fries weren't too bad but the breading on the chicken I hated I wouldn't recommend it the service and everything else was good.

I love DHC, but this location seems to keep up with everything else on this side of town. It's frustrating for every single time you order and just hope to have it correct. Three out of three times ordering from the Tosa DHC has been incorrect but this time it blew me away. Literally The order was wrong; as in everything was soo spicy that I and my S.O. barely could eat it. I ordered the regular hot and pretty sure we both ended up with the reaper. The first bite was numbing it was so spicy! I know it's named Dave's HOT Ch... read more
