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 is a nation-wide favorite of mine. It is a destination, and I hope management realizes it is also to be an experience. Make it a great one.

Came in as a challenge for my daughter. Fair amount of customers, but orders were taken quickly. Wanted her to try the Reaper level, but that required us signing a waiver so we opted for the next level down (extra hot). We ordered two combos and it took 35 mins to get our order. Tenders were of typical fast food expectations, but the level of spice left my daughter's tongue numb for hours, which was funny. Fries were okay. Not a bad place, just didn't hit our taste buds the right way.

Was so excited to try this place and it didn't disappoint! Lobby is big and I ordered online and pickup was ready fast (10 min) Food was good and surprisingly filling. I got the medium and the hot and there was a big difference in heat. Sauce tasted kinda like a honey mustard. Loved all the pickles!

Fun spot with tasty chicken. The portions were generous on every entree option we ordered. My only complaint is that the "heat" levels vary wildy and they are not consistent. Low to Medium is actually a HUGE jump up, so be warned. We also had a service mix-up, so that my young daughter was given chicken strips in level Hot instead of the Mild we ordered. It may be a uncommon mistake, but they were very slow to give us the corrected order. By the time we got our replacement, everyone else at the table was finished eating. The... read more

This has to be one of the best chicken places I have tried in a long time. I tried the mild chicken tenders and the flavor was off the charts amazing. I wish we had one of these in Scottsdale!

Kinda disappointed, I was excited to finally try but wasn't that great. They only have the sauce and it's ok. Spice level I ordered was good, and the staff was really good. Chicken was a little over cooked even burned on the thinner end. But the disappointment was in the flavor. Not much there for the enormous amount of seasoning that covered the chicken. The slaw was sweet, but The best part of the meal was the pickles.

Dave's Hot Chicken only 23 miles from my house (instead of 50, the one in Gilbert)? Hallelujah! I love Dave's Hot Chicken. I think about it often, I crave it, I can taste it in my mind, I can't get enough! They just opened this one about 2 months ago in Phoenix. I decided to drive down there today to get some lunch. I got there, parked, walked in, and nobody was in line. Score! I placed my order for my usual....A #2, Hot, with upgraded cheese fries. Had some water to drink. Paid my money, took a seat, and waited... read more

New favorite place. Canes chicken was the best in the area but now this place takes the #1 spot for us. Always delicious, tender and juicy chicken. Love the size of the meals. Can't understand how someone can base less than a 5 star review because how busy this new location is or their stomach can't handle the heat/spice of the chicken. Good job for the new location and all they have to deal with.
