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.

Last time I'll be going to this place. First off the first two times I did go the "dining" room was dirty but brushed it off. I ordered three combos and I ask for ranch. First time doing this even though I had this prior. Person at cash counter tells me they don't have any. I brushed that off. This dude in the back as I'm eating my food starts yelling "this ain't fast food and you tell them it's not fast food restaurants". Dude I hope you're reading this. You got a drive through, you got dirty lobby , dirty restrooms and hai... read more

Dave's what has happened to you? I frequented this place in LA for years and they always had the best chicken. But these new stores popping up in Phoenix are not even close to the Cali branches. The chicken is notably smaller in size and very dry, spices don't match up the heat level, store is an absolute mess, garbage cans overflowing. This was not a one time occurrence either.

Alright. If you read my reviews you'll know I don't like chicken - but I LOVE hot chicken. Crazi hot was the go to spot but they closed down. A friend had tried Dave's and said it was a 10/10. Decided to give it a try. The restaurant is clean - plenty of sitting. I ordered the 1. Dave's hot bot (10 tenders) - half hot half extra hot 2. Order of cheese fries 3. Small chocolate shake 4. Mac and cheese 5. Slaw 6. Regular fries 7. Side of pickles I asked for ranch and they don't have ranch..just "Dave's sauce" so -2... read more

Got food poisoning here tonight!! 40 minutes after eating and getting home my temperature spiked. I am currently in bed with severe chills, body aching, high fever, and having to run to the bathroom every 10 minutes. Was completely fine before the meal.. Also only had about two or three bites. My body must've know something wasn't right with it. Got the new 10 piece nuggets with mild flavor and side of fries. Most likely not practicing safe cooking in the back......

Well my son was looking forward to trying Dave's hot chicken and so we went last night but the service was poor, ( lady was rude) & it was $17.00 something with no drink .it was a small amount of chicken also . The big issue was as soon as my kids got home an hour later they both had stomach pains & diarrhea . Which today they still are having that so i think they got food poising . Thank god i didn't eat it .

Very unimpressed with both the chicken itself, and their use of fake heat for the supposed reaper sauce. It's the only chicken sandwich that my wife said she'd never eat again, and she loves fried chicken sandwiches. She said she'd rather have the one from McD. The coating is very dense, like dried mud, not the crispy/crunchy that you get from Cain's or KFC. She said it felt like a rock in her gut. I had no reaction like that, but definitely didn't like the texture. I tried the supposed "reaper" only to learn that it w... read more

I don't have an above average tolerance of spicy or hot food but this just doesn't cut it for me. I ordered the medium and while it looked physically red hot, it was less than mild. My husband ordered the hot and it was not at all hot. Maybe it was an off day for them? I don't know but you would think even mild would have a little kick to it? The fries were good, I think that was the only thing I liked

It's revealing that the manager's response didn't even give the complaint referral with in a direct link format.
