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.

Food was great Service was slow-waited 45 minutes for tenders The table next to me was a group of 4 boys, 2 of which got their food at the same time, other 2 boys got theirs after the first 2 had already finished, 20 minutes later. Ambiance was good, graffiti was nice. Overall nice, but needs to prepare better for having 50 people in the restaurant at once.

We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!
Tried this for the first time for dinner tonight and it was great! I was thoroughly impressed with both the taste of the food and the amount you get for what you pay. I got the slider and tender meal. The size of the tender was more like a whole chicken breast, and the "slider" was a full sandwich. The chicken on the sandwich was so big that half of it didn't fit on the bun. The chicken was perfectly cooked and I thought the medium was the perfect level of spice. Definitely a kick but I was by no means hurting. The sauce, pi... read more

Thanks for the awesome, detailed review! We are so glad that you loved it and hope that you come back soon!
Great chicken and is really hot!! We got Mild and hot. Mild was very flavorful. Hot was really hot and great tasting. Homemade pickles are a home run. Fries are killer too! Not sure if I would try reaper yet. The one downer was the ice machine was broken and would've helped with the heat.

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!
Glad we finally have a Dave's hot chicken in Buffalo! It's been a long wait but it was worth it. The restaurant was very clean, staff was all very friendly, food came out hot and fresh after just a short wait and met all expectations. I tried the #3 which is a slider, a tender and fries. I got the slider medium (I figured the topping would mellow out if there was too much heat) and the tender mild. It was surprising the tender tasted hotter but it had the perfect amount of kick and the flavor was outstanding. The fries are a... read more

I was able to enjoy Dave's Hot Chicken during their Friends and Family event. The chicken was amazingly juicy. I had medium spice and it had a pleasant kick to it. Sliders were delicious. Seating area was very clean. Very friendly staff, and awesome decor.

Wow, you just made our day! Thanks a bunch for the stellar review. We’re super happy you had such a great time with us!
I went here absolutely excited to try their hot chicken because I love hot stuff! I am good to eat extra hot wings and such but man oh man I don't know if they accidentally put the reaper chicken in my box that said "hot" but it was SO HOT. Painful. I couldn't even finish it after one big bite. This made me so mad since it was $15. French fries were amazing. Very disappointed though. My brother got the mild and it was delicious. But the "hot" chicken had me shaking and chugging milk. AND I LOVE HOT STUFF.... So annoying. M... read more

5/5 for this new place and I can't wait to come back again to try some new flavors! This place just opened so a few things weren't up and running (no ice and no ice cream) but the wonderful staff made up for any broken machines. They were so friendly, they opened the door for us, cleaned up dishes and even asked us how everything was and if we needed things. Super awesome! As far as the food - it was top notch. Dave's sauce is so delicious and be sure to ask for extra because you'll want to put it on everything! The chee... read more

Reading reviews like yours reminds us why we started this business in the first place. We're so grateful for your support
Glad I made it a couple of days after they opened and just prior to noon on a Sunday, so the line was short and the wait was relatively quick; maybe 10-15 minutes tops. The chicken tenders were great and the spicy level on each of the tenders I tried were increasingly hot. I sampled the Lite Mild, Medium, Hot and Extra hot and as much of a spice person as I am, I don't see myself signing a waiver to get the reaper tenders. The chicken was juicy but not questionably cooked which for me is huge, not dry at all. The outside r... read more
