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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and op... read more

Delicous chicken sliders. Their chicken is seasoned perfectly. Their shakes are amazing as well. 

Business response:

Appreciate you, Mansur! Perfectly seasoned chicken and an amazing shake to wash it down—can’t go wrong with that. Hope to see you again soon!

Had it for takeout. Pretty good. Not fire. But good. Especially for the cost of chicken nowadays lol most of the flavor is in the sauce. 

Business response:

Fair enough, Jimmy! Glad you enjoyed it overall—definitely feeling you on the cost of chicken these days. Appreciate you stopping by!

My 9 year old son begged to try Dave's Hot chicken after seeing it on TikTok. We both were pretty hungry and shared the large loaded fries and still couldn't finish it. Would have never thought pickles would go so well on fries. 

Business response:

Love that your son convinced you to give us a shot! Our loaded fries are no joke—sounds like you both made a solid attempt. And yes, pickles on fries are definitely underrated! Hope to see you two again soon.

This was really good. The only reason I gave it four stars & not five is because I would prefer the spices be less of a dry powder and more of a wet or sticky sauce. However, that's just a personal preference. Great flavor though. 

Business response:

Appreciate the honest feedback, Dave! We get that everyone has their own style when it comes to spice, but glad the flavor still hit. Thanks for stopping by!

I finally was in this part of town and stopped by. I ordered the #4, which was one medium heat chicken slider and fries. The chicken was ok. It was cooked perfectly, but I don't know if I'd call it "juicy and flavorful." I was hoping for a bit of a spiced aftertaste, but I didn't get it, which was surprising. The fries were excellent, but with a place that advertises chicken, the fries shouldn't be better than the chicken. The employee who took my order was really friendly and helpful. She was really patient about answering ... read more

Business response:

Appreciate you giving us a shot! Sounds like the fries were the MVP for you, but we wish the chicken had packed more of the flavor and spice you were expecting. If you ever decide to give us another go, maybe a different heat level will bring that kick you're looking for.

The food here is really good and the Mac and cheese is the best item on the menu and it just tastes so good. The chicken is also very good. 

Business response:

Love hearing that! The mac & cheese is definitely a fan favorite. Glad you enjoyed the chicken too!

Employees are beyond rude/lazy. Ordered online and came in to pick it up to find absolutely no one at the front counter. I stood there for 5 mins waiting for someone to hand me my food all the while receiving awkward stares and nobody even acknowledging me or telling me to wait. i eventually gave up and grabbed my own food behind the counter and behold they forgot the sauce you have to pay extra for. Its one thing to be busy (even tho the store was completely empty) its another to completely ignore people. If i hadn't alread... read more

Business response:

That’s definitely not the experience we want for our guests. We appreciate the feedback and will be sure to address this with the team.

When I opened my box I noticed my chicken had an odd shape to it... The sandwich was decent 

Business response:

Not sure what was up with that odd-shaped chicken, but glad the sandwich still hit the spot!
