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.

Place was clean bright chicken was fresh and crispy could've had a bit more salt but very good, to bad onion rings weren't an option. Would go go back again

Ordered the "Extra Hot" meal with a slider and a tender, plus fries and a drink. A bit on the pricy side, but good - although my girlfriend ended up with a two tender meal but made "Mild." Also I appreciated the sauce and pickles - a nice touch. Service was quick and the restaurant was clean, with several employees coming out to clean while we enjoyed our meal. The dining room is a bit small, but there is a drive-thru and the place is open late, so I would take it home next time. I took my leftovers home and it didn't make ... read more

We waited a few weeks for the craziness to slow down before finally trying the new Dave's on the Pike. We dined in, and the interior is very cool but small. We got there right at noon on a Saturday and grabbed the last open table. The chicken is fantastic -- super crunchy, and huge pieces! Loved the slaw on the slider. Hubby got the hot level and it made his eyes water, which he was happy about! Fries are excellent. I wouldn't recommend the mac and cheese -- it was watery and bland. We will definitely be back! One negative ... read more

I had Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time this past summer while in Vegas, so I was excited to see it in PA while traveling through Harrisburg area. I pulled in during what was a little slow spell. I ordered right away and waited about 3-4 minutes for my food to be ready. Space was very clean and seemed to be very new. As I sat there eating the restaurant filled up pretty quickly. I opted for a mild spice level as I had a long drive ahead and felt it may be the best choice. I wish I had ordered hot however. The chicken cam... read more

I had no intention on coming here today but as I was driving by, I saw there was no crowd and I took a gamble and stopped in. Debating my life choices in the car while perusing their online menu and ordering system, and BOOM! I created an account and placed my order online using Apple Pay. So easy to make and pay for bad decisions! Knock off one star for lame Mac n Cheese. Otherwise, one very tasty and hot (spicy) chicken slider that made me sweat (in a good way). Kale Slaw was very good. Interior and the decorations are ... read more

I wasn't expecting much cause it's fast food, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food came out fast. The order was correct. The portions were bigger than I expected. The slider was the size of a full size sandwich. About the same size as a Chic-Fil-a sandwich. I got the Hot and my wife got the extra hot. The heat was about as much as I could handle, but not too hot. They give you a good amount of sliced pickles and the fries were seasoned well. My only complaint is drinks are not included with the combo meal. You have to ... read more

I have been looking forward to trying this new restaurant on my way South. I love spicy chicken and this did not disappoint!! The staff was amazingly helpful, the tables and bathroom were super clean and the wait was well worth it. I will be stopping on my way back North next month!

Really good I would recommend extra hot or reaper for extreme spice lovers. The service is really good employees are very nice. Even though the place is busy it's nice if you can stand all the talking
