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.

This place is amazing. It takes a little time at the drive through but worth the wait. My only issue is I wish they had a heat level between extra hot and reaper. Always order extra Dave's sauce

I really liked Dave's flavor of the chicken. It was very tasty with the Hot spice. They have plenty of spices that progressively get hotter and hotter. All the way up to Reaper! I thought the Hot had a decent kick, I couldn't imagine the hottest of them all. They service was fast and very accommodating to questions about the menu and different combinations. Very kind and helpful people working at this restaurant. Most importantly, I loved the vibe and atmosphere of the painted walls and graffiti style art. I bow to the ... read more

So yeah this place is legit!! Service done right, friendly staff not just one person but multiple employees saying welcome and one asked me how I'm doing. Which was a nice change of pace where you know. You go thru a drive thru and say thank you and the employee of said establishment doesn't even acknowledge. Anyways, so not the point right?! The Food was Banging I asked Jessica what she recommend trying 1st. # 3 with cheese and fries crispy. You can thank me later! Also, you can choose the temperature you want for the hot... read more

The sauce here is better than canes! Reasonable price and they give you a tone of food I love places like this! The environment and art on the walls is perfect. Mild wasn't spiced at all so if you want spice go a few up. Tastes like normal chicken no heat at all but still tastes great with the sauce

So I ordered this sandwich for lunch. I got a hot Dave's chicken with fries. Let me say it was different and I mean that in a great way. Don't try to compare with others. Go In with a clear mind because Dave's flavor is very unique and the spice is right. Next I want to try the hottest flavor they have. Love the pickles too. They stack them up for you. The fries had the perfect crisp crunch to them as well. It was quick and the delivery was great. Going into next time to check this spot out in person.
