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.

My partner has gotten this for me a few times and while it was alright, I have several other chicken places in the area that I feel are better. The food is overly salted and very greasy in my opinion. Also the prices are pretty high imho. I would skip. 

Business response:

Appreciate you giving us a shot! Sorry the flavors weren’t your thing—hope you find a spot that hits the mark for you.

I'm grateful that we have Nashville hot chicken, and I have eaten Dave's many times throughout the years, even back when they were getting there start in East Hollywood. This location is super clean, the food is always great, and I plan on eating here many times every year. Their staff is always great too!

I will have to admit the chicken was good alot better than I expected. I ordered a chicken slider hot flavor and believe me it was hot. The portion size for the slider was a lot bigger than a regular size slider as traditional with a beef burger. I recommend it and would most likely go there again. 

Business response:

Thanks for the great review, Paul! We're stoked that the chicken exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the hot slider. We hope to see you back again soon for another fiery meal!

The prices are amazing for how lovely and filling this burger alone was. I love that there is many spice levels for both those who are non and lovers to spice. The works were kind and they seemed to be all be friends so it gave a very friendly social environment.
