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.

Tastes like FALAFEL! Tried this place today. Parking was tough, but I found a spot. Cashier was friendly, courteous, nice. Placed my order of a slider medium heat level, and a drink. In a bout 4 minutes, they called my number! First impression: the buns were cold and damp! Why do you do this, Dave's? These should be warm and toasted. The breading on the chicken is the dominant aspect, not the chicken. It tasted of cumin and moreover, like a falafel if you've had that. If you've had a falafel sandwich at King Falafel, i... read more

Service was incredible nothing wrong there food came out fast only problem so much coating on the tenders and sliders I had to wipe it off felt like coughing from how dry all the seasoning makes it it's good will have to try it in a few months hopefully the coating and all the other kinks will be worked out then!

First and foremost, this is a new place. Give it a few weeks to work out the kinks. That said, I have tried the one in SLO and the new one in santa maria and the food is great. The big difference is that the SLO location has it down and consistent while SM still has work to do. The building itself is nice, no real complaints but parking in that whole area is a pain. Servers were friendly and they have a solid system going for orders. They did forget the sauce i paid for but small mistake. The fries are crunchy on the outsid... read more

This is the second location that I've been to. It could be because they've just recently opened & they're getting a lot of business but the location in Santa Maria is not nearly as good of customer service as the one in SLO. While the food is good, the wait is awful. I placed an order to dine in & continuously watched people after me get their to go food w/in minutes. Definitely would recommend taking it to go I suppose.. such a big use of plastic tho:/ but you'd get your food much much faster. I will say that the employees ... read more

I tried to wait a few weeks- but once I heard this branch makes cauliflower items, I was in! It took me a minute to decide on a 6 bite med spice cauliflower bites & a single tender hot spice. I took it to go- the cauliflower was crispy perfection. Maybe even a bit overdone, but perfect spice- great with sauce/pickle! My tender was perfect- spicy, crunchy and my mouth is still scortched the crew was nice and the place was humming. Negative? Everything in my bag was covered in smudged red handprints- my containers were r... read more
