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.

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!
My first time I got the xtra hot tender& the hot chicken sandwich combo I loved it. It made me curious about the REAPER!!!!! I went back and got a REAPER TENDER & XTRA HOT Chicken sandwich. The REAPER chicken is SOOooo SPICY they make you sign a waiver & you have to be 18+ if you wanna order it!
Great time atmosphere and employees assisted me in every way I needed I lost my kids and wife

This is the real deal if you are looking for some really delicious hot chicken. Having eaten the real Nashville hot chicken hundreds of times, I was pretty skeptical about trying a chain outside of Nashville. While the service was very average, and the cleanliness of the restaurant could be greatly improved on, the chicken was delicious. For those that are familiar with Nashville, hot chicken, if you want the equivalent of a medium, get the hot here. Essentially, just order one level up from what you normally would order... read more

Appreciate the honest review, Nikhil! Love that the chicken won you over, even with your Nashville experience. Noted on the service and cleanliness—we’ll keep working on that. Thanks for the recommendation, and we’ll be ready for you next time!
This has become my new go-to chicken spot because I love the seasoning on their chicken! I've tried a couple of the hot flavors but I like the mild one the best. The fries are okay but it's really the chicken and the sauce that keep me coming back. The pickles are a nice touch too. I also like the idea that when I order online, the food is ready when I get there. I've never had to wait.
Business response:
Love being your go-to spot, Geraldine! Mild with the sauce and pickles is a solid combo. Glad our online ordering keeps things smooth for you—see you next time!
Amazing manager great staff he is very nice and he is also very respectful and kind I give him a thumbs up for that. The food is great and I love it so much I would come here again and again. The ambience is clean and great to do when you visit New York City 125.
Business response:
Big thumbs up to you too, Michael! Happy you enjoyed the food, the vibe, and our manager’s kindness. Come back anytime—you’re always welcome!
Yum yum yum! I tried the spicy chicken sandwich (medium heat) and it was so tasty and flavorful- just the right amount of kick, savory, crunchy, and saltiness added by the pickle and chicken seasoning. I would definitely return and get another sandwich. The Harlem location is clean and staff is friendly and attentive. It was my first time at Dave's Chicken and the gentleman behind the register didn't seem annoyed when explaining the different sauces available and the different type of heat you can add to your chicken. I went... read more
I stopped by one early afternoon and it was empty which meant no long wait time which I like because I was on a time crunch. I loooooved the spicy chicken sandwichThe chicken is huge and you can adjust the spice flavor I got medium. The slaw on the Sandwich is a perfect balance to the spicy chicken. I also tried the cauliflower bites and those were also very good. The fries I liked but I wish they were crispier and the Mac and cheese was good but the star of the show was the chicken sandwich.

Hey there, big thanks for the stellar five-star review! You're awesome! We're so glad you enjoyed yourself. Your kind words put a smile on our faces!
Okay so this spot has only been open for about 2 months at this point and they've done an excellent job. The decor is an edgy spray painted mural with a Harlem twist which keeps it in the ethos of old school. Harlem. Every time I've gone in or passed it, it is impeccably clean. The countertops are stainless steel adding to that very sleek feeling when you enter. The menu is very simple. You can either get fingers or sliders. There are a number of heat levels from no spice to extremely hot. Full disclosure, I have a sensitivi... read more
