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.

I have been wanting to try Dave's hot chicken for years now and I finally decided to go today. Upon arriving, I immediately noticed the super cool art on the walls and the hip vibes the place was giving off. The girl taking my order was really nice and sweet. As I look at the menu I am a little disappointed by the pricing cause it seems to be a bit high. So I order the number 2 with two sliders, and as the food comes out, I NOW KNOW WHY IT IS $14.99 because the portion is huge and as I start to take my first bite, I NOW KNOW... read more

Dave's chicken is going to give Ca-e's finger chicken a run for the money. Delicious, moist, and crispy . Pricey..but you get a lot of food. Wish soda was included.

First time at this location and the food was really good. The pieces seemed a little small compared to when I've gone to the Palm Desert location. Really like their mac and cheese. I won't be back though because the music was so loud I couldn't even hear the associate behind the register. When I asked if they could take the music down just a bit the manager told me "well it's a loud place and I could place my order to go". I took my decibel reader out on my phone app and it read between 77-84 decibels. 80 decibels is t... read more

The food is good and service was acceptable but the music was playing way too loud. I couldn't hear the employee over the loud music when ordering. I hope they turn down that music soon.
