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 went opening weekend, but it was incredibly quick service. Waited maybe 4 minutes for two meals (#2 and #4) and a shake. My boyfriend got hot and said it was good, but not as hot as hangry joes. I got medium and it wasn't spicy at all. I wasn't a big fan of the flavor. We both thought the sandwiches were good, but not great. His rating: 4 stars My rating: 3 stars
Stopped by on their grand opening and it wasn't too long of a wait. Waited about 30 mins standing in line to getting my food. Got the Dave's #3 (1 tender medium and 1 slider hot w/ fries) and Dave's #4 (1 slider medium w/ fries). The hot was not spicy at all so maybe I'll try the extra hot or reaper next time. Staff was friendly and they gave out some free tattoos and pins.

Went today for their grand opening! I was super surprised because I wasn't even aware that it was today, I just saw it open as I drove by. I'm super happy to have a dave's hot chicken closer to my area now. There was also a person greeting everyone at the front with goodies like pins and stickers! I got the #2 - came with 2 sliders and fries. I also ordered a milkshake with oreo topping (it's literally only on top and costs an additional $2). The food came out fairly quickly with there being a large line of people. The youn... read more

you'd think after waiting for 20 minutes with hardly anyone there you'd at least get what you ordered. but no. it wasn't even hot. the fries were greasy and stale. this place is hardly a step above starving to death.
There a just better places around and the chicken was very dry. The spice is the seasoning so if you go with not spicy it won't taste like anything
The food was great the manager made me feel very uncomfortable over my friend putting some of his soda in my water cup
The food Is great but the music for lack of a better word is freaking, blasting loud. You literally have to yell your order to the person 3 feet away and I mean literally literally not figuratively. Then you can't hear the person behind the counter respond. It s LOUD! I have opened the door and just turned around and went to Roy Rogers next door.
