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.

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.

So I stopped there a few weeks ago to see what the fuss was about in terms of their sliders and they were nothing to write home about. The owner and staff were nice but the slider sucked. You can get a Popeye's chicken sandwich for less and it tastes much better....don't waste your hard earned money during this recession of a nightmare we are enduring.

I don't get the hype. The service was terrible. The person behind the counter had our food in her hand and yet tended to the carry out orders before finally calling my number. On top of that, when I arrived home, I noticed half the order was wrong. The chicken was like rubber and fries were over seasoned. Never again!

I was thoroughly disappointed with my time spent at this Dave's Hot Chicken. I drove over an hour to this location since it was the closest one to me while I live elsewhere. Once I arrived they did not have what I wanted, the tender bites, so I got regular tenders instead. When I asked for sauce there was NONE! Not even ranch all they had was cheese. I am outraged with how unorganized this location was and the lack of service there.

Tastes like a deep fried TAKI...not good. The secret sauce is fry sauce. That's what west coast people call it. Mayo and ketchup. Service was very good
