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.

This place is OK. I guess my love of super spicy chicken has waned over the years. The tenders are nice and big and they're extremely flavorful. The unique thing about this place is the level of super hot dry rub that's applied to the chicken. Well, it's good. It can be on the pricey side and again I'm just not into spicy chicken that much anymore.

Chicken was amazing, fries were not too hard nor too soft. The service was quick and efficient. The lighting and environment was very eye catching. I'd suck it for more chicken. Fries weren't too hard, unlike me after the honey packets. Let me have it Dave's way. Compliments to the chef, if he's in the back, lemme fuck him.

This chicken gets 12/10 super ultra rating. It was juicy and flavorful with just the right amount of heat. The restaurant in Gainesville is on the newly developed side of town and was easy to find. When we arrived we were promptly greeted and there were many patrons waiting for their orders. As we waited more and more people just kept coming to indulge in this bit of goodness. Inside was pleasantly decorated and workers all seemed thrilled to be there. The pickles are a great added touch. Fries were good and sauce tasty. T... read more

Chicken is really good , I had the hot chicken and the wife had no spice. Overall the food was quality but pricy just like everything else. The seating area could be better ,the layout seems a bit wasteful. TO be fair they do have outside seating which makes it feel larger. I would recommend there chicken if your looking for that fix and can afford it.

The service is great, no wait time. The food is very good for the price and is very filling, different levels of heat. there is something for everyone. I am someone who doesn't like the heat and the mild is a perfect heat level. 10/10 would recommend!

I am a person that can eat any type of spicy food but this place is another level, their chicken is so crispy and tastes great. The only negative thing about this place is long waiting line.

Absolutely worth the hype! I recently stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken in Gainesville fl, and it completely lived up to the expectation. The place was clean, had a fun vibe, and the service was fast. The portions are generous too, so you definitely get your money's worth.
