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 nice restaurant replaced Burger Fi, I was a little sad at first but once I tasted their menu, I was slightly okay lol Today's menu was Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries with a Frozen Minute Maid Strawberry Lemonade. The establishment was clean and staff were friendly, the service was very good! The sandwiches were very flavorful, and fries were well seasoned. Their sandwiches come with light cole slaw which was top notch. My experience today was 10/10 I will return again. 

Business response:

Thanks for the awesome review, Jasmine! We’re so glad you gave us a try and enjoyed the flavorful sandwiches, seasoned fries, and top-notch coleslaw. We’re happy to hear you had a 10/10 experience and can’t wait to see you back again soon!

I forgot to take a picture of anything we ordered. So the prices seemed steep for a slider and fries, but it's not a tiny sandwich, it's pretty big. I added cheese to my fries. I believe it was the number 4. My spice level was mild. Plenty of food. Hubs ordered the slider and a tender. He ordered medium spice and said he would go up a notch next time. The food was hot and fresh and the atmosphere was comfortable.

Dave's hot chicken is that gas pack. Service is great, tenders are great, everything in this place is lit.

First time going. I was hoping for more of a Nashville hot chicken but it's a dry rub on a good piece of chicken. Good pickles. I did Hot and my son did med. Hot was the right level. The service was fine but it did seem to take a bit longer than it should have for how busy they were.

I usually don't eat food like this but I had to try it. I'm over a half century old and this has been the best chicken tender and fries I've ever had. There must have been some witchcraft or sorcery involved. Blew my mind.
