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.

First time here and the customer service was top tier. We rolled through pretty late so it was pretty empty but they were on it and even offered some extras. Very kind and warm. The food itself was some of the best chicken I've ever had. Definitely recommend.

They have the recipe right and love how crispy the breading is yet chicken is juicy. Fries were good too but did have a decent amount of season on them. Quantity is good and plenty and so is the price. If you don't get hung up on price you will enjoy your Memphis hot chicken. Many levels of spice to choose from.

Got the loaded fries, mild. Most delicious tender chicken I've EVER had. YUMMMMMMMM I also told the manager that we came from somewhere else that was supposed to be open and they decided they closed their kitchen early and he said what kind of business is open till 9 o'clock on a Friday? I said well actually it's 8:30 since they wouldn't take our order and he agreed and said that that was crappy and I said well ended up here and I'm glad I did because the food was delicious. The service was impeccable and I will be bac... read more

People are complaining about the price... If you want quality chicken you're going to pay for it these days, if you want garbage injected chicken go to Wendy's and Chikfila. Dave's hot chicken is so dang good, the wait is longer than usual because they are making it fresh. You want fast cheap go to Wendy's and quit complaining. Some of you people talk about so expensive, you should have thought about who you voted for, this is what you get. Place rocks can't wait to go back.

Clean and modern atmosphere with exceptional service. The chicken tenders were cooked to perfection with a crispy crust and tender chicken. The seasoning was delightful. My son tried the medium spice and loved it.

Should be called daves expensive chicken. The flavor was good but was on the dry side. The number of pickles was good. For the 10$ I'll be going to the competition across the street. It's roughly 1/2 more chicken finger for the same price and always moist. I'll add my own hot oil or dryrub.
