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 JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

VERY, VERY, VERY SLOW! Chicken is great. But if you are in a hurry or on your lunch hour, FORGET IT! At least 30 minutes from ordering to arriving in my hands.

Went here again after having bad experience my first time here. I got their # 3 Combo which includes hot chicken slider, chicken tender and fries and a chocolate shake. They give you a sliding scale choice of how hot you want it. I ordered hot. Slider was good, but still think too much batter on chicken. Tender was huge. Fries are crinkle cut , similar to store bought and average at best. Heat was nice on chicken. Chocolate shake was very good.

I’m sorry to hear your experience fell short of expectations, especially with the chicken and slushie. That doesn’t reflect the quality we aim to serve. Could you reach out to us at dchfeedback.com so we can look into this and make it right? Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—it helps us improve!

This was my second visit to same location. I enjoyed the meal therefore went back for exact meal. The service was superb! The counterperson should be commended on attending to customers without a hiccup. She continued to keep the flow of online pick-up orders going, as well as, walk-ins too! Great customer service - which seems to have taken a back seat with merchants lately. Hooray to Tanta-Nasha C for the ability to do all!!! Union NJ 07083.

Dave's Hot Chicken just opened near my job, so I had to check it out for lunch. I went with the hot nuggets--not realizing they come coated in a dry rub. Heads up: they can be a little dry on their own, so dipping sauce is a must. Heat level was mild for me, but I've heard the top-tier spice is no joke. Fries were golden and crispy, no complaints there. 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to make this right. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc?

The fantastic chicken tenders are always what I come to eat. However, I wanted to try to have the not chicken tenders, which is a cauliflower tender slider (medium spice) prepared the same way and it was amazing. I prefer my french fries without the flavoring so I request that they give me fries without seasoning. The service is spectacular and they really know their products and give suggestions on what to try. The sauce is amazing. And the slider comes with coleslaw, pickle, sauce. You order at the counter or online. ... read more

Really delicious large tenders and fries. Got the mild spice and it was still pretty spicy, but very good. Fries were great, nice and crispy. Quick, friendly service. Cool, colorful, relaxed, modern graffiti style atmosphere. Highly recommend. 

Business response:

Glad you enjoyed the tenders and fries! Sounds like you found the perfect balance of heat. Appreciate the kind words and the recommendation—hope to see you again soon!
