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.

A quick-service tasty chicken spot that is a great lunch stop if you are in the area. Love the various levels of spice they have on all their chicken options. Tenders are thick and full almost 1/2 breasts if you like that type of tender. 

Business response:

Appreciate the shoutout! We love giving guests plenty of spice options, and it sounds like you found what works for you. Hope to see you for another quick and tasty lunch soon!

A delicious hot chicken sandwich. I'd add some hot honey on top. Tasty fries and I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake. I like that it's extremely convenient right off 22. Plenty of parking. Place is always busy probably order online or over the phone so you don't have to wait for long. I think this is one of my top 5 chicken sandwiches. I like the hip hop graffiti decor they have in the restaurant. Plenty of seating just gets crowded when the lines are long.

The food was delicious. Left me nice and full. Service was a bit slow, but the food was ready in less than 15 minutes. Great location to place this fast food restaurant.

My experience with Dave's was ok. The ladies taking orders all kinda had attitudes like they didn't wanna be there. The food is made to order so it was fresh and templates ordered the extra hot and it was really hot. The only thing was is that it was hot and not much flavor. I love spicy food but please add more flavor to it. I also ordered the the nuggets with no spice. I found that without the sauce added, not much flavor either.
