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

Thanks for joining us on opening day, Stan! Glad you braved the heat with the #1—hope to see you again for another flavor adventure!
I've heard of this place on TikTok and there sadly wasn't one in Rochester then I saw that they were opening one in Rochester so obviously I had to come and check it out and let me tell you best food I've had in a while and the place was super clean and cool on the inside staff was really nice as well would definitely come again!
Finally got to check out the new Dave's Hot Chicken location in Henrietta. We ordered Dave's #1- 2 Tenders w/fries meal with medium hotness. We also got a side of honey to add to the tenders. The tenders were super crispy and flavorful. They were a little too spicy for me- but I'll get the mild tenders next time. We went through the drive- thru- service was fast. The meals were $13/each. Not too pricey. I will def be back. Next time you're in the area- def check em out!
Business response:
Appreciate you checking out the new spot, Tiffanie! Medium can definitely bring the heat, but Mild should be a better fit next time. Solid move adding honey—hope to see you back soon!
Come here all the time and always get great food and the staff is always nice and greet you with a smile. Highly recommend

I went here with my kids for lunch today and the food was delicious. The customer service is excellent! I interacted with a few staff members and everyone was very friendly and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend.
Business response:
Happy to hear you and the kids had a great time! Thanks for the kind words—hope you’ll visit us again soon!
Good food, you better like seasoning down to the fries! The sauce is so tasty and if you don't really like spicy, go medium not mild or anything over lol
Business response:
Appreciate the tip for the spice newbies! Glad you enjoyed the sliders and sauce—hope you’ll be back for more!
Pretty good chicken, cool wall art, and pretty good service. I got to try a bit of the mild spicy chicken, kale slaw, Mac and cheese, fries, HI-C orange slush and of course Dave's sauce. The chicken was delicious and very tender, by far the star of the show. The fries were very salty, and not at all spicy like I hoped. Mac and cheese with Dave's sauce was pretty good!
Business response:
Thanks for the detailed review! Glad you loved the chicken and Dave’s sauce—appreciate your note on the fries too. Hope to see you back for another round!
So my friend and I decided to try this place out and we really enjoyed our time here, the chicken was well done, and the fries where sweet and delicious, their sauce was also really good. The servers were really sweet and welcoming, and the ambience was very fun and colorful would definitely come back!

Went to go try the popular Dave's Hot Chicken to see what's it all about. Highly recommend to order online to avoid the long line in there. There online completion speed is quick fast for a place that is so busy. Quick tip, if you order online. Don't wait in the line, just walk around and go straight to the pick up area next to the cash register. Your order name will show up on the TV and would let you know when it's ready. I ordered, the tender and slider combo with fries. The chicken itself is not bad. It's not dry, but it... read more
