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

Waited a few weeks ti try this place out to let the hype die down and not having to wait awhile to order and get our food. Chicken is seasoned well and the prices are fair for what you get. I will say there is a big jump in spice level from medium to hot- perhaps it was just the piece we got. Mild is good- but no spice on it for those who might think it's southern fried chicken mild spice. :)

Okay, WOW. This is really phenomenal chicken. The tenders are HUGE and juicy and spiced with paprika as well as hot pepper. The heat and flavor were incredible. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly and fast. It took less than 10 minutes to get our order.

I love this place! I've been about 3 times and each time I try something different and I love it! Yes, the lines can be a little long...but the staff moves fast. The atmosphere is nice...just hard to find a seat sometimes! But that comes with a busy restaurant!

Had to stop by Dave's Hot Chicken while visiting from out of town and it was a good snack! We got the #3 meal which came with one tender, one slider and fries and also the strawberry lemonade slushy. The one meal plus the drink was over $18 which I think is a bit too expensive considering the amount of food you get. The chicken was very tasty and fried well. We got lite mild and it had great flavor! The slider was our favorite and the slaw paired well with it. The fries were delicious! Skip the slushy - it's mostly ice and a... read more
