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

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! 

Business response:

Thanks for the great review! We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed trying different items each time you visit. We appreciate your patience with the lines and are glad to hear the staff keeps things moving fast. Hope to see you again soon—hopefully, with an open seat waiting for you!

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

Everyone I know has been raving about this place, I finally stopped in yesterday to give it a try. It was honestly better than I expected. I've had a lot of fried chicken and this was excellent. I was worried the seasoning would be too salty but it wasn't. Prices are a bit steep; however, the portions are large and we were able to make 2 meals out of it. Only criticism is that the fries should've been a bit crispier. Friendly service as well. Overall, I think it's definitely better than KFC and Popeyes. We will be bac... read more
