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

My partner has been waiting on this since the start of the summer. Today we made it! For the day after grand opening, we waited about 20-30 minutes before being served. Pretty good! The food itself was fine. It didn't blow my mind nor disappoint. The hot apparently isn't that hot. If you're looking for a burn, go higher on the scale.

Okay, first time at a new place for the soft open. So here's the good, bad and the ugly. Good - Plenty of friendly employees who are genuinely trying to provide a great first impression. The space is attractive and fun. It feels like you're at a theme park restaurant with colorful artwork and spacious architecture. The chicken was cooked nicely but there was nothing special about it. More on that later. Bad - Given the complex cultural and social rules of various ethnic and religious communities, employees shouldn't be tou... read more

I personally didn't like it but I've never had Dave's Chicken. We got the Medium and Hot now if the chicken suppose to taste like Chili Powder then they hit the mark. The chicken was fresh but all we tasted was hot chili powder. It was so disappointing considering this was my first time trying it. The fries was the best part of the meal sadly. There's no other flavor in the chicken. We spent 60 plus dollars and it wasn't worth it.

This is my 3rd visit and it sure has gone downhill. My second visit I got the wrong spice level and this time my wife ordered mild. I ordered medium and turn to be the same spice level. My son wanted a milkshake but they've already broke down the machine. I arrived at 9:00 and it was already tore apart. The card machine prompted a tip option from the get go when I don't even get table service. Upon exiting the building the exit door was locked and the patio was blocked by a table. Cashier kept itching through his pocket and ... read more
