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 finally tried this place. It's tucked in the corner next to Kokee Tea. It's super bright and colorful inside. Very inviting. For the price, I think it's a great deal. Two sliders and fries comes out to 16.49. We shared this order and thought it was a good deal to have customization on the spice level and extra sauce to try with the fries. It's not overly greasy. The people working here at the time I was were very helpful when I asked about the spice levels. This was my first time so I had a good bit of questions. Sat... read more
The food was absolutely 10/10. I will be back for sure! It was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, and I'm absolutely blown away. The crunch, the spices used were perfection. The Dave's sauce was okay, I would give it a 8/10. It's nothing too special however, it was good. I think it needed citrus to elevate it even further. The service was great! We walked in and the served us right away. The ambience was very creative, loved the graffiti walls and funky atmosphere they had going on. It is a very popular location. F... read more
Fries were crispy and the chicken sandwich was a decent size! I ordered the medium spice but honestly I couldn't tell that it was spicy (sad) however I enjoyed the Dave's sauce paired! Overall a decent place for chicken sandwich meal. Service was friendly + indoor seating.
My son always to try this place and glad we did! The service was fast and friendly. We ordered sliders and tenders and it was delicious! The food was prepared fresh and the portions were generous! I opted for the "hot" spice level and it was perfect. I love spicy food, but it definitely hit the spot. Parking was pentiful as it is shared with the other businesses in the center. Overall, a great experience and my son is already asking to return. Enjoy!
My husband's coworker told him about this place and do we decided to try it since we were in the area. It's inside of a strip mall so parking can get tricky. Upon entering we were not acknowledged. That's usually a red flag for me. I work in the customer service industry and greeting folks sets the tone for any successful business. There wasn't a line and the dining room was busy on a Saturday afternoon. The menu was large and easy to understand. The interior was cute and decorated in graffiti like decor. Very colorful! We d... read more
Hot chicken sandwiches seem to be the new thing. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with this sandwich. The sandwich itself was good with lots of flavor and a good sauce. My hate part comes from the chicken that stuck out from the sandwich. It is so coated with chili powder that it was almost like eating a teaspoon of seasonings with every bite. Once you got to the bread and sauce it was a great sandwich. Service was fast and the art on the walls makes this a unique place. Looking for your dream hot chicken sand... read more
i was going to give 2 but the service was nice so i'll give 3. we were thrown off by the shouting "hi welcome to dave's".. the guy kept shouting that as more and more customers came through the door and it was overwhelming + not pleasant. we were just trying to order and he would cut off his sentences to say welcome i ordered the tenders in mild and replaced the fries for mac and cheese. my partner ordered a sandwich in hot. we both thought it wasn't worth the hype since it tasted like they threw a bunch of seasoning and ... read more
I've been reading about this place on social media due to sponsorships so I decided to give this place a try. I wasn't disappointed at all. I went ahead and ordered the wings with the spiciest sauce called the 'reaper' and one of the cashiers had a wild reaction telling his colleagues that I was ordering that. The taste was similar to the blazing hot wings you would order from buffalo wild wings. Nonetheless the food was very tasty and delicious not to mention the wait time was rather quick and all the cashiers were extremel... read more
During my most recent visit to Northern Virginia, I decided to check out this spot based on the buzz. I ordered two chicken strips with French fries. First of all these aren't really tenders. They're boneless fried chicken breast cooked to perfection. The chicken isn't sitting around under a heat lamp. It's made to order, so you have to wait about 10 minutes, which is not a problem. I was disappointed to discover that the seasoning used for the chicken includes brown sugar. I don't like sugar, so this isn't for me, but to ... read more
