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.

They were so friendly and the food was delicious. I walked in and was greeted by 3 different employees who had no idea that anyone else had greeted me. I ordered online, someone quickly grabbed my order. While that person was getting my food, someone else asked if I had been helped. This all happened in under 2 minutes in the restaurant. I was skeptical that the 2 chicken finger and fry meal would be enough but the fingers are huge. I can handle heat pretty well- the hot was perfect but the extra hot was great too.

This new location is now open as of today and I think it might be my favorite lol I love the decor and the set up of this location. Dave's always has edgy and upbeat art and vibes and this location has a lot of it! Everyone is super nice and very helpful and all of your good favorites are here. I indulged in the loaded fries and the chicken bites of course. I also had a slushy from them for the first time and next time I'll pair it with their ice cream! Just remember that this location does have parking that is a littl... read more
