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 was super excited to find out this had opened up in CT, I've heard many people rave about it from other areas. I visited on their 2nd day of being officially opened & grabbed it to go, as it was just too busy for me at that time. The staff did their best to be friendly & provided good service overall. The space is bigger than you'd think & they have a lot of graffiti/artwork all over the walls, looked pretty cool. I went with the 1 slider, 1 tender, & fries meal. I also ordered a side of their Mac & cheese, because I wa... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken finally came to Connecticut so you know had to check them out. My son and I were spending time together so we decided to grab something to eat while we were out. Today was Dave's Hot Chicken grand opening and the parking lot was packed. As we pulled up to the establishment, we saw that line was long but we still went in. We were greeted by the door as soon as we entered and we were given a menu. It was great idea to give out menus while waiting in line because everyone could choose what they wanted befor... read more

Waited 30+ minutes for 2 chicken tenders and fries. Watched countless people walk in after me and get my food before me.

Second time in a row I placed an order via the app and it was not followed. I requested no pickles or cole slaw yet both were on every sandwich. Hopefully this feedback is communicated to staff so they can pay better attention to detail.

Save yourself a trip and SKIP this place. Tried the slider & tender meal and it was terrible. Chicken had no flavor, had a weird stringy texture, fries tasted like they were cooked the day before, did I mention that the chicken had no flavor? Also, not sure how they managed to make chicken tenders that weren't crunchy but they pulled it off. Threw everything in the garbage. What a waste.

The service was great and actually pretty quick. Ordered a MILD two piece tender meal to go. The chicken was sooooo incredibly hot, I couldn't eat it. Please be careful people. This spot was a one and done for me. The fries were tasty, nothing special. Again, the mild is most definitely NOT mild. I hate to see what hot is.

Nothing to get excited about. Food was ok basically a designer version of a McChicken. Frozen drinks is a frozen Kool Aid; crafty? maybe taste and value, no! Service is a little disorganized, maybe because it was a recent opening. Ambiance is similar to a five guys.

The first time I went in there I had to wait 60 minutes to get my food. Several families also waited same amount of time. If your food is going to take 60 minutes to receive, they should tell the customer. I could drive through Popeyes in 3 minutes. Or go to Texas Road House and get fed quicker. Also New Haven Hot Chicken is much better
