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

Great chicken. Very busy, the staff handled themselves quite well, especially on a Friday night. Tried the Carolina Reaper tender, it's not for the weak. It is not to be taken lightly.
Business response:
Respect for taking on the Reaper—it’s definitely not for the faint of heart! Glad you enjoyed the chicken and that the team handled the rush well. Hope to see you back for another challenge soon!
My husband has eaten at a Dave's Hot Chicken in California but this was my first time. They were having some technical difficulties so the wait was long. That being said the staff gave updates and were extremely kind and professional. I have the slider in medium and it was great! The kale slaw and pickles made it perfect! Their fries were hot, well seasoned and fresh. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will be back!
Business response:
Love hearing that the team kept things professional even with the technical issues! Medium is a solid choice, and we’re glad the slaw, pickles, and fries brought it all together. Looking forward to your next visit!
Really tasty chicken. Very simple menu which helps the line move pretty quick Don't be a punk. Get the reaper.
Business response:
Solid advice—Reaper is for the bold! Glad you enjoyed the chicken and the quick-moving line. Hope to see you back for more soon!
I gave in! Dave's Hot Chicken!! I got extra hot and hot There wasn't much of a flavor to the chicken it just tasted hot (I'd rate 7/10) Once I put the sauce and honey like the employee suggested, it tasted better; increasing it to an 8/10. My husband got lite mild and mild. He said the lite mild didn't have that much flavor but with the sauce it was good giving them a 7.5/10. I suggest you get the sandwich and not just the tenders because they aren't that flavorful. The sauce, slaw, and pickles help increase the flavor. Frie... read more
Business response:
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Sounds like the sauce and honey combo was the move. We hear you on the wait—things do tend to mellow out after the hype dies down. Shoutout to you and your family for giving us a try, and we’d love to have you back again!
