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

Tried Dave's Hot Chicken after hearing all the hype -- big mistake. First of all, it's way too expensive for what you get. I paid premium prices for some chicken tenders and fries that left me feeling like I just swallowed a brick. The calorie count is insane, and I walked out of there feeling bloated like a balloon. But the real horror didn't start until a few hours later. I was fighting for my life on the toilet. Not even joking -- it felt like a full-body cleanse I didn't ask for. Honestly, it's just overhyped fast food... read more
This was good, but I'm not sure I'll be back. I had a single hot tender and fries. I really appreciated that "hot" (which is far from their spiciest option) is legitimately hot. However, neither the chicken nor the fries struck me as all that impressive. Both were fine. They just weren't anything special. I did not care for the sauce, which was too sweet. Service was quick and polite. Given the nutritional content here (almost 1,000 calories for a single tender and a smallish fries), I don't think I'll be back.
Slowest service ever - restaurant was not busy either. Do not recommend. Go to Popeyes instead. Cashier was unfriendly.
Was looking forward to this place opening up here. Got a Combo and a soda. Someone very kindly took my tray, and I thought I'd just drink a refill before heading out. Someone else comes up and asks "Excuse me, did you order anything?" I point to the soda and it's met with "oh that's it?" The store is full of seating, other people don't have trays in front of them. What was the point of the rudeness?
