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.

Wow, the difference between medium and hot was quite a step in spice. But the jump from hot to whatever was after hot was insane! Finally a real spicy chicken. Made me teary and question my choice. Service was fast and decor was a vibe inside. My only complaint is the cost of the chicken and the cooking oil used to fry the chicken.

This was our second visit to this restaurant. The first time we gave it a five this time it's a 3 1/2. The hot cauliflower nuggets were really good. I recommend eating them right away. We traveled 10 minutes home and they were much softer. The chicken, tender, à la cart, was a disappointment. On our last visit, it was a very large tender to cover the whole slice of bread. This time it was three pieces of tender, trying to cover the whole bread. It was much more difficult to eat. 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc?

Tried this the other day. Wasn't much impressed. Not sure how I feel about rubbed on hot sauces. Probably won't go back.

The only thing better than the juicy chicken and seasoned fries is the service. The man who helped us, Javi, was so kind and the epitome of "service with a smile." He was very helpful with suggesting what to try, all great recommendations. The dining room was clean and very casual/comfortable for our meal. 

Business response:

Hey Kim, love hearing this! Thanks for the kind words—we’re thrilled you enjoyed the food and had such a great experience with Javi. We’ll be sure to pass along the shoutout! Hope to see you again soon!

First time here and the customer service was top tier. We rolled through pretty late so it was pretty empty but they were on it and even offered some extras. Very kind and warm. The food itself was some of the best chicken I've ever had. Definitely recommend. 

Business response:

Thanks for sharing, Lily! We’re so glad you felt the love from our team—top-tier service is what we aim for! It’s awesome to hear the chicken made such an impression, too. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
