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 chicken is amazing! My son asks me to eat here all the time. Unfortunately right now they are only located in El Cajon and Pacific Beach but it's worth the drive to the locations from South Bay. You can choose your spice level and the breading is not too much, it's just the right amount. Diego truly recommend this place to anyone who loves chicken.

The food was so scrumptious! Service was amazing and the cashiers were very nice. Wait time is basically non-existent , food came out super fast. The milkshakes are super duper good, 10/10 would recommend.

Best I have ever tasted. OMG. The commercials are truly authentic in my opinion. My new favorite. Chur*** Pope*** KF*** have nothing on them. I saw true bliss when I ate every bite.

Sandwich here has got such a recipe that couldn't be replaced by any other. Unlike many others, this sandwich doesn't require a side sauce to get the heat but it's packed with a punch. Not necessarily that one has to like hot n spicy, simply order the mild level. Otherwise the higher you go, hotter it gets. Like an aficionado as me, I can't help getting this sandwich every now and then, however, I would prefer a time when I can wait the least. And that hasn't happened often. Always busy!
