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 op... read more

Great portions for the price. #2 combo was delicious and was filling for 2 people. Cheese fries were fresh and delicious

Lives up to the hype! The drive-thru moves fast and they appear to have their act together at this new Hot chicken place. Small and simple menu which is good for everyone. Definitely add cheese to the sliders so you have a sauce on each side of the bun . The 'Extra hot' sauce seems to be on the same Heat level as real Nashville 'HOT' chicken standards. Love that they give you white bread,extra sauce and pickles it helps to justify the price. I didn't want to like this place as it is NOT close to me. I'll have to schedule so... read more

First time diner. Simple menu. Delicious food. Portions are big that we took leftovers home. Extra hot and hot are amazing. Highly recommend.

Somehow the chicken tastes even better cold. Second time now I've had left overs in my fridge and the chicken is still juicy and crunchy, I don't know how they do it but I'm obsessed!!

Was recommended this place by a friend and don't regret it one bit , the only part I do is wishing I knew about it sooner and maybe not trying the hottest flavor right off the bat. Will come back though!

Solid food. A lot of food per order. Our order got messed up but they quickly fixed it.

Delicious chicken tenders and sliders! i liked the sliders better then the plain tenders. There were only 3 choices of meals to order from so that made everything easy and simple. The price was affordable and the portions were big. I have one less star because i thought the indoor seating was congested and there was no space to sit outside because of the amount of people there! 

Business response:

Hey Naheed, very sorry about the seating issue. Would you be willing to connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc so that we can try and make it up to you? -Julie

Review - Food quality (A-) It's good and worth a visit. I like the chicken tender sandwich and felt like it was filling. Compared to the other chicken sandwiches from a QSR it is superior. I would get it over KFC or Popeyes. The chicken tender was okay by itself. Fries were good but nothing spectacular - same with the pickles and bread. I got a medium spice and felt a kick to it - but I'm bland. So I can see why people would like it spicy. Value (A-) $13 bucks for what i put in the picture - a bit pricey - but the sa... read more

It's pretty good but it's not great for the price it would be nice to have an actual chicken breast not just a tender. I ordered 3 slider meals and had a hard time in their drive through. The people taking the order did not instruct the cars to pull up and I was stuck just outside trying to turn in with traffic trying to get around me. The two teenagers outside were talking to each other and could have done a better job if they were paying attention to their line. The gentlemen at the drive through was very nice and did a go... read more
