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

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!

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

My son and I went here for dinner tonight, the food was good, but definitely very spicy. I had the hot and it was really hot, and I LOVE spicy! My son had the mild and he said it was pretty spicy for mild. My only complaint about our experience was the cost. I couldn't believe it was $25 for two combo meals. My son ordered one tender, a small chicken sandwich, and a fry. I ordered two tenders and a fry, and it was $25! A bit too pricey personally.

Finally got to check this place out which I was seeing all over Instagram in California! The sandwich was so flavorful and juicy, loved everything about it. Only thing I would say is definitely order two since they are a little smaller than most chicken sandwiches we have in the Chicagoland area. Other than that, I loved it! The interior is so colorful and fun. I will definitely be getting extra sauce and pickles next time around. Also staff was very friendly, can't remember the cashiers name!

First time but definitely not the last time! Have been wanting to check this place out since I saw it opened and today my family and I had the chance . It's not close to where we live so we made plan to head here for lunch on way to other errands for the day. Arrived about 11:30 was no line but we got lucky! As soon as we were ordering more and more customers were coming in. The restaurant was clean and we were assisted right away- ordered combo 3 which came with a tender and a slider , fries , pickles and bread with their ... read more
