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

Quick, high quality bites from this franchise! We had to make sure we were in Naperville and not Nashville! Environment: Order at the counter and pick up your own food. The place was packed when we visited (a Thursday afternoon), and we actually had to wait a few minutes to claim a table. The space is really small, but definitely got a sense of casual comfort as well. This place is the perfect spot for friends to grab a quick and delicious meal. Food: Even though it was busy, the food came out in 10-15 mins tops. We tried... read more

Outstanding all around. My girl loves the chicken slider without any heat or spice, just plain. I want extra hot and all the fixins. However, I go takeout and I'm 20 minutes away so instead of putting all the condiments on the sandwich and making it a mess during the ride, they'll put everything on the side. Great job, great staff. Also, fries are great but get side of cheese cup. Very impressed with everything other than the location which is kind of hidden so be aware when using Waze or Maps because it just pops... read more

This place has the most fire chicken. My girl and I got this for dinner, and we couldn't even finish our food because it's so filling and satisfying. #ChickenSandwich #ChickenTenders

Not Hattie B's in Nashville, but well-cooked chicken with some real good heat. Only drawback is the sauce, which was fairly tasteless and lack of ranch to have something to cool you down. The fries were very good but ask for them without the seasoning (paprika?). Also, one slider is plenty for one person, unless you have a huge appetite or plan to split the meal.

The food at this place is amazing! The menu is pretty basic chicken tenders/strips and chicken sandwiches. They call the sandwiches "sliders" but that's a bit deceiving they are larger than a traditional slider. I tried hot and extra hot, the hot was perfect, the extra hot was a bit too spicy for me but still very good. I see a lot of other reviews with people commenting that the prices are high, however I feel the portions are fairly large so price is justified IMO. The chicken is great with perfect crispy fried breading ... read more

Have a bucket of water after you finish your sliders and other chicken tenders. Cause it's spicy and has a bit of salt to make you thirsty

Today I went into the restaurant and was helped by 2 young ladies I noticed were newer. They were very friendly and helpful. This energy was much needed today for me. Kennise & Erin, deserve recognition for being great new employees.

This place is almost perfect. The food tastes amazing, atmosphere is amazing, people working there are nice. However, there is one big big problem. I went here with some friends some months ago. We all got the Dave's 2 with fries, my friends couldn't finish it because their booty hole felt like Hiroshima in 1945. I figured since I was on the bigger side, I could finish it. Boy was I wrong. I finish the whole thing and proceed to ride home in the passenger seat. This whole time, my mouth felt like it was Pompeii and I was c... read more
