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

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

Chicken sandwich wars have a new winner. Great combo of flavor and a bit of crunch. Hot chicken with honey, pickles, and a creamy dipping sauce. Good fries as well. Best chicken sandwich I've had!

I will say that it would have gotten a 5 if it was cheaper. That is the only knock is that I got 1 slider, fries and a small drink and it was like $13. The meal tasted amazing. The chicken was great. The sauce and pickles are damn delectable. Hell even my french fries were crispy and super fresh! I can not say 1 bad word about the food in any way shape or form. I would say you should go every once in a while and treat yoself

The establishment really feels like a Nashville chicken spot. From the exterior, interior, and the service it feels like it is comfortable with what it has to offer. The portion size is reasonable for the price and the chicken is seasoned really well. You definitely won't be wanting more in terms of flavor, it has a salty and spicy (depending on what you order) dry rub in addition to some sauces that can add some extra kick or another layer of complexity to the flavor. However, the chicken itself was a bit on the dry side. ... read more
