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

I loooove spicy fried chicken sandwiches. So when I heard about this place opening up, I knew I had to try it. I had the #2 with sliders, medium spice level. The tenders are pretty hefty in size and I appreciate the extra pickles they give. Their slaw was light and fresh. Overall, it was a decent sandwich. The flavor was just ok for me. I feel like it was missing something, a bit more flavor in the chicken seasoning maybe, more oomph. I'm a massive fan of a different chicken shop, so I'm comparing it to that.

I was looking at the pictures of the place and held very high standards based on it. I have been to this place many times and drive about 30 minutes for it. Staff is VERY kind and helpful, food is delicious as well! Definitely recommend!!!
This place is Halal and flavor is great! Hot and extra hot are actually spicy. Mac and cheese is worth trying
If you're a fan of a buffalo style chicken strip, this is not the place for you. Definitely more of a dry rub type chicken. Get the slider with the slaw, as the chicken by itself isn't that great. One of the workers was awesome. Greeting everyone with enthusiasm as they worked in the door. He's the reason this is 3 Stars.

The Chicken was good. The service was rough. They screwed up my order and looked unorganized. It looked like they just picked random bags and gave me two. I did like the Chicken.

(Our visit here was maybe some time in March 2022) As you can see, I bit into my sandwich before being able to get a good picture but the husband and I shared this plate. It's a great price for two people unless you're someone that can eat both sliders. He wasn't all that hungry so that's why we were able to share lol but it's pretty good. I don't have anything negative to say. The guy working the window was awesome so it was also nice to get some great customer service. I will say that they're sauce definitely ta... read more
The chicken was very good here. There are only a few options for the entire menu. I had the hot chicken strips. The total came out to around $16 which is pretty expensive for only 3 chicken strips. I would eat here more if it wasn't so much money. I would recommend the food for the good flavor.

Amazing southern style hot chicken. The mac is also great too! I drive 30 mins out of my way just to get a couple of sliders from this place!
It's good, not amazing but it's good. I liked the sliders the best. Definitely worth a try, but not a place I would visit often... maybe once a year. I did love their customer service, the guy that took our order was amazing.
