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 opene... read more

If you love spicy fried chicken, then I suggest you give this place a try. They're open late, the place is clean (I always get my food to-go), and the food is great. They have varying degrees of spiciness, and I always get the level 'Hot', which for me, is not too spicy but still has some decent kick. I always get the Slider + Tender combo which includes a Chik-Fil-A sized sandwich and pretty big chicken tender along with some crispy french fries, sliced pickles, a piece of toast, and dipping sauce. I usually purchase a si... read more

Walked in as a group as our first time and Ramy was chill helping us pick out items. He was super laid back and hooked us up with some recommendations and the food was bomb. I asked him last minute to make my fries crispy and he hooked it up.

I walked in here and the place was looking clean to the core. The cashier was splendid and I would love to come again. The service was spot on. I can just tell the food will come out amazing and I have not even got it yet.

There's always great food here, but the owner really likes to take care of the guests. My fiancee and I split a 2 slider combo pick up, and they were behind because they ran out of the new cauliflower bites, and some guests wanted it (this was before our pickup order). They were technically out, so they had to cut up fresh cauliflower. Then they got a flurry of customers in, me being one, and I ended up having to wait around 20 minutes for my food. But the whole time the owner kept apologizing and informing me. He even remem... read more
