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

Been here many times as this is the closest to where we stay. We usually order a 2pc chicken sammich meal with fries and a soda. The portions are enough to get both of us full, but not overstuffed! The flavors are good, usually get a little hotter (don't remember the hot scale) but its pretty good, and food comes out pretty fast. Parking is easy, its in the corner of alton and bristol so it's near everyting! Make sure to lock your car when you're in that parking near Target as there are alot of people roaming around from th... read more
