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

First time here on Valentine's Day 2023 with my babygirl and OMG the food was so good!!! But the CUSTOMER SERVICE was out of this world 1000/10 Paul went above and beyond he is literally so sweet. He knew it was our first time here and we had ordered something too hot for us but were just gonna get through it we didn't want to complain at all since we knew what we had signed up for, and during the meal he asked us how everything was and noticed my cousin struggling hahaha and offered to make her a less spicy slider. So sweet... read more

Everything is delish! The pickles always taste incredibly fresh. I typically go for the hot sliders. My husband likes the medium. The fries are also really good and I like that we're able to order them with no seasoning for my son. You can also order tenders with no spice and they're still really good. Overall great place! We go at least once every couple weeks.
