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

Flavor, check. Spice, 100%. Service, friendly & fast. Location decor is really cool and interesting. Including a full size man-chicken? that was fun to see! The spice does not mess around though, IF you think you can handle heat maybe think again or go a flavor down. I got Reaper and yes, it was delicious but it's a dry rub so mind you it catches in the throat! and gets pretty hot! All the degrees of heat are tasty though, we got plain for our baby and the chicken was juicy with good flavor as well. Fries, perfect too! Onl... read more

The chicken sandwiches have SOOOOO much flavor. Amazing! The new slushees are fantastic for the summer. The strawberry lemonade is tart and great tasting.

The same guy is always there with the positive energy and great customer service his name is Paul. As someone who has been in every position at a restaurant, this man does an amazing job at it. Great food always, first time it wasn't for me but the second time was amazing and has been ever since. It's always clean and the ambiance is 11/10. Leaders like him are hard to find nowadays. Also, we got our food in a few minutes so the back crew was hustling big time!

Came here with my friends after a concert and we were helped by the sweetest worker named Paul. He was so attentive and kind with all the customers. Will definitely be returning to this location!
