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.

I get why this place was hyped when it first opened. I got the slider with fries and added cheese. The chicken was meaty and juicy, the side sliced pickles were a nice touch, but the star was the fries - crisp, not oily, just the right level of salty-tasty. It was also reasonably priced for the portion size. I've not been to other locations but this one had two floors, was very spacious and well lit. Great for groups or dining alone. Oh, and the bathroom was immaculately clean. Overall a great quick-bite place, and definit... read more

Sorry I'm not a huge fan of this location. We came here last Tuesday after Trivia down the road and were very hungry. We waited 25 minutes for two slider combo, which was .... okay. They were big pieces of chicken and the hot was pretty hot but for the price we would have loved a drink for our combo and for the food to come out slightly hotter.

We'd really love a second chance to make this right. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

Came back again. There was still a dinner rush but was still able to get my order promptly. I had the combo and the chicken was juicy and full of flavor.
