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 actually really liked my chicken there. I got the original hot tenders that were excellent and spicy enough. The chicken was very crunchy and flavorful as well. I have had Hot Chicken like this before and this was the real deal. The only downside is that the menu was a little confusing/misleading to me. I know that sounds a bit counter intuitive, but your real choices are either two tenders or two sandwiches (or one of each). They will sell you an additional tender or sandwich, but they were on the expensive side. Knowin... read more

Great service and chicken sandwiches. The cashier introduced himself to me and to Grace (guy who will give me my food). He also ask my how my day was. Big fan of the personal touch. We got a combo #3, Mac and cheese and an extra slider medium heat level. Fries are fantastic and sandwiches very tasty. Highly recommend.

Every time I come here, we are always taken care of. We drive 40 minutes to eat here from how amazing the food, quality and cleanliness is. The sandwich is impeccable truly makes me feel like I'm home in California again. Guy is one of the nicest people there and his hospitality is truly so sincere. Always coming back to this location!!

Combo #1: these two tenders were delicious and large. I was stuffed after eating them and didn't have room to finish the yummy cheese fries. Staff is friendly. Restaurant is clean. I look forward to going back soon.

Excellent place for halal fried chicken sandwiches. The only drawback is that it's far but I also heard they may be opening more locations.

Honestly it's the best. The spicier the better. Such good service and such great chicken. The inside of the restaurant is so fun. My only complaint is how come they're not in Austin, Texas! But I would drive all the way to Chicago for it.

Ordered online and picked up the slider and tender combo meal. Here's why only 3 stars: Online ordering easy, timely completion on point, packaging of food protects crispness, staff polite and friendly, place is clean., the texture is great and the quality of the meat itself as a raw material is high, and the portions are very generous so great value for your money. HOWEVER , and this is a BIG HOWEVER: the chicken is so so salty. This is coming from a woman who loves her salt! The only things that made it edible is... read more
