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.

Fries were mid. Chicken sandwich looked unhealthy ash, price weren't it for it too. You're better off going to wingstop sandwhich

Wanted to try it so made the 40-minute trek up north today. Didn't realize it was a dry rub-- was expecting a hot sauce. Not really my cup of tea. Makes me think I'm eating chalk. Fries get zero stars. If they had salt and mustard they could've gotten a bump to a star or two, but without it just dry, flavorless, mediocrity. The slider was the best part because the slaw and sauce and pickles helped balance the dry, powdery rub. The tenders are just dry. I also got a slushy thing which was awful. The "ice cream" was pure... read more

Food was alright but the atmosphere could use some work. Loud kids, garbage at times. The chicken was ok, could do with a little less seasoning.

I was really excited as we are on a hot chicken journey but this fell flat. Kids weren't too excited either. Maybe it was the staff they seemed overworked and it was near closing. We will return i hope.

I live for a food review and I'm glad the guy told me to leave one for a free drink. This is my first time trying this place and my initial experience when walking in was mid, however, when placing my order a guy told me I could get a free drink if I leave a review. I asked for his name to include in the review (which his name is JOHN) but I got this weird vibe after I asked for his name because I guess he thought I was trying to talk to him.. that was such an unpleasant experience and caused me to feel uncomfortable afterwa... read more

Straight garbage. Sold me cauliflower bites instead of chicken and insisted that I should have known. Really!??? Very poor customer service.

Quick service, parking lot and it's nice you can mix and match and they offer their own sauce. Now let's talk about the actual food.... It's been 3 hours and my stomach is still bloated... I'm very much concerned with the food that I ate. I can't even say you get what you paid for as it was kinda pricey for fast food. Overall, It be nice for them to get a food inspection of some sort.
