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 slider and tender was good along with the fires. Mac & cheese was also good but finished it before taking the pic. I don't see the hype in the long lines but overall the food was good.

My wife and I were visiting from Texas and as we were passing by we saw a long line and decided to check out the restaurant. They had one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Marwa who was working the register was extremely helpful and kind and made our experience there much better. If you happen to be around Downtown Dearborn make sure you stop and try this place out. You will definitely want to come back!

I was so excited to try this place after seeing it on instagram. I went on a Thursday at 2pm. There was a line, but it wasn't bad. It took me about 15min to get to the front to order and about 5-10 after that to actually get my order. I really liked the girl at the cash register she was really sweet and helpful. Unfortunately I don't know her name, but she was hijabi. As for the food: I ordered the #3 which comes with a slider, tender, and fries. I also got a soft drink. My total was about 20 something with tip. The s... read more

I always say, if you don't want to wait in a long line, don't go somewhere when it first opens. All of the people who complained about long lines and big crowds and decided not to go (or to leave a bad review) for those reasons are MISSING OUT. The chicken was amazing, the fries were delicious and the line moved surprisingly fast. They're definitely on top of it with the service. It's quick, the food is fresh and the lobby, bathrooms and tables were cleaned consistently as costumers left. We'll definitely be back!

Got my strawberry shake y'all! Not a big fan of the paper straws. Just took the straw out and enjoyed my shake. Coming back again.

I waited outside in the cold to get this sandwich. They say, when there's a line the food must be good. I got a mild chicken sandwich and it was delectable! The fries were crisp and seasoned! I can't say it was worth standing in the cold for but it was good!

Amazing Nashville Hot Chicken sandwiches! Family loved them too. Well worth the one hour and 15 minute wait (time from getting on line to getting food), which actually wasn't bad at all given it's opening weekend. Staff were great too! I'm adding this to my list of Halal Nashville Hot Chicken spots to go to in the country along with Main Chick in Houston and Chickin Drip in San Jose, CA. Definitely coming back here.

Okay so we went the day after grand opening. We waited over an hour in line + ordering + for our food. Let me say that their food was super great but personally I would not wait that long again for chicken. Parking: there is parking behind the building. But many spaces were take up because of how packed they were.

Delicious! Line was long on opening day but the ordering process and wait time thereafter was efficient and timely. The chicken is perfectly crispy and as flavorful as anything you'll find in Tennessee. Can't wait to go back!
