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 food here is bomb. The person who attended us was david and he was super patient with us. The chicken is no joke and the fries are greatly seasoned. They have this sauce as well that comes with the meal and it's so good with fries. Overall the service here was great!!!

Service is good. The tender are delicious! I was on the hunt to get good chicken tenders in the area and this place exceeded my expectations. Also the portions are big and I couldn't finish it at once but I will definitely come back. Good price, portions and service.

So far in my experience, this is the only place that serves true juicy, tender, deep fried chicken. Friendly service and very clean overall.

Friends, family, and I come here when craving a yummy chicken sandwich and cheese fries! We usually get the "medium" level of spice and I think it's the perfect hint of kick. They also have more spicy and milder. We order from DoorDash (for pickup) and pickup from drive-thru. Super convenient. Have never had an issue, everyone's nice, and they're quick! Please bring back the mac & cheese!

Delicious fried (only lightly breaded) chicken with a tasty rub. Simple, relatively inexpensive, no-frills counter service in a pretty clean lobby. I've only been here for lunch, but it's usually fairly quiet except the dusties playing through the PA. Fries are great, especially with their amazing sauce! Many heat levels. I find Medium is enough to feel without losing sensitivity on my tastebuds.
