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.

Totally in Love with this place!!! I get why people hype it up so much. My love for Canes is real but have you tried chicken tenders with heat levels because here you got options. It's a hidden gem in Fullerton. Got to chicken spot with juicy halal chicken (which apparently pretty popular for), great atmosphere and amazing customer service.

Take this review very seriously food is excellant however this is the type of place where hot means HOT !! . If it goes in hot and spicey be prepared for the end results make sure your toilet has a seat belt and a CO2 extinguisher near by!

Chicken was proper Nashville style. And in typical Nashville style, the heal ratings are in a different category. Fries were crispy and seasoned well. Mac n cheese was decent. But overall great meal. Highly recommend trying.

So...HOT! I had the slider/ tender combo. It was sooo good, but I didn't realize I ordered hot until I was halfway done. It was bearable with great flavor, if u really want to enjoy it, I recommend at least going medium. I had it about 3 hours ago, and my lips are still tingling. Either way, ....really good and crispy! I'll most certainly be back

They had southern jazz music playing which we enjoyed. They have 5 different spice levels from mild to Reaper. Glenda and the mild spice slider and I went for the medium s... read more

My boyfriend and I love this place!! We really appreciate how consistent this food spot is where the food and service is always the same good quality which makes us want to come back. The portion is really filling especially if you opt for the slider instead of the tender. The chicken is always super juicy and thick and a big size. The fries are a perfect crinkle cut with some slight seasoning they add. We love how generous they are with the Dave's sauce, honey, and ketchup!! They do give a good amount pickles! One downside... read more
