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 was really happy when I drove by and there was a line of cars waiting, so I decided to stop and order. The line went by fast and the menu was easy to follow. However, I should have ordered the lite or no batter the mild was to spicy for me and I ended up scraping half of the batter off. I wasn't happy paying $13.00 for 2 chicken tenders and a small cup of salad. I must say the tenders themselves were awesome.

Very happy they chose Howell as their newest location!! Good food and very friendly staff, lines are long but worth the wait. Was very impressed when the manager came outside to tell us there was no wait inside and sure enough I had my order in 5 minutes. My new favorite.

Ate here for the first time, I know this place is new and everyone's there, but if you got time to wait in line for a minute you definitely will not regret it! I got the "Hot" spice the first time and next I will kick it up a notch and go with extra hot. Overall, this place is very nice, workers are polite and hard working. Prices a on the higher side but Ill tell ya, It's worth it!

We went for dinner on Saturday after Grand Opening and the place was pretty packed. Service very was good and we were able to get a table. Self serve for your drinks and wait for your number to be called. It is a bit loud so it can be hard to hear your number as they don't always use the mic. Food was prepared and packed correctly, hot, fresh and juicy. I had the two sliders, wife and son had tenders. I did not care for the kale slaw at all and removed it. The tender meal is a better deal as the pieces are larger for less$$ ... read more

PHENOMENAL. Just stopped in today and the food was extremely good and prepared very quickly! I got extra mild tenders. A mild slider, fries, and a vanilla shake. The mild slider is going to be my go to, it was phenomenal with just enough spice. Possibly the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I wish I could rate this place higher, very impressed!

Attended grand opening today and have to say the food experience was about average. Considering this is just chicken it's hard to judge against other dining places. Essentially it's just fast food fried chicken. It is good and moist so that's a plus. If they offered more sides and a good dessert like peach cobbler. They would have maybe got this review higher. Advice, if your going with a friend just order the #2. It's enough to share and will save you some $$$
