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 JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

Gone there 3 times now, excited to have another halal fried chicken joint in the area. It was ok the first time, great the second time, and again ok the third time. Not sure why. Their menu is very simple, either a large chicken tender or a fried chicken sandwich. The portions are also big. Not a fan of the kale slaw in my sandwich by your opinion may vary. The fries are consistently great. My advice: stick to Hot or Extra Hot for spice level, otherwise you will not taste anything except cayenne. The heat is tolerable for ... read more
I love that the menu here is really simple! You basically choose from three options - sliders, tenders, or a combo. I ordered a combo - extra hot slider and reaper tender because I was skeptical about whether the reaper would actually be too spicy to handle. I do enjoy spicy food (for reference, I enjoy buldak hot chicken ramen...) so I decided to give it a shot. The extra hot chicken slider was delicious! Perfect spicy but not burning hot for me. The reaper on the other hand... it was quite spicy after a couple bites. As ... read more
I'd definitely order from here again. I ordered through Grubhub and unfortunately the food arrived cold even though the restaurant isn't far but I think Grubhub took awhile to assign a driver so not the restaurant's fault! I ordered the 2 slider combo in hot. Despite having to reheat, it was tasty and had a nice kick to it. I'll try extra hot next time because I love spicy food. Fries were above average...I'm sure they must be even better not reheated. The sliders are quite large so it was very filling. The chicken was nice... read more
No words. Just pure amazement. The delicious and juicy chicken sandwiches can satisfy any food craving. Beware of the reaper! It's not for everyone, but it is delicious. Just need a tough stomach! Would highly recommend and will always be back.
Delicious!! Stopped here on a whim for lunch. It was so good! The place was immaculate and the service was fantastic! Please bring to Acton!!! Within 10 minutes of arriving they got slammed but the staff were on top of it! Will have to try the shakes!
Chicken is a 10/10. It's super crispy and the flavor is on point. However the Mac and cheese was a disappointment. The business photos make it look good but what I got was basically soupy cheese sauce with a few noodles. If the texture was better it could be good because I like that they add spice to the cheese sauce.
So delicious! We have gone three times since it opened, making the trek from the south end but its worth the ride. Everything is fresh, staff was very friendly and the line moved quickly. My daughter announce that the french fries were the best she's ever had and my husband got the #3 with a side of mac and cheese. Portions were so generous we had it for lunch and dinner the next day. So excited to go back. Katie R South End (rgd)
Worth a try! We got two #3s, one medium and one mild. I didn't really think medium was spicy at all so I might level up next time. The chicken is on the darker crispy side which isn't my preference but it was still tender. If you want the best value, I highly recommend getting #2 instead with the two sliders. I think their sauce has a bit too much mayo and needs some acidity to balance. Their fries however were phenomenal and seasoned well. Also bonus points for their tasty pickles! We also got a Mac and cheese for fun - ... read more
