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

Quick service and great chicken! Went with the combo #3 with medium heat which gives you a tender and slider. Fries were crispy and the dipping sauce had awesome flavor. Also ordered a side of Mac and cheese which was extremely creamy, but the cup was barely filled half way. Would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area to up the heat a notch and try the hot flavor in a combo.

Great food and service. While they are known for hot chicken, I am glad they offer the no spice option - that is my favorite. I also like their vanilla milkshake. It is easy to order on their website for a quick pickup. I recommend stopping by.

A terrific fast-casual fried chicken spot! I have heard a co-worker rave about this place, and one Sunday decided to venture out. While it may not be worth a frequent half-hour drive, they are doing their thing right. The menu is kept simple, and the focus is on expertly preparing chicken (well, and fries too). I ordered a single slider, "hot," and a side of fries. A slider is filled with a single tender. As such, it fills just about 75% of the sandwich. Reason enough to get a #3 next time! (#3 = one slider + one tender + ... read more

Came here on a Thursday night before closing. Food came out fast and hot. I tried the #3, 1 slider (extra hot) and 1 tender (hot). The chicken was crispy & juicy. The slaw and sauce on the slider were also delicious. The biggest let down for me was the spice level. In my opinion the hot was very mild and the extra hot was just a medium level spice. I guess I'll have to try reaper next time. Also, the price was a little high for the value. I think I'll be back to try the reaper spice, but not for anything else. Nice to try it... read more
