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

First time trying this place. Got a free slider today for Drake's birthday. The slider was delicious and spicy with the chicken, pickles and slaw intermingling nicely with the sauce for a unique sandwich. Added drops of honey to the chicken for a little touch of sweetness. Fries were crispy. Ask for extra sauce to dip the fries. Service was swift and friendly. The restaurant was fresh, bright and clean with indoor and outdoor seating. Will be making this a habit.

We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!

Dave has done it again, with a cauliflower not chicken slider - that has all the crunch, all the flavor, and all the bite of a hot chicken sandwich. This could be one of the best vegetarian sandwiches out. Even better than fake chicken, they keep the cauliflower firm, and they manage to bread it so that the breading and crunch stays on the cauliflower. This sandwich is a revelation, and I hope it stays on the menu. Bravo!

Very clean place, surprisingly only 1 other customer was in line. Which kinda annoyed me because I called to place the order and the recorded message says to "visit our website because the team members were busy and couldn't get to your call" r something like that (Was trying to order ahead). So I got the slider Hot and fries well done. Less the $11.00. Waited about 5 mins. got my order and as I got the bag I thought shoot this feels light. Probably should've ordered more. FRIES were on point, just enough salt and crispy. T... read more
