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

Full disclosure: I was bribed with a rubber chicken to write this review. Even so, everything I am saying is true because this place is awesome. The chicken is fresh and delicious. You might have to wait a few minutes but it's worth it. They offer different levels of heat from no spice to reaper. Reaper is legit hot. Employees are friendly.

Metal chairs with wood tables, loud music, but the music selection ... read more

The bites were so good and moist. The help was great at helping us decide what to order. The medium hot was a bit spicy for our taste. We liked the mild the best. We will definitely be back. 

Business response:

Glad you enjoyed the bites, Craig! Medium can definitely bring some heat, but sounds like mild was the winner for you. Appreciate the love—hope to see you back soon!
