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.

First time eating here and I will be back!!! The service was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable! Dave's sauce is the bomb diggity and the kale coleslaw is amazing. I was a lil skeptical because it was "kale" but no regrets! The thick sliced dill pickles and fries did not disappoint either! The chicken was perfectly crispy and although I got no spice, my son got medium and he wasn't disappointed either! I give them 5plus stars and high recommended!!!

My husband had been raving about this place since before we made a trip to Orlando and I love chicken tenders. Now keep in mind they only have a certain about of spice level and only have dave's sauce for dipping and as a ranch lover that was the only reason I left a 4 star review. The spice on the chicken was good, and flavorful I went with a mild as I wasn't sure of the spicy-ness. The service was great in the restaurant, was greeted with a friendly hello and they were more than willing to go through the menu items with me... read more

Great big piece of chicken. Crunchy. Sauces were very good. Fries nice and crunchy with seasoning. Huge delicious pickles. Got the hot and it was good but I think I would've enjoyed the medium better. Others agreed.

If you crave hot chicken, make the drive to Chicken Fire at 2425 E Colonial. Their chicken is crispier, juicier, hotter, and has a better meat to breading ratio. Their fries have better seasoning. And their workers are friendlier. The best things about this place are that it's convenient to east Orlando/Oviedo, has plenty of parking, and outdoor seating in the shade.

Food was okay. Not much flavor if you ask me. Ordered combo 2, 2 sliders and fries. The fries are lukewarm, but still good. Split the sliders with my mom. She got the mild and I had the reaper. I like that you can choose 2 different spice levels. To be honest, the reaper is not that spicy. I felt her mild tastes the same as mine. Maybe they didn't put enough spice on mine. Btw, you need to sign a waiver if you order the reaper.

Delicious. Only knocked it down 1 star because I ordered a mild slider but there was no way it was mild. Half way though my nose was running and ears popped and I have a pretty high spice tolerance. Still great food nonetheless lol

TL;DR: chicken is pretty good, prices are a bit high for what you get, location is small, staff were very courteous. So we've been here twice; one of the times we wanted to dine in, but seating was very limited and there weren't any seats available, so we got it to go instead. The other time, we were just grabbing to go (not that that mattered because again there were barely any available seats. I will say that the staff both times were very warm and helpful with our questions. The atmosphere is pretty basic. A little bit o... read more

It's been a while since I came here, but I definitely think it's a contender for the hottest chicken in the city. The reaper tender is no joke. The heat starts slow, but it creeps up on you as you eat until it becomes too much to handle. Heed the waiver! I also got the regular hot tender while I was there and it was delicious. Definitely order in instead of doordashing. They make everything to order, and getting hot, fresh fried chicken is one of God's greatest gifts to man. The atmosphere is fun with a really trippy desig... read more
