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

Great chicken, definitely gets spicy! My husband got the extra hot and I got the lite mild spice. Mine was a little too spicy for my taste, but I'm a wimp with spice. My husband loved his, definitely spicy. Their fries are nice crispy crinkle cut fries, not too much mushy potato. Their house sauce is alright, kind of sweet/tangy like Hat Creek Burger's. Our meals came with extra pickles and sauce, which I loved! Overall, great place. Definitely best Nashville hot chicken in Waco.

Cool fast food spot with good food. I got the two slider combo hot. Unless you're really hungry one is enough and it's more of a regular size sandwich than slider. I did try a side of the reaper sauce and it was definitely SPICY. The girl at the counter was very helpful giving me a run down of the options. Open late as well.

Parked my truck at the QT next door. Was gonna walk over to the IHOP but was too busy and didn't feel like waiting. So came here instead. The girls behind the counter were friendly with pleasant attitudes. Very small basic menu. The food was good. What I didn't like was the way too small cup size for the beverages. She said it was their largest. I mean, come on. What am I, 5 years old? Also it quite messy. You have to wash your hands and face when done eating.

It was good just took awhile to get your food. If you can eat a lot then two sliders is enough but one slide meal was sufficient for me.

Delicious! I had the hot chicken strips and it was the perfect heat for me. I loved how you can pick how much spice you want. I drizzled honey on it and really enjoyed it.

By far the BEST CHICKEN I have ever eaten! I will be going back on a regular basis! I had medium spice to try the level of heat - I look forward to trying the hot next. Service was friendly and happy!

Our first time to stop in. Love that this place is open late while almost everything around closes at 9 PM. Great location, right off the freeway for hungry travelers. My 9 year old loved her no-spice slider. She doesn't like any sauces so I was a little concerned that there would be something for her. She gave it two thumbs up. My sliders and my husband's tenders were delicious. We both got medium spice - and we were surprised that they were still fairly spicy. We will move down to mild next time. We like spice, but by t... read more

We ordered a Dave's #4 Two sliders with cheese fries. Tenders are always fresh and so juicy and the spice levels are always on point! You can't go wrong with the cheese fries they are so good! And the drive through staff are always friendly. Andrea and Donna where awesome!

Super clean, and very fast! The chicken tenders are very large, so two really is plenty! The fries were super crispy, and I loved the seasoning combined with the sauce. I'd even recommend the mac n cheese. Overall, great experience! I ate in the restaurant, so I can't say how it travels.
