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

I hate to admit it but this place actually exceeded my expectations. I was expecting dry chicken, either under spiced or overly spiced, stale and crumbly bread or soggy fries but it was NONE of that. The total opposite! FOOD: The bread is perfection it really does make the sandwich much much better than it is. It is soft and buttery. The ratio of the batter and chicken is perfect. The chicken was juicy and meaty. I went for medium and it was just right. I think it is a lot milder than other "mediums" at other places but sti... read more

It's a tough category since SLO has some other great chicken places. And ... read more

We had such a wonderful experience. It had been such a long day and we went in super late... around closing time but Elizabeth was an absolute sweetheart!! She was so kind to us, so talkative, and made us feel welcome! The manager was also so kind! Shoutout to the closing team!!
