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 come here quite a bit when I'm craving hot chicken. Their spicy rub and sauce are very tasty. Customer service is good, people at the counter are friendly. I had a particularly good experience with Christine.

Love the food and great service. Jolene is always positive and helpful. I'm a tad bit addictive to this place.

Food is always spectacular. I'm not really one for spice so mild is usually my choice, super tasty every time. They give you the extra pickles and extra spreads every time. Best part about every Dave's visit is being greeted by lovely staff. Today Ruth gave me some tips to get a freebie slider through the app so shoutout to her!

Came here for the first time a few days ago, and what stood out to me the most was the customer service! The employee named Ruth carried the experience; she was so happy even when no one was looking. Her positivity was contagious! The inside is very spacious and clean. Restrooms are very clean as well, and require a code to open the door. The menu is short, but enough, and does not leave you needing more options. The food is good. I got the tenders with fries in mild, but if I ever go back I would try the medium or ho... read more

Ok, so this place helped me find out how "white" I am. I ordered tenders mild & after one bite my mouth & lips were burning. My teen daughter ate & I stopped elsewhere to get something bland. The layout is great & it's a fun, friendly place. All the staff is incredible. The 3 stars is because my mouth & throat couldn't take the heat

I saw this place from the outside yesterday and their signage caught my eye. I decided to go in and give it a try. The inside was very clean and had nice artwork. Giovanni took my order and had a great attitude. Once I ordered I only had to wait about 6 or 7 minutes to get my food. I ordered the slider sandwich with medium spice as a combo meal with the fries. The sandwich was awesome and the fries along with the dipping sauce were superb. I am definitely going to go back again sometime this week to eat it again. I give it 5... read more
