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

This feels like a chance to fake brag and say I got the hottest chicken they have--I didn't. We got one hot, one mild, both #3, which is the slider, strip, and fries. The fries were crispy and well seasoned, the crinkle cut variety. The strip came with a piece of white bread. The slider had the nice little slaw on it, and I would probably get the sliders again over the strip simply because the white bread was dry. Overall, the chicken flavor is solid. 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!!

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
