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 service was amazing, Vanessa was very friendly and helpful especially since I was asking a lot of questions about the different types of heat. The food is always so good and I really love their French fries. It's always a clean and well maintained restaurant, love their atmosphere there. Would recommend to anyone who hasn't had it yet.

The food is always great and the service fantastic. I just wanted to leave a review. There was a new employee being trained. The employee training her was doing such a great job. Very patient. Giving her great information and teaching her some exceptional customer service skills especially if they were getting busy. The food was fantastic as well!
