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

Very juicy chicken. But be warned, the medium heat is quite hot. Not for the timid. Better to phone ahead. Waited 15 minutes for my order.

My two boys loved it. I thought it was just ok... not worth the extra calories for sure. Lol. But to be fair I prefer a more tangy/vinegar sauce over sweet.. especially with meat.

On the pricier side for a chicken joint. It's always pretty full but it's on campus so it's pretty expected. The staff was super friendly and was helpful with answering questions. Giving 3 stars just because it was nothing crazy food wise. They also dont have any dipping sauce besides a house fry sauce in packets. Get some ranch guys!

Excellent customer service! Nice and clean! I ordered the Dave's #3 with Medium (didn't expect that kick but it was still a little spicy!) The tender was juicy white meat didn't really care for the fry rub on the tenders but was still tasty. The Dave's Sauce was delicious! Overall the four of us enjoyed our food and were full! I would visit again!

A fun new place if you are a hot chicken lover! Though the menu is small and simple there is a spice level for everyone. I got the #3 combo so I could try both a tender and slider. You can mix and match spice, so I got the sandwich as mild and the tender as lite mild. I would recommend going at least mild, because anything less is just a dry rub which wasn't quite as tasty. The mild had just a nice little kick and was great in slider form. Though slider is a funny name, because it was the size of a full sandwich. The whole m... read more

Holy sh*t. Where has this food been my entire life. The chicken is SO GOOD and the fries are beyond expectations. Definitely a cool atmosphere inside! The Mild was great, decent amount of spice but still got the other flavors on the chicken and in the spice mix. The medium was also delicious!

Soo good! It's so refreshing that the heat levels actually reflect the levels of heat, as I have a ridiculously high spice tolerance. This is easily something everyone can enjoy, even picky eaters!

Nice juicy and crispy chicken tenders. Pretty spendy at almost $5 per, but I guess we live in a spendier world now. Think a small/medium chicken breast, not a chicken finger. Even the Medium packs some spice, so start there and push your comfort zone from there. They make you sign a waiver to order the Reaper. It's a dry heat that builds to a pretty good level! (YMMV) I have no idea why they give you a slice of white bread with every tender. Just seems weird. Only 2 reasons I can think of, 1) so you can make the juvenile jo... read more
