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.

Friendly service, clean restaurant, delicious food! Great value compared to other hot chicken restaurants. Plenty of seating, lively atmosphere with loud music. I love that they offer cauliflower versions of their menu for vegetarians! I hope they keep it on their menu permanently. My partner loved his (hot) chicken very much. I loved my (mild) cauliflower slider!

Yummy chicken. I think the medium-to-mild might be the best tasting because if it's too spicy you can't taste the flavor at all . My bf really liked this place. Although, the tenders do have a little more flavor compared to the sandwiches. Workers at the front were very sweet and answered the questions well. I like the area this spot is at as well

Appreciate the love and the awesome 5-star review! Your support means a lot to us. Let's continue making great memories together!

By Fog Horn-Leg Horn, Chicken Done Right! In the eternal quest for chicken done right the journey is long and hard. Do I hit the cartoon character (Popeye's), am I interested in the military (Colonel Sanders/KFC) or do I get religious (Churches)? In times past I would go for sliced thin (Chick Fil-A) or be reduced for some Safeway deep fried grease. It is either too crunchy, too spicy, not enough spice, or way too salty. I was fighting with myself as though it was a Biblical episode (Cane's Chicken). Then there is Dave,...... read more

I have to say that this place is way above any of the large chain chicken sandwiches/ tenders! The price is comparable too. The staff seem to really enjoy working here and they are fantastic at customer service and keeping the place nice and tidy the minute. Someone leaves tables walk down they come around ask you if you would like some more sauces or anything this was absolutely refreshing and I appreciate them so. The sandwich topping was not my favorite flavor. Kind of reminded me of shake and bake topping a saltytopping ... read more
