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.

Hadn't been here in quite awhile. Got the Lunch Special, tweener heat level, with sweet vinegar slaw and pimento ranchero dipping sauce. The chicken came out crispy and tender. Not bad for $10.59. Service was quick.

Hot chicken is one of my favorite foods and this is one of my favorite places to get it! Chicken is fresh, made to order and it's great quality chicken tenders! Love their sauce selection, the ranch is my favorite! The tweener heat is the perfect lil kick but not too much. Absolutely delicious!

We stopped in because my husband's grandmas name is Joella, and thought we would try it out since we were hungry for some lunch. We were instantly greeting by Melinda which was very friendly, sweet, knowledgeable and caring, we would have came back just for her sweetness. The food was amazing, I had the chicken sandwich, my husband had the chicken and waffles and kids had the tenders & mac and cheese. Everything was delicious. The "Ella" sauce is the best combo and spicy and sweet. Love it. Will definitely be coming back

The food was very good. I was glad it was more than your traditional chicken sandwich. The garlic parm fries were very tasty.

I am ordering from this place so frequently I feel like. I mean they are putting out good deals. BOGO chicken sandwiches and entire meals (entrees and sides without the drink), $5 off coupon on anything (as long as the order is more than $5), and even a free meal! I think I have pretty much tried everything on the menu at this place because of the deals. I feel bad that I am not seeing as many people when I go there. The Mongolian Grill next door seems to be where everyone is at. On this visit, I ordered a strawberry sh... read more
