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.

best chicken tenders I had in a long time and I will defentily recommend all of the people looking for a crispy hot chicken sandwich to go tap in and eat a tasty sandwich
10/10 food, service, and the ambiance was amazing. Workers were nice and patient, even though I came in with a group of 5.
Service was amazing, food was fresh and tender, and the ambiance was amazing. 10/10 experience
The service was great and the food was even better than anything I have ever tasted in my life
Food was so juicy, tender, and glorious in my mouth. To continue, the employees literally sat by my side and made sure my meal was a 10/10 and even changed my order to my exact liking. Relating to ambiance, amazing vibes music was playing and workers were dancing. Will come again!
I pissed my pants while waiting in line. Workers were super nice, the manager let me use his pants and he gave me the meal for free!
Absolutely amazing. For a fast food place, this is as good as it gets for fried chicken that brings heat. The fries were well seasoned, crispy, and paired nicely with the Dave's Sauce. The hot spice level brought a good amount of heat that didn't overpower the flavor. Very crispy, juicy and fresh from the fryer. The pickles on the side also were a nice addition to the chicken. Super crowded, luckily was able to find a seat as someone was just leaving but the wait time is relatively low even on a busy evening.
Business response:
Appreciate the love, Vincent! Sounds like you got the full experience—crispy, juicy chicken with just the right heat. Glad you found a seat in the crowd, and hope to see you back for another round soon!
THISSS!!! This place surprised me. I've heard of this place before, but never been. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken sandwich was just a tender in a bun, but it melted in your mouth and had unbelievable flavor. I got both mild and lite mild. The lite mild to me did not have any mild flavor to me. The guy at the front register was super friendly, sweet, and patient. The inside is super cute, but small so limited seating. I will definitely be back.
Business response:
Love that we surprised you, Jimaye! The sliders melting in your mouth is what we aim for. Appreciate the spice level feedback too—hope to welcome you back for another round!
A personal favorite of mine. Dave's hot chicken. My item of choice. Combo 2, which is the 2 slider meal with fries. I do go with the hot level for chicken. There are 2 more levels above hot ( extra hot and atomic/reaper). This last visit was pretty good. Food was on point. It was quite busy when we went, but the food was prepared fairly quickly. They do have a reward program to accrue points, which can later be redeemed for menu items etc.
