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.

I don't get the hype surrounding this place at all. It's Drake's chicken shop so I guess that's it. The food is gross and stomach ache worthy. The flavor of the seasoning is not even good. There's so much of this flavorless powder caked on and it is not good, dude. Crinkle cut fries? JAIL.There's way better fried chicken and chicken tenders at all the locally owned eateries.

Food tasted very ordinary. There is nothing special or amazing about this chicken. I could microwave frozen nuggets and fries that would taste better than this. The Mac n cheese tasted like body odor and smelled like the restaurant did inside. I would say that you should save your money and not get this chicken because it is not worth it at all. They also do not have ranch and their Dave's Hot Chicken sauce tastes like body odor as well. The smell of the restaurant and food lingers everywhere. Save your nostrils, taste buds,... read more

Visit the location for the first time in Wake Forest NC--the taste of divine chicken. But I ordered some French fries with melted cheese and they added a slice of American cheese. I wish he had informed me that he didn't have melted cheese. It was nasty and cold. 01-12-202 8:52 pm Ck21798

Please stop hyping food up that isn't good. Chicken is waaayyy over seasoned. We all go the medium spice. It's seasoned to the point where it's just dry seasoning that you taste.. Taste like I took a bite of a small piece of chicken with 2tbsp of dry seasoning. Is the chicken crispy, yes it is. But the dry mix isn't good.. The sauce that came with it is bland, the slaw is useless. The best thing was the pickles and fries. Way overhyped for nothing. Hate I brought the whole family to try it. Service was ok. Place was empty bu... read more
