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.

Overall great chicken I hate saying I like this place because it's that good not healthy but everyone that works there is happy so it's good vibes very friendly , the only thing is the hotter you go with the spice level you really don't enjoy the chicken I recommend medium and can I get a bandanna PLEASE I love the logo

Quick fix for your Nashville-style hot chicken, it's juicy and you get to pick your spice level! if you feeling like a dare devil or love your spice go for the reaper. Some advice, order the tenders instead of the sliders. They come with toasted bread, make your own sandwich out of it and cheaper by $2.

Super good !!! I've already been a few times now. The flavor on the chicken strip is a really good flavor & the sliders are a good size. I get the hot flavor and it's really good and not too hot if you like spicy things.

Fast food joint specializing in chicken strips. I really like this place and if I am being honest if they had Texas toast I would prefer them over canes. Even the medium spicy chicken sliders is very seasoned. (I got one hot and one medium). The sauce and the slaw on the sliders were a perfect compliment and the bun was very soft. The one thing I really didn't like was the mac n cheese. That sauce was very liquidy. Over all a good visit

Pretty good! Friendly service, clean restaurant. Food was okay. Chicken could have been crispier, fries are good. Garlic toast was on regular white bread, could be much better! I loved the pickles.

Food was quite tasty. Large tenders and sliders. Fries crispy and nicely flavored. Service was great. Eric assisted with the order and he provided suggestions and welcomed questions, he recommended to put honey on the chicken- very good! Super fast service and food was hot! Ambiance was calm as it was not too busy. It was super clean in the store. Recommend this place to anyone who loves fried chicken! Thanks Eric! Great service and very professional!

I've ordered from this restaurant through doordash and wow, it was sooo good! Even after delivering to another person first, the chicken was still crispy! I got the deal with the two chicken sandwiches. I ate one and felt extremely full so it was nice to have a second one for my lunch the next day! If you haven't tried this place yet, please give it a try! I have no idea where it is, but it is available on door dash for your convenience :)

It was our 1st time visiting, and I was impressed with our food selections, plus the variety of flavors. Great and Friendly Staff.. Clean Tables, I'd go back again. I wish I paid attention to the name of the young man who assisted us. He really seemed like he enjoyed working there, something you don't get a lot of places.. 

Business response:

Wow! Reaper?!?! What a brave soul!! We're glad you guys loved it, thank you for the support!
