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.

The chicken is overly seasoned, but moist and juicy. It's good to try the first time, but to keep going back to it is nothing special.

I was in the area after my yoga class and was looking for something to eat. Lo and behold, I found this place. I must have entered about 11:30am, so it wasn't crowded. Barry was the counter person. He greeted me as soon as I walked in. He was very pleasant and professional. He was honest about the level of hotness/ heat levels. Very polite and made all customers feel welcomed without being phony. The place is very clean and a good amount of seating. I ordered take out. I had the two tenders and it comes with one side, th... read more

Fine for what it is. The hot chicken is spicy for sure. But real Nashville hot chicken isn't as oily as it is here. Other than that, the food tastes good. But it's also pretty expensive.

For someone who doesn't like hot sauce anything, coleslaw AND really spicy food, this place is pretty damn good. We've tried this place twice, and have had nothing but great things to say. First time was in store when we were eating our way through DT Brooklyn and second time was an online order from the Bay Ridge restaurant, where it's much closer to us. We drove by this location accidentally the day before and my husband was really excited that we don't have to drive further out for some hot chicken. I didn't go inside the... read more

Food is good but come on now, so stingy on the fries. :( Maybe it depends on the person who preps the food.....because the first time when I went, the food was hot (in temperature) and the fries were well and evenly seasoned and there was a good amount of it. I'm a bit disappointed this time.

Holy crap if you like spicy...this is a good option! Delivery was super fast. I chose the hot option for my sliders....and WOW! I can't even imagine what the hotter options are! I have a pretty high tolerance to spicy and my eyes are tearing! I am very pleased and will DEFINITELY order again!

I got the #3 1 tender + 1 slider with fries combo and really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the "hot" spiciness level and found it to be the perfect amount of heat. The bun, pickles, and Dave's sauce complimented the juicy chicken so well in the slider but the slaw was just meh. The tender was ok...probably would skip it next time and just get the slider. Fries were very well seasoned and tasty. My order was ready at the estimated pickup time and the cashier was very friendly. Tables were clean and the walls are very colorfully ... read more
