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.

Ahhhh! I will certainly return again. I ordered food online, i did request condiments and utensils which were not included. When i arrived the food was ready to go. The restaurant wasn't too busy, it has plenty of tables for eating in, and the space is nice and open. The staff were cleaning tables (which is nice to see). My mild chicken slider on extra soft potato bread. The chicken was well seasoned, juicy and had a nice crust. Fries were cooked and seasoned well. Special sauce on the side was a nice addition.

All things considered, this was definitely a 5 star sandwich for me. The place was surprisingly busy at 3pm on a Saturday, especially for Albany. I did like that the decor had some Albany-themed decor too. My friend and I were brought here because of their app download promotion. Within a certain timeframe, if you downloaded it they would give you a free slider when you order ahead. I thought the slider would be pretty small because of the name, but I'm happy with how much it filled me. You get to choose from 5 of 6 differ... read more

I really enjoyed the chicken. I ordered an extra hot and a reaper slider. I realize everyone has a different spice threshold but I didn't think the reaper slider was worthy of having to sign a waiver. I'll definitely be returning though.

Very tender chicken and a good size piece for the slider. I only needed one for lunch. The slider is also served with slaw and pickle. I ordered the double sliders to share that comes with crinkly fries. For $14, this is a great deal. In my opinion, there was too much cumin. It was a bit overpowering. I did order the the mild. I can't do spicy anymore, so I can't speak for the rest of the spice levels. The staff was very nice and the order came out fast. The decor of the space is really modern and spacious. I also appreciate... read more

Best chicken sandwich/tenders (whole breast meat) customized to your heat level, you'll find. Service a bit slow, but you can order ahead. Must try the dipping sauce. Chicken with or without a roll are your choices, except for a few sides.
