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.

Chicken is AMAZING! The best chicken sandwich I have very had. If I could eat this everyday I would. Great customer service and environment. Everything on the menu is flavorful. Fatima was our cashier and she was very nice.

Food truly was yummy, but waiting 25 minutes for 3 sliders and seeing how the place is ran by high school kids with no apparent supervision is insane. The employees were hanging out outside, vaping, shouting profanities to their friends in the parking lot.

Stopped by for a late snack and the chicken was delicious. If you're from California it's similar concept to Dave's, but slightly less appetizing. The fries are basic fries and nothing special. The atmosphere was very nice and it was clean. The service was good. I tried the sweet peach tea and it was good.
