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.

Isaac is very helpful he is very courteous and is great with customer service . The food is amazing, I see reviews about how the tenders aren't spicy. Just order a hotter flavor

Saw the mamah video on YouTube and we knew we had to try it! We came in not expecting much, but man were we wrong! Alexis was super helpful! From the moment we walked in she greeted us with a smile. She didn't rush us when we looked at the menu and when we were ready she took our order. She was super kind when I asked her to repeat what she said since she explained the details rather quickly and you could tell she really cared about her job. We decided to sit inside since it was a little cool outside. They had 60s music play... read more

I've been wanting to try this place bc I've seen it so hyped up on IG. I'm not sure it lived up to the hype. It was good but not sure I would go back. I don't normally eat meat but made an exception bc I love fried chicken. I wish they had the cauliflower at this location. I would definitely come back to try that. I got the sandwich and the fries. I do love the Dave's sauce and the money bite is with the sauce and honey. Fries were pretty good and well seasoned.

First time coming here and I was shocked! I literally was in heaven eating away. Everything has flavor and was juicy! I love spicy chicken sandwiches. Overall this place did not disappoint me and I will make this my favorite restaurant.
