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.

Are you kidding? You're asking for tips at self checkout? So I do what you used to in order for you to employ less people...and essentially work at the restaurant and you ask for tips? For what? That's insane. I have an idea, pay livable wages, IE charge what you need to in order to do it, and stop asking the general gym chewing public to pay the wages of YOUR employees that's your responsability "Dave". Plus the food is mediocre at the very best. I only tried the "hot" level. It's barely hot and lacking in any flavor. Jus... read more

Your TV ads are so disgusting with slop all over the faces of the actors it would make me sick to eat any of the food you offer.

Got the loaded fries, chicken was good but the fries were so undercooked. Didn't end up eating the fries. The lady helping me was super nice though.

Poor customer service and poor quality food. I waited more than 30 minutes for cold food and when I told Ricardo M. he snarked back, "it's not my fault". Would suggest others to go to Chik Fil A for better quality chicken and customer service. Overall, bad experience: will not return.
