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.

Super yummy food, good atmosphere, and friendly customer service. Would recommend getting the blue powerade slushy - it was delicious! Wait time was like 10 minutes which was not long at all. Definitely will return.

I ordered the 10 piece chicken bites with fries and the fruit punch frozen drink. The chicken bites were really flavorful and juicy. Really good deal at $9.99. The frozen fruit punch is really sugary. Tastes good but just too much sugar. Overall pretty good place to grab a quick bite

Shout out to Isaac! He was so friendly, helpful and polite. You can tell he is a hard worker. Between taking orders he was making sure everything was clean and stocked. I have picky eaters so my order is kind of complicated but he got everything right. The food was great but he really made it a wonderful experience.

I've been here 3 times this week! Their chicken is soooo tender and the "hot" spice level is just perfection and they give u good amount of chicken unlike Raising Canes very little chicken tenders and overpriced sadly! I ordered #1 combo with two tenders and substitute kale slaw instead of fries and a drink. Their Mac & cheese as a side is sooo delish too per niece. Give them a try and you'll be hook like me! So delicious! I am so satisfied and I definitely recommend! Place is clean and the staff are very nice!
