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.

Way too expensive for me. Looks smells taste good, but the servings are too small, where I would have to buy two items just for myself.
Obvi I didn't think I was going to have the experience of the girl on the ads saying it was the best thing she'd had in her life (tf?!)...but I wanted to give the Cauli Slider with Fries a try. There's not a lot to recommend : I ordered mild to be cautious on spice level and it wasn't so much as it was -still- quite spicy, but it didn't taste good. It was covered in this spice powder so that it over powered the sando and all you could taste was the powdery spice. The powder also gave me cotton mouth, I was sooooo thirsty ch... read more
Hot garbage. There's other spots spanking Dave's in every way. If you're going here and not to the local spots you're a buster.
You don't have to sell me on hot chicken. I first tried it at Hattie B.'s in Nashville where hot chicken started and liked it a lot (review: https://yelp.to/C7-LPOnXAh). There are at least three spots in Downtown Oakland - Hotbird and World Famous Hotboys are the others we've tried - though this is the only one that's part of a local chain. Jamie W and I had been wanting to try it for a while, so we stopped by after a walk around Lake Merritt. It was fairly busy, but we managed to snag a table once we ordered. Jamie didn't ... read more
Homeless man sitting in there followed me back to the car and forced to give the food away. It was scary and couldn't even enjoy the food.
Why would you go here when World Famous Hot Boys is also in Oakland! This place was not good at all. Such a waste of money!! The chicken was fried to death with such a thick crust on the outside. My brother got the reaper chicken and had to sign a wavier in order to eat it. That was 100% a gimmick. I don't like hot hot food and that was trash. I would NEVER waste money here again. The only one dipping sauce they have is regular thousand island dressing they mopped the floors while we're were sitting there eating and they ha... read more
I went to the Union City location on a weed end evening. The service was SOOO SLOW. It was more than 30 minutes from the time you walked to the counter to place an order to the time you receive the food. The food (fries, chicken strips and cauliflowers) was salty. They don't provide free water. You have to buy an empty cup and then can request water. will never go back.
My only reason for a lesser rating is because i dont like businesses that dont accept cash. Dont support businesses that dont accept cash. Its not right.
ass location cause they made me pay for a water cup but it's ight if not that was the case
