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.

Ordered a sandwich online and received one of the saddest look sandwiches I've ever seen. The absolute bare minimum of cole slaw, which added to the dryness of the sandwich. Don't plan on ordering from here again.
Delivery quality has gone wayyyyy down. Ordered on Doordash, got my usual (#2, medium spicy) and two bites in I realize there's the tiniest amount of slaw on the sandwich and there's no sauce. This amount of slaw is laughable. It was like this on both sandwiches. Also, paying $1 for "Xtra pickles" and getting 3 pickle chips is silly. Don't bother. To top it all off, the spice level is inconsistent. Bummer bc this place used to be decent.
I could see my order on top of the pass through. Two employees looked at it. Did anyone call out my number for several minutes? NO. I had to go to the counter and ask for my food, ffs. Last time coming here.
Dude chicken 9/10 ! I really was hoping that when I ordered the hot chicken and cheese fries I would have gotten a good amount of cheese, you know ? Why they skimp me out on the cheeeesssee WHERES THE CHEESE
We visited the new location in El Cerrito. We tried almost everything on the menu and walked away only liking the fries. I wish that they would've put another chicken chain here instead of Dave's.
Chicken was not spicy at all. More of a paprika heat than a real spice. Also don't like the all white chicken tenders. World famous Hotboys is way ahead of this place!
I will not return. The service was great! People were friendly. The restaurant was clean. It was 70 degrees outside and 90 degrees inside. No air conditioning, only portable evaporative cooling that was not turned on. The food was edible. Would I go back? No!
poor value. i've ordered a few times between this location and san leandro. i've tried the tenders by themselves and the sandwich. the chicken is usually low quality, especially compared to competitors cane's and chick-fil-a. i could only take one bite of my sandwich during my last visit because it was so rubbery. paid $4 for cold fries with no seasoning. chicken tenders are huge, though - i'll give them that. the seasoning they use on the tenders doesn't have much depth or complexity - it's just heat. at this pr... read more
These people took over 35 minutes to get my one slider with fries. They were super rude and aggressive towards me
