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.

I've been driving by this place for months now while they were doing the build up for it, and I absolutely could not wait to try it and today was the day. Made it real simple and easy with my order. I got the two slider combo one reaper and one extra hot be warned though they will literally make you sign a waiver for the reaper "I thought they were just kidding". Yes it's hot but it's very enjoyable and so is the extra hot. I really really enjoyed my meal today and I cannot wait to go back again, anybody that leaves a misera... read more

Glad this place is finally open. I dont know why it has harsh reviews. The restaurant is very clean, and the staff very friendly with your order ready in no time. I ordered spice level Hot and it was just that. The chicken had good flavor and was moist. I could not find anything negative to say about this place. I will definitely be returning. BTW the food in my picture was destroyed in a matter of minutes

First time to this chain ever. For sure there was a high expectation on the flavor. I luv that this store is new. I must admit I researched a little history on the chain. Creators are Armenian. So I expected Sumac and paprika ( hence the red color) not sure it's my guess. Review- It's super clean. Staff is hard working and friendly. Outside has lots of tables. But yes there is traffic right by the restaurant. So loud outside. But hey your there to eat, right? My order- One chicken slider w/ extra kale slaw and extra pic... read more

The chicken was very tender and delicious. I got Hot and honestly I can handle a good amount of spicy food but it was a little brutal, so I'm surprised to see people here saying it wasn't spicy haha. Fries were great too! The speed was very quick, was impressed considering how slow the one in Menifee was. My only complaint is the bread in the combo is just that, just a slice of bread. Would've liked a little pizzazz on it or something. Overall enjoyed it and will be frequenting.

New restaurant to town, I've had this before and was excited for it to come to Temecula. The chicken was fresh and had decent flavor. Chicken was juicy and good breading. The hot seasoning isn't too spicy like I remember it being at other locations? I know they are working things out as it has only been a week I believe since they've opened but some suggestions for management. I wish the employee were wearing a name tag maybe they were but it wasn't visible but she seemed inconvenienced when I asked for an extra basket a... read more

This is the best hot chicken spot in town. The quality and service is second to none. Great location with lots of parking. I was greeted by the owner Adam who provided a warm welcome to my family and I. Definitely a strong pride in ownership. I was able to pickup a very large order in less than 15 minutes even though they were jam-packed. Apparently the word is out about the tasty chicken spot. PSA: the reaper is worth the pain.
