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.

Kids loved the food. Fast service. I personally was not that excited. I think they are much better chicken sandwiches out there. It is really crispy checken which is great. I really like spicy food but the there is something with the spice they use which does not appeal to my taste (maybe is only me but it feels very little flavor and just brute force spice).

Make no mistake about this place, it's spicy as all heck. The fries have chili powder on them, the aioli is spiced and of course so is the chicken. I'm weak when it comes to spicy so I opted for a step above mild. I was hurting for two days. The chicken was heavenly with moist white breast meat with just a light breading . I appreciated everything was made to order fresh. The fries were so hot and fresh which kept drawing me into their heat which I regretted. (I never was able to finish those). I loved the sandwiches and... read more

One of my favorite chicken places I was happy to hear they opened this new one, I get the 2 slider combo and was skeptic of it being only 2 tenders, but it definitely was filling. I tried cheese on it this time and didn't care for it, seems like they don't melt it at all. Best spice level is hot for sure unless you really want the kick of extra hot. Not a fan of coleslaw nor pickles usually but I love it on this sandwich. And you HAVE to get the honey packets on the side, makes the sandwich.

A little pricey for what you get, but the chicken has a nice flavor. Definitely better than Chickz. The service was top notch! Very friendly. It didn't take too long to get our food. We'll definitely be back, but on a "splurge" day. I had them add cheese sauce to my fries, but it could've used a little more. I ordered the "medium" to my order for level of heat. For those of you that are not a huge heat person, medium will be your top step. Medium had a good taste/heat balance, but if you want more heat, take it up a notch.

Can't say enough good things about this place! I usually order through the app (to earn rewards) and pick up my food to-go. It's always ready when it says it's going to be ready and accurate every time. Every single staff member I've interacted with is super courteous and helpful. I always order my chicken super hot--it's a good amount of heat and yummy flavor. The reaper level of spice is just heat, no flavor. Don't recommend. Food is amazing, love the pillowy buns and the crispy, flavorful chicken. I get a side of cheese... read more
