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.

The other reviews are right about the chicken rub being a salt bomb. On the up side, even mild is spicy enough that you won’t notice the salt after a few bites. On the down side, the spiciness is all hot and no flavor. Don’t bother with the cheese. It’s just slices of American cheese. The buns and the fries probably came from the Safeway next door.

My brothers and I are from Nashville so this was our first visit and it was great. The workers were friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic and the service was awesome. The atmosphere was perfect and the bathrooms were really clean This is definitely a repeat worthy restaurant. 👍🏾👍🏾

Delicious. Portions are really big. And create spice level. Restaurant is clean and decorations are tasteful and thematic. The chicken was just the right level of spice. And has options ranging from mild to actually really spicy.

If you want a mouthful of salt with each bite of chicken, this is the place for you. I don't know what these people are thinking, but their medium-spiced chicken is completely inedible. I like salty foods, but this stuff is like eating pure seasoning, which is mostly salt with theirs. And to make matters worse, they overcooked the chicken, and the sliders barely had any coleslaw that might have provided some balance to the amount of salt. Fries were just ok, basically average. Wasted time, money, and trip to their store. Won... read more

The wide variety of combos make for a filling visit. "Extra Hot" on the menu is not too hot. Definitely oriented to a not-so-spicy inclined customer base. The shake was probably the best part of my visit. Smooth and sweet. Expected more of a saucy kind of hot chicken with the entree, but the kind served here is more of a dry rub kind of spice. Overall it was okay, probably just not for me.
