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.

Approved! Always I have had a thing for chicken sandwiches and this is my expertise. Sando: "Flavor-flavor" My medium-level sandwich had a ton of flavors with a little bit of kick that didn't upset my stomach. I'd not say the meat was juicy but it was well-seasoned. The pickles added a layer of textures: it's not sweet or sour but compliments the whole package. The potato bun made it complete! Fries: "Say yes to cheese." I read a ton of reviews before the visit and as suggested ordered cheese fries instead of regular f... read more

Damn I know this is a chain but they do such an amazing and efficient job at their food. I got the #3 medium. I would say it's a small notch below a chic fill a spicy chicken sandwich. Slider was delicious, the kale slaw has enough vinegar to balance out the crispy chicken in the sandwich. Tender was also awesome. I think it was thigh meat which to me is a bonus point. Fries crispy even on a to go order. Haven't had a milkshake but they looked well made. Staff there was organized like a fine dining restaurant with or... read more

I tried this place today, it's grand opening day. The inside is very big, bright, and an entire vibe. It's inside an old theater so it gives a new and old feeling. There was a line when I got there, but it went by pretty fast. The service was great and they got my order right. I ordered Dave # 3, lite mild and it was really good. I also got their Mac and cheese, which wasn't my favorite. Their fries were delicious and Dave's sauce was good. For being it's first day officially open, I was shocked by the organization, the qual... read more

Checked this place out on opening day. My friend who lived in LA recommended this place as one of his favorites. It lived up to hype. It was very lively inside and are welcoming. Since its new the managers ask if you need help with menu. There are 4 combo options of combinations of chicken sandwiches and tenders. I got the one with two sandwiches and fries. Once you order they will ask if you want sauce and cheese on your sandwiches and fries. I got it on all of them. The. You wait to have your number called. Once your nu... read more

Amazing addition to the DC restaurant scene. Simple menu featuring fresh and delicious chicken slider sandwiches and tenders. Sliders delivered on tasty rolls with kale-slaw, pickles and the flavorful Dave's sauce. Creamy Mac 'n cheese, crispy fries (with spice and/or cheese) and mind-blowing shakes round out the offerings. The large chicken breasts are spiced-to-order, with a variety of "heat levels" from no spice, up to the "Reaper" spice. Reaper requires a signed waiver! You can't go wrong and with the hearty portion siz... read more
