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.

Fries: Actually seasoned! It is rare you get a fast food (or any place really) that actually seasons their fries. Win for me. Sliders: I got 2 sliders, a "hot" and "extra hot". Good flavors and juicy tenders. I enjoyed the kale slaw and the sauce works well. I have a very high spice tolerance so both of the sliders were not very spicy to me. They are hotter then your normal "spicy" offering at other similar places so if you think a jalapeño is spicy, be ready. I am excited to try the Reaper heat next time and I hope it l... read more

Delicious! I got the chicken strips in medium, with slaw instead of fries, and it comes with pickles and regular white bread. The strips was delicious, fresh and juicy! I made a mini sandwich with the tender and slaw, pickles and sauce and holy moly! Very good. The staff was great and friendly and the inside was clean but kinda empty. I wish more people came to visit! Maybe I just walked in during a downtime. Too bad I live too far away. I was only in the DC area because I had came back from a trip. Whenever I'm in the area ... read more

Great spot for good quality hot fried chicken. I had the hot slider with fries and I enjoyed all of it. The chicken was great, bun was a delicious potato roll type of bread, and the Cole slaw and pickles paired the heat level perfectly. The French fries were great, especially when dipped into the sauce. The dining area was very clean and everything was in order. I noticed the staff working non stop and their effort showed. I was very impressed overall and would highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area in the mood for... read more
