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.

Extra hot is definitely a spicy heat. Fries are crispy which I love but are heavily salted. The only disappointment was the sandwich was very light in the slaw. I didn't think there was any at all.

The restaurant was clean. Walls had fun, colorful graffiti art. Outdoor seating was available. Nicholas really brought his A game and was friendly and helpful in regards to any questions that the customers had. Of the 2 sliders I got, the chicken in one of them was a bit on the small side, but this was made up for by the ENORMOUS piece of chicken in the other slider. The bigger piece of chicken was thick, moist, hot, and in general pretty delicious. The spice does have a strong taste of sodium, but perhaps that's to be exp... read more

Ok...I already came back. I still think this is the best fried chicken strip in Visalia. I did kick it up a notch and got Hot. While I think medium will be fine for most people, Hot should be a good level for people that can take a little heat and not sensitive to spice. I'm not a chili head by any means, and I'd consider myself just above average when it comes to spice tolerance, and Hot was as high as Id ever go. After 1 strip I was looking for some water, and after 2 strips my lips just started to burn and that's when... read more

First time we visited in Visalia, Louie was friendly and great at asking us what we needed. The chicken was so good!! It has a chill ambiance and was pretty busy when we came, but the food came out quick. :)

The chicken didn't have the best taste and the sauce only helped a little. Wait time is obviously crazy. Much prefer angry chickz

I'll start off and saying this is my personal opinion. The service was good. Fast service, great accuracy of order taken, fresh food, fast at getting my food. Now for my opinion. The flavor for me was not that great. The sauce is good. That Mac a cheese is ok nothing crazy just your regular Mac and cheese. The heat was good. Did not like the slaw or the pickles. They kinda killed the sandwich for me. Did not eat all my food. Left me with a long lasting burping effect. So over all I will give them 3 stars nothing to talk down... read more
