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.

Not good.. you may as well just go to canes. Not thay canes is any better but at leas5 they have a decent bread. DRY chicken NO FLAVOR. The bread is so plain. The fries suck. The slider is just as bad. Save your money and time.

Never been there so ordered #1 Hot. Too salty both the chicken and the fries. Nice to have the pickles though.

Worst manager ever. I didn't get her name but when I got to my car I realized she didn't put napkins in the bag. When I went back the door was locked and they wouldn't let me in. The last customer came out so I went in and grabbed my napkins. I asked for a honey packet and she refused to give me one because they just closed a minute ago. Worst customer service ever. Good thing it didn't happen to Michael Douglas.

The young girl at the counter has poor customer service, the tenders are big but there's nothing special about them, they give you more pickles than anything, not impressed

Great foods, mild spicy is not hot and medium is too spicy but taste good. They need a better service. Tables were not clean.

I decided to try this place. I was disappointed. I got the mild strips and fries. It's was hot and fresh but doused in too much flavorless spices. Disappointed.... I only ate a small piece of the chicken wasted my money.

Great flavor, juicy chicken, and enough salt to kill a man. The chicken was SO salty when I went a few weeks ago I wasn't able to finish it. It is the most ridiculously over salted food I'd ever had in a restaurant. Cashier was disinterested and unfriendly. Definitely my one and only visit to this location.

I like Canes Chicken better. The prices are better with options for a kids meal for kids and adults who want a smaller portion. Also has a Drive-Through

The food is great, but I want to say the staff could be better. You're stared down by the cashier if you don't leave a tip and it seems like orders are incomplete if we refuse to do so. When asked to fix, I get attitude by the people at the front.
