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.

I really, really like this place. They have the absolute best French fries, their shakes are pretty good, and the chicken is wonderful. The portions are also massive. Their, "sliders" are just chicken sandwiches, there's absolutely nothing, "slider" about them. Their prices, at first glance, seem on the high side. However, I could easily have split their double slider meal with my wife, but we bought two orders, and couldn't come close to finishing them. But if I loved it, why is it missing a star? It's not particularly h... read more

So I've had Nashville hot chicken all over the country and I think Dave's absolutely nails it, especially considering the price point. I ordered the "number 1" - two chicken strips, fries, dipping sauce, white bread and pickles. I ordered the almost hottest style - extra hot - and it was delicious. I'll probably order the hottest level (reaper) next time just for fun. Everything was made to order. In just under 10 minutes, I had juicy and perfectly cooked chicken and fries. I'll be back!
Excellent chicken! If you like it hot, you'll be satisfied. The chicken quality is on par with Chick Fil A. I recommend reaper, "hot" wasn't that hot at all. They just opened and it was quite busy. I waited 40 minutes for just one sandwich. While I have no complaints about the flavor, I did not enjoy the complete mess that resulted from an oblong chicken on a round bun. It's very messy, grab lots of napkins. The cheese fries are just ok, the cheese is cheap tasting. Update: Holy hell reaper is very spicy! I think extra h... read more

Heard a few things about this place since it was a chain but didn't expect Portsmouth of all places to get one. I heard from some sources that today (April 7th) was the grand opening but they have opened yesterday. I ordered #3 which was the tender, a slider, and fries with sauce and pickles. Cheese costs extra. I got the "Hot" flavor and it was very tolerable with the sauce. The name slider is deceptive because it's basically a chicken sandwich. I paid $13 which is expected nowadays when eating out. I loved my meal and the ... read more
