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.

10/10 so good! Only complaint is the medium isn't spicy at all! But other then that no complaints! You also get a free shake when download the app! Highly recommend!

As far as chicken sandwiches go the Reaper is probably my favorite fast food chicken sandwich. One slider with fries makes for a nice meal. Add a drink and a couple bucks for a tip and you have a $15 meal that hits the spot. Open until 1am on the weekends too.

Food was amazing! Chicken was very seasoned, and the sauce was great as well as the fries. They were very quick & efficient, especially considering how busy they were. The decor & inside is very cool, there's a lot to look at. Will definitely be back here again.

To be honest the crinkle cut fries and Dave's special sauce was my highlight of the meal and I cringed when I saw they were crinkle cut fries, but they were on point! The slider and tender are both fairly good sized, but you pay for it, not a cheap fast food meal. If you l... read more

Order: Slider w/ 1 tender ad frys (medium) Pros: the food was decent but not amazing. The mild sauce isnt hot at all if you're trying to gauge the spice level. The manager was super nice. I ordered my food and paid. I asked if it came with a drink and she said no but she gave me a cup anyways and said it was on her! The decor inside is dope! I love graffiti! Cons: I'm not sure I understand the concept of the slider, and then the chicken tender on the side with a piece of bread. It doesnt make a lot of sense lol.
