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.

If you like Chic-Fil- A. You will love this place. The food was made to perfection. I don't know if it's just that crew or time of the night. Heck at this time of the night most restaurants are in a IDC mode. Not here. Everything was well seasoned. Sauce was all over the chicken. It had all the sauces in the bag, didn't have to ask for anything. This was a great experience. I actually chose them over Buffalo Wild Wings. I will be back. Gotta make sure it wasn't a fluke.

The staff at this location were very friendly and the food was served hot and fast. Unfortunately, the flavor was not as prominent as I expected it would be. I added honey to my order and that did make it taste better. I ordered mild sliders, but would try another flavor if I go back. The location was lively and the decorations on the walls were nice.

I have heard a a lot of mixed reviews about this one, but I had to try it for myself! Keyword! ALLWAYS TRY FOR YOURSELF! It was really good. I didn't know what to expect at first. Was the tender dipped in a hot sauce or served on the side? I started with a mild strip and it came with a mild dry seasoning and it was perfect. I love the sauce for dipping, fries were hot and cooked to order. The Strip was served with pickles that were really good and a slice of bread. A little pricey but over all it was really good. I'll be ba... read more

Counter service was excellent. The hostess knew the menu perfectly and could advise that the "hot" was truly "hot" and not for someone who doesn't like their tonsils burned! Settled for a slider med and tenders hot. Enough for two people for sure!! Portion size more more than you can imagine!! Very happy for the price!! Ok the chicken. Tenders or breast fillet on the sliders. Both very large. Nashville chicken I have had was bone in dipped in a sauce no powder. These seemed like some sauce with lots of powder to se... read more

The three people working tonight were some of the friendliest, kindest customer service people I have met in a VERY LONG TIME. They were all polite, quick, and friendly. Food was great and there was very little wait time. My friend and I dropped in after having a long week of training and it was the best first meal to have coming out of it. 

Business response:

Looks delicious! Thank you for the photo and the awesome review!

Was hopeful when I saw a dedicated Nashville hot chicken place. Guess I only have the real places in Nashville to compare to but food is just OK, ambiance is totally chain generic.

Great service, food was amazing. The menu isnt over powering which makes ordering easy. The enviroment is nice with a diner/rock and roll theme. Dave 's Chicken Sliders are amazing. A buffalo style sauce for the side would give the establishment 5-stars
