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.

It’s just sad when you see your favorite restaurant like that. I’m grateful that it wasn’t my first location otherwise they would not have earned my business. Starting with the pile of trash at the entrance which is definitely disgusting, unhealthy and unwelcoming to customers. From the moment I entered to the moment I left, no one bothered to take care of it . Not to mention the size of the chicken tenders which absolutely does not match what they charge for. I know they don’t come the exact size but at least make for the d... read more

Dave makes a great product their chicken is juicy delicious and whatever level of spice you can handle. And the cheese you get .... You have to ask for it. It goes amazing with the chicken. The double chicken tender meal is the best. A great place. Like it a lot. Can't wait to go back to that location.

Gerson is awesome!! Best Customer Service Ever – Thanks to Gerson! I had an amazing experience here thanks to Gerson! From the moment I walked in, he greeted me with such professionalism and enthusiasm that I honestly thought he was the manager. He’s incredibly well-spoken, attentive, and seems to have everything running smoothly. His customer service is on another level—he made my visit feel personal and welcoming.
