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've been to a couple locations before but this was my first time at this location and I had the best experience here. First off the food was amazing (it always is) and also Nick M was working the register today and he's got the best attitude in the world. The guy has a contagious attitude that is filled with joy and he will for sure be able to turn anyones bad day around (he did for me). I saw everyone he served leave with a smile! Please give this man a raise ASAP or better give home his own location because if you had thi... read more

The foods and customer service is just OK. Long wait times. The food was soggy. I don't think I will be going back to this place, again. People say it is good, but, not so good., just OK.

Let me start by saying... YOUZA!!!! I am not a spicy food individual, however since they offer mild, to the hottest, I tried the cauliflower sandwich (mild). Freakin delicious!!! Fried to perfection, the fries are crispy and the pickles add a certain touch that only your pallet can appreciate. The service was great, we were greeted with smiles and good energy. They haven't been open a year yet, and it still smells of construction work, if that makes sense. In any case, it is so good. Try it, if you haven't. Going back to tr... read more

I am not the biggest fan of hot chicken, but Dave's changed my mind. I enjoyed absolutely every bite of the slider and tender combo. We ordered the "hot" level, which was pretty spicy. It came with French fries toast and some real delicious pickles. The service was great, the ladies working the register were very nice and attentive. We did have our food to dine in, though there's limited seating to eat there, I do see construction going on to expand the seating area.

Amazing. I loved it. This was my first time trying this place out. The food was amazing. I got the 2 sliders very very hot and it did not disappoint. The service was good the young lady on the register was very helpful. This Torrance location was packed. People came in and came out. I wish they had one of this in Temecula. You guys would kill it out here.
