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.

Great service! I can't stress that enough. The people who work here are so kind. The food is ok. Not amazing. And I'm not a huge fan of the space. But it's a fun place to visit from time to time.

This is one of the better hot chicken places in DMV. Very easy to order and the food comes out quickly. The only reason why it is not a 5 star is that the size of the chicken is inconsistent. Some days, it is a big piece and other times it is smaller. It also different sizes between a slider or tenders. I would say for regular person, the chicken is spicy enough at Hot level. I backed off to just medium. I like to enjoy my food. It is also nice to be able to eat outdoor at night with the weather warming up.

I want to start off by saying that this place is very affordable and the pricing is amazing for the size of the portions. They got so many great deals and combos. Personally, the taste was a little off for me. I felt like my chicken was heavily coated with spices. It tasted very powdery in my mouth. The fries were delicious though! The staff was quick and they were helpful when ordering and getting supplies. This location is a little small but they still have plenty of seating and everything was clean and organised.

5 stars as always. This store has never been a miss yet, only a hit. I always get hot fresh and tasty food when I order here. And the customer service is outstanding as well.

Perfect for an easy Friday night bite! As someone who doesn't have a high spicy tolerance the 'Mild' was perfect. My partner got 'Hot' and said it was very good. The sauce is amazing!! Also, the staff is very helpful if it's your first time they'll explain the spice levels to you. The food was fresh and the milkshake was very good. Will definitely come again!

This is a nice spot in the Tyson's area that exclusively offers "hot" chicken. The reason for the air quotes is because the dry rub and flavors aren't hot at all. We even ordered the spiciest option and that was probably the level 2 or 3 at most places that offer 5 levels of spicy. So just manage your expectations if you are looking hot and spicy. The chicken itself is freshly breaded and fried so every bite is extra crispy! Aside from that, the service is incredibly friendly and efficient. The entire ordering and receiving... read more
