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.

Been here a couple of times and the food is good and consistent. It's never overcrowded and the food is ready fairly quick. I was going to go for the reaper level hot but they wanted me to sign a waiver so I passed. I think I will go for it next time. I usually get the two sliders and fries. The pickles are always crisp and fresh. Good food and service all the way around.

I mean it was ok so more 3.5 than 4. Chicken was good but decent size with small piece of bread all for a pretty penny. People like this place so maybe I'll try it again? We'll see...not a great review, sorry not sorry -ant

Okay so BOOM! This place snuck up on me in the best way! My family and I were in the plaza and couldn't decide on what to eat and I remembered this new place had just opened up not too long ago! We pulled up and checked it out on yelp first! IYKYK lol Once we decided it was worth the try, my husband went in to order. What started as a to-go order turned into a dine-in, and I'm happy it did! The restaurant is so vibrant, CLEAN and inviting! The staff was professional, kind and extremely helpful with recommendations and ... read more

5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!
First time here. Service was quick and ordered take out. Got the hot chicken sandwich and it was delicious. Not much veggies but the bun was fluffy and the chicken was super crispy. Spice level isn't that spicy but will order again. The strawberry milkshake was creamy and thick so had to use a spoon, very tasty.

Just wanted to leave on here to say late night pick up here are the best I've ever experience. I've always been hesitant to order late and pick it up because they would always have me waiting or my order is wrong. But here that wasn't the case. The front desk guys have the best vibes and cool attitude and it took me lest than 3 minutes to pick up my order. Thank you guys
