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.

Food is always amazing at this location, never too dry and never too wet, the sauce is out of this world and with the chicken is the perfect combo. was greeted with a happy smile from the cashier at the front counter and ordering was easy, great service. the lobby is covered in a super cool graffiti look but not ghetto graffiti, just a cool look with some light different colored lights but you can see great with the lights above. food comes super quick! 

Business response:

LOL We're glad you think that we dont have "ghetto graffiti" and that you loved our food! We hope that you come back again soon!

The chicken is fresh and nice. It's a clean kind of fast food. The menu is very limited wish they add more to it. Service is quick. Ambiance is casual and friendly. Cool place to get a quick bite .

Fries were very good. Chicken was ok. I asked if I could try a sauce before I ordered so I would know how hot to get, but they said no. The worst part - the bill. Way too expensive for what you get and for how you get it. And I hate the "tip" guilt they give you when you order (and have to get your own drinks, get your own food, and bus your table). 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to make this right. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie
