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.

Ordered the two piece tender set. I really enjoyed the fries, they were crispy and flavorful. I also really loved the thick cut pickles. The chicken however was just not my favorite. The chicken was juicy and tender but the sauce was not my favorite. The dry rub on the chicken was a little too overpowering but not spicy or flavorful. It was a little too grainy in my opinion. I enjoyed the dipping sauce that came with it though.

Solid place with juicy fried chicken!! Service is fast. Awesome location and love the indoor/outdoor window. The chicken is definitely the star here. I think medium spice is not spicy enough but the level above is too spicy The milkshakes are too sweet, so I would stay clear of that. Mac and cheese also is using fake cheese.

Food (5/5): I would recommend the sliders over their tenders. The bun, sauce, pickles, cheese (extra), and slaw take the chicken up a notch. Chicken was juicy and fries were well seasoned. Their dry rub doesn't have much flavor other than spice. The Mac n Cheese was just okay so i'd skip that. Service (5/5): The workers were super helpful and knowledgeable with the spice levels! A worker told me that their "medium is a little less spicier than hot cheetos." He was right!! Ambiance (5/5): Chill place in Cap Hill with reall... read more

Ambience. B Service. B Food. A Price. A Found in heart of Capitol Hill and found on corner of Pike and 12th. Came in very busy crowded Saturday June night. Filled with young peeps... VERY BUSY on weekend nights. Order at counter and they give a buzzer to pickup food. Cooked to order. Didn't think counter service was all that helpful. Wanted sauce inside but wouldn't oblige. Menu is straightforward. Chicken/ fries/ sides and drinks. I might try on an afternoon when not so crowded. I don't like sauce making my batte... read more

First timers! We were brave/stupid to try the hot and extra hot, but only after plain, mild, and medium. It was busy but we didn't wait that long. Kinda pricey but it was pretty good, especially with honey AND Dave's sauce ... the only turn off I had was all the flies inside the restaurant - I know it's semi outdoor but maybe window/door blowers could help keep them out.

They got the SPICY CHICKEN game on lock nobody is competing with them food is bomb , Mac and cheese is okay not the best but I'm here for the chicken it is 10/10 you won't be disappointed, they are always super busy packed just due to everyone trying to get their hands on a sandwich/tenders! Definitely recommend this place
