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.

Overall it was tasty but the price is high in my opinion. I understand a different process is likely needed to make the cauliflower option, but to add $2 for two pieces of an ingredient that I'd imagine is cheaper than chicken is a little weird to me. If you do get chicken the portion size is pretty big, which I think makes the cost more understandable. I'm glad we tried it but I don't know if I'll be back.

The menu is basic here, you can choose from one of four combos with your level of heat. I ordered the Dave's #4 (1 slider with fries) with mild heat and my mom ordered the same combo but with medium heat and mac & cheese as her side and a strawberry milkshake. I thought that it was cooked well and that the portion was good but it's a basic chicken sandwich. I miss Mason Jar in this space.

Delicious! The tenders are "dinosaur tongues" they forgot my milkshake. I called the manager, and he said, "Come in whenever, and I'll replace it. the manager gladly remade me a while new meal and sent me with a shake. Sn, the hot is hot!

Pretty pricey if you ask me. My wife, son and I went in for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon (about 3). The restaurant was about half full at the time. We placed our order and received our food in under 10 minutes. $55 for 3 meals and 3 small drinks. Fries were hot and crispy, best part of the meal IMO. Chicken was ok. The Famous Dave's sauce was nothing special either. I'm a fan of dry rub but this missed the mark and for the money, we could've gone to BW 3's and had better along with a couple beers. Don't think I'll be... read more

I was a first timer and it was a great experience all the way around. It was mid afternoon so the lunch rush was behind us and the ordering was easy and the food was delivered quickly. The meal itself, the two slider combo, hot, with fries and a coke was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back for more and next time I might try a milkshake. The space is decorated well and there is outdoor seating. My only constructive criticism would be that the cleaning could be done more thoroughly.

Wanted to see what the hype was about . We ordered sandwiches and fries. Medium and hot. The chicken was cooked nicely. It was crispy on the exterior and moist on the inside. The spice level was good. Crinkle cut fries were average. Overall it was a good plate. A little on the higher end of price. Will go back and try a higher level of spice

Food was yummy and cooked fresh! Definitely pricier for fried chicken and fries - my husband and I both got the 1 slider 1 tender combo and shared a drink for $35, and we both agreed next time that we'll just share the two slider combo and maybe add one extra tender. Portions are quite big! We both got hot, and it was definitely hot!! Think we will do Medium next time. Overall we really enjoyed and will be back :)
