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.

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 :)

Really solid hot chicken. The flavor and juiciness of the tenders are on par with Hattie B's in Nashville. I see people complaining about the price for 2 tenders, the two tenders I had were about the size of what you think 3-4 tenders would be. I was very happy with value and everything about my experience.

I ordered on uber eats and it came surprisingly fast. The order was picked up within 15-20 minutes. I hear a lot about the wait times here so maybe order to-go. It also came perfectly in tact in the box and was still warm. I was really happy with the overall order. I have already tried Dave's in Vegas and was always a fan. The chicken is super thick, juicy, and flavorful and the sliders are so satisfying and big. I always make the mistake of getting 2 sliders when 1 is more than enough. The Daves sauce is also really good w... read more

I was in the area one day and I've been patiently waiting on this place to open up. I ordered online prior to it opening and was there to pick up a little after opening time. The service was fast and friendly, I was greeted and told where to go to pick up my order. It was a quick and easy process. It's the actual food as to where I had to take off stars. I ordered the mild and the medium chicken to try both. The mild chicken had no flavor at all. It was very bland. The next level had a little bit of flavor but... read more

The place was very busy. We went in on a Friday at lunchtime. The line was moving fast for orders, and the food didn't take long. The people taking our orders were very nice and helped us order the best for the experience. The person calling the number tickets did mix up our orders, but it was ok be we noticed at the table. I got the medium spice level, and I could have gone hotter. It had a sweet after taste and was not hot enough for me. The Mac was normal Mac. Noting to scream about. The fries were good, and the cheese... read more

AOK I got there at 4 PM hoping to avoid the rush but it was still pretty darn busy. There is one cashier who is working hard-she's apparently in charge of making the shakes as well. I think they could use one more person upfront. There's another young lady who's in charge of making sure everybody gets what's been ordered plus handing out orders that are online and third-party. There seems to be plenty of cooks in the kitchen, and everybody was hustling. I think there was a manager, but he was also helping with food. The are... read more
