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.

I can only speak for the take out but delicious. Their sauce is so good, the chicken is crispy and juicy. 10 piece no sauce (for the kids) and 10 piece spicy for me. My 6 year old who likes spicy really enjoyed the spicy with their sauce too! I will have to go back for their tenders, sandwiches, and a dine in experience. Overall a great experience! Clean inside, clean bathrooms.

TL;DR: Seriously delicious hot chicken. Will definitely repeat. Welcoming ambiance and clean floor space. New furniture. I really love hot chicken sandwiches and was looking forward to this location. The food is absolutely delicious, with perfectly seasoned and juicy chicken. The spice levels are on point, offering just the right amount of heat for those who love a good kick. The service was friendly. I would recommend this location to people who like hot fried chicken. I will be coming back for sure.

As a person who makes and eats chicken pretty much every day, this was GOOD chicken! I got the medium spice and next time I will definitely try SPICIER! It's was pretty busy when I went and food was hot and ready within 5 minutes. Fries were fresh and not soggy at all. The sauce though ‍ wowza - so good!! Meal a little on the pricier end, but for what you get not bad at all!

Stopped in at 4:30 on a Wednesday. No wait although there were a couple other patrons in the restaurant. The place looks new and clean with a spray paint motif throughout the establishment. The staff was prompt and accommodating. I had the Dave's #3 (one tender one slider with fries) with a spice level of "Hot". The order was ready in about five minutes. I did also order a fountain drink but it seemed that the ice machine was broken as there was no ice and a puddle of water on the ground. Not a problem for me but another p... read more

Well finally tried the new chicken place. Service was good, place was fairly clean, one table was noticeably dirty. Tried the chicken sliders and fries with cheese. Sliders were good( had medium) crispy, nice pickles and the meat tasted well done juicy and flavorful; good quality chicken thighs. Fries not good soggy, no crisp and cheese sauce just your average squirt cheese. You should offer different levels of spiced cheese sauce to match chicken. And I liked the unsweetened tea offered rather than soda.

Placed an online order 20 mins ahead but still waited for an additional 10mins. The chicken sandwich was superb and it's actually "HOT". Fries weren't that good but it's a chicken place so can't complain.

This location opened fairly recently and there was a lot of hype and even longer lines those first few weeks. We just avoided it until a night we drove by and saw there was finally no line snaking out of the front door. It was still pretty busy but the service was reasonably quick. The menu is fairly small with only a few choices and I actually didn't mind that because ordering is so much less confusing your first time there, lol. The two main choices are tenders or sliders, and there are a few sides (fries of course, and Ma... read more

Overall, I'm glad I tried this place finally. The food is definitely good, however you could probably find similar for way cheaper at Popeye's. We got the medium tender meal and medium slider meal. I can handle some heat but this barely had a kick. The sliders were our fav. Tenders were just okay. Fries were adequate but nothing to balk at. Mac and cheese was pretty good, kind of reminded me of stouffers from childhood. Would I come here again? Yes. Would I seek this place out and praise about it? No.
