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 don't know what happened with the mac and cheese today. Was super bummed that it tasted and looked watery... I had ordered doordash from them about a week and a half ago and the mac and cheese was just how I remembered it. It was super crowded on a Saturday night and unfortunately, I saw a customer break the ice machine lever... could still use it but it just looked like a mess in there. Maybe like 30 people in that small indoor space, waiting for food. I would maybe order doordash again or just order at their other loc... read more
They are always late for pickup orders . And very rude when asked how long. My online order was supposed to be ready at 7:54 PM tonight. I went there at 8:00 PM. The guy ( with yellow earring) working there was rude when I asked how long will the order take ? He replied "I'm too busy to check !". I finally received the order and box had time stamped 7:44PM. I think he deliberately delayed the order.
overpriced food for the quality, lack of flavor even on the "hot" options, dry chicken, poor service, overly spicy to the point of being unpleasant, and a lack of spice level variety beyond just extreme heat; with some mentioning the bathroom being unavailable or poorly maintained as well.
Hi, I ordered food yesterday, it was straight forward order and not too hard to make, but when I picked up my order it was old and cold!!!!So I was stuck with it because i thought maybe because it's a take out, the temperature doesn't have to be high or something because maybe they figured out I was going home and will heated up, but it's not just that it was old too." I knew now why it was made so so fast", even though the guy in the front was polite; not sure what heck is going on!!!can you explain!
I'm writing this review before I even have my food because as it stands I'm at 15 mins for my Togo order. Along with probably 25 other people. There's more people stuffed in this tiny restaurant than a sardine can. The lady behind the counter looks stressed but also is being very rude at the same time which leaves me less than sympathetic for the situation. After finding my own space to stand by the ice machine I had to snap a pic of how they leave their machines, hopefully the food will be good after all this.
Had to wait forever for my food, then when I got it my food was cold.. maybe food would be good if it was hot
people who work here are idiots. 3rd time they got my name and order wrong by switching it with someone else after ordering online with my name clear on my email and on my reciept. hire someone who can hear or knows english. do not go here they are slow and worse than the dmv. if i could do less than 1 star i would've save your time and money this place is a clown show.
Let me preface this review with the fact that I have only experienced this businesses food through pickup and delivery orders, I have only eaten in store once. The food is not the issue, it's the service. Great chicken sandwich, great mac and cheese. The problem with this place is they will always butcher your order. You will never receive what you actually order from them and most of the time it will be in their favor so you lose money. I cannot clucking tell you how many times I've ordered an M&M or Oreo shake and what sh... read more
"Asap" online order was set for pickup at 8:49p when I ordered at 8:10p... staff was visibly overwhelmed when I came in. Sent my boyfriend in while I waited in the car. He arrived around 8:50p expecting to pick up and leave. Asked staff if order was ready and was told they would check. They didn't check the rack which was behind the counter. He waited around assuming that our food was still being made all bc they said they would check but didn't. I ended up joining him inside and still no food in hand at 9:10p. Apparently af... read more
