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.

Service was great; the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Restaurant was very clean and organized. Everything that the staff onsite could control was well done. It is overpriced. $12.50 for a combo that doesn't include a drink is high for fast food. We went with a party of four - two enjoyed the food and would go back, the other two didn't enjoy it at all and won't return.

Our order took awhile to come out only my husband I - only 2 other diners in the restaurant - chicken came to us not hot but warm to cold - what I disliked the most the chicken had a very heavy powdered spice mixture covering the Chicken - way to thick and unpleasant - not what I expected - didn't care for it - loud kids running the kitchen - seemed to be more interested in having fun than taking care of customers --

Super disappointing. Paid 22 dollars for 2 people but wouldnt have paid over 15 had i known. Firstly, it seems like they've either shrunk their portions or i got a bad tender, but the tender on my slider only covered half the bun. The food itself was very disappointing. The chicken is bland, the tender on my slider had a piece that seemed like it was just over-fried batter. My partners nuggets were just plain bad. The pieces of chicken used were not good, and some of them were just completely overfried and tough. Without spi... read more

I don't ever leave reviews but I was super disappointed. The food was cold when we received it. The pickles in the box made everything soggy. The chicken and fries were very bland. I don't know if it is only this location that's bad. I do know though that I would never go back. I would genuinely rather any other chicken place. Im so disappointed, and I wish I hadn't paid so much money for the meal. Please save your money.

Not going to lie; this was by far the worst chicken I have ever had. Just like every other chicken establishment, everyone thinks theirs is unique... it's unique alright. I took one bite and could not stand to take another. I'm gradually going back to home cooked chicken because food is too expensive to be experimenting... and they are also a bit pricey. This may be a crowd favorite, but I can't go along with the crowd.
