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 waited 10 min for my order which is ok but then it comes out wrong I ordered it with no sauce and guess what's on there. I then send it back and i don't know if they were being lazy but they didn't remove the bottom bread which had sauce on it. If it was pickles I would have removed them but the sauce I can't do yuck.

Dined here with my family tonight, and the experience was terrible. First of all they messed up my order not once twice. The first time they fixed it was okay but the second time they gave us attitude didn't correct the mistake and told us that we were wrong. Finally the food was just cold

I ordered sliders no sauce , clarified three times bc the screen on the order read extra sauce ....once my order came out wrong they said they cant remake it and were super unproffesional and unhelpful. Seemed like even the manager didnt know what planet he was on.

We waited in the line 45 minutes before several orders (pickup, Doordash, etc) and we were also before 5-6 cars. We approached the line at midnight. Unfortunately, we didn't get service when we approached the window, could no order a single thing, and were told to drive off because they were closed. It was sad, ridiculous, and badly managed. If we were told in the drive thru line we would've understood and found dinner elsewhere but we literally spent almost an hour in line for no reason at all. They refused to serve us and ... read more

Can never give extra Dave sauce. I asked for some and all they gave me was honey. Shouldn't be that difficult

Service was amazingly slow. The drive through took almost 10 min. prices too high for the value. I won't return.

Do not waste your time going through the drive-through. I did this twice already and ended up waiting in drive-through for 35 minutes. No joke, no exaggeration! I was beyond livid, and unfortunately, I couldn't exit the driveway because people were in front of me and behind me. In fact, two other cars in front of me drove off as they approached the window and it was their time to pick up their food, whoever owns this franchise Should read my post and hopefully they take it into consideration because clearly they have not hir... read more

As we walked up to the register, we noticed a sign that said, "Check in with Yelp and get a free soda." My wife ordered two meals and an extra strip for $32. While she was ordering, I completed the check-in process on Yelp, answered about 15 questions, and showed the cashier. However, he responded, "That's not how it works. You need to leave a five-star review." I pointed out that the sign clearly said "check in with Yelp" for the drink, and I asked, "How can I leave a five-star review without trying the food first?" He repe... read more

Food is good, slider roll was much smaller than normal. PLEASE turn down the music. I'm hard of hearing as it is, I wear hearing aids and still could not understand the cashier. It's to noisy.
