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.

Went on Friday night to check it out. It was very busy, but the customer service was great. The cashier had a lovely smile & helped us out with what to order. The chicken was very good & juicy. Their sauce was flavorful & the fries were cooked just right. The price is veryyy reasonable.. better than chick fil a & mcdonalds. This will be my new go to when I'm craving a chicken sandwich!

Wife and I wanted to try this place because we seen how busy they were as we drove by. The food was pretty good, but the sauces don't really match up to what they say. The wife got hot and said it wasn't even that spicy. Definitely didn't seem to be as good as it would have seemed from the amount of people that were in there though, but would definitely eat there again.

Service was great! The gentleman at the front was really great and helpful. Came in after the lunch rush, so the restaurant was mellow at the time, looks like a friendly family place, nice outside seating. Chicken was good, didn't really know that it was dusted with seasoning that stuck to your fingers, wasn't really a fan of the outside of the Chicken but the inside was moist and tender, I think next time I will get the plain/naked tenders, I will ask next time if all their Chicken is dusted with the seasoning really no... read more

Just had a slider sandwich (medium spicy) and fries, and it was excellent! No notes! Tender, juicy chicken. Medium spicy is quite mild, so I'd suggest starting at Medium and going up from there. The dusting of secret spices + the special sauce = *chefs kiss*. Best "hot chicken" I've ever had.
