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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

First time trying this today.... It was actually 10/10 from customer service to the freshness of the food. I got the loaded fries and the slider. Lite mild seasoning on both. The building was cute. I'm glad they had zero coke! I can't wait for the one in Richmond to open now that I've had it!!! Idk what that slaw mixture is on there but that, with the Dave sauce, the pickles and some honey... SO GOOD!!! Needless to say, i will be back... The only reason they got 4 stars instead of 5 is because they are pricy... one sliced ... read more

We came at 1:30 on a Sunday and based on the other reviews, I was expecting a long wait but we had a great visit. We placed the order at 1:30 inside the store and had our food at 1:39. The cashier was incredibly nice. The food was delicious. I couldn't tell much of a difference between the light mild and the medium. To me, neither one of them were spicy. Next time I will try hot or get some packets of hot sauce to add. 

Business response:

Thanks for sharing, Summer! It’s great to hear your visit exceeded expectations with quick service and delicious food. Glad you had such a smooth experience, and we appreciate your feedback on the spice levels—hot sounds like a great pick for next time. Looking forward to seeing you again!

Clean place inside with a decent ambiance for a fast food place. There seems to always be a line at the drive thru so plan accordingly haha

I've been waiting to check out this new restaurant. I did think it was the dipped hot chicken. We arrived with with about 30 minutes before our Bible Study. Ugh service was slow. Not to complain since the food is freshly cooked to order. Truly not an issue. Our order taker was not really helpful with explaining the items on the short menu. What was included and al la carte. Any hoo we had to eat and run. The hot chicken was packed with spices and really too spicy for me even. Fries were hot n crispy. Fountain drinks..ye... read more
