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

Welcome to Fairfax City. Tasty and delicious chicken sandwiches. Depending on how crazy you are, you get to pick the heat scale desired. The younger me likes that, the current one is mild. Even then lots of flavor, and a little bit of tasty spices. Fries work well too. How's the service? Extremely good! Thank you to the nice folks here. They certainly make you feel welcome, and are very efficient. This is for a new restaurant location, very organized and past the beta testing ground. If you have a good appetite, this will ... read more

Delicious and juicy chicken! I wish it was crispier, but the overall slider was tasty. The fried chicken was huge, and the combination of a soft potato bun, chicken, pickles and Dave's sauce was amazing. Sadly, the slaw was bland. The other disappointment was the mac and cheese. It tasted like a frozen mac and cheese. Not great. The fries were decent. I also tried their tenders and they were massive, but not as juicy as the slider, and not crispy. The ambiance was fine, but the music was kind of loud. The service was nice.... read more

We picked up our order to take to my son's school for a picnic lunch. Order was missing labels for the tenders spice level and all essentials like napkins and utensils, and most importantly sauces.

Decided to give this place a shot regardless of what I've heard, and I definitely went against my better judgement. Placed a couple of orders to go, as I'm getting to office, excited as a little kid, indulge into my first bite, and the chicken is undercooked, try to work around it, and it seemed as tho edges were ok, but the center was not. Proceed in calling store only to speak w/ an unprofessional individual, who claims to be the manager (Jose) and was extremely disappointed in what took place after the fact. Needless to... read more

Chicken was good. Nothing special. The issue was the "loaded" fries I got were missing cheese and fry sauce. Guess the person making food today wasn't really paying attention. I'll try again at some point to give them another shot, but overall disappointing.
