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

The whole experience deserves 5 stars. I always wanted to bring Helen's hot chicken or princes or Hattie bs here to Lubbock but you beat me to it. It's its own unique variety though with a focus on tenders. I think a big part of the magic in Nashville is the huge wings and culture of spices. This brings me there even the line reminds me of being there. Best chicken in lbk quick and excellent service. 

Business response:

Wow! Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We're delighted to know you enjoyed your experience with us. Do come back soon

Food is good I reckon it especially if you want to try something different for the price of canes you can get yourself some of Dave's hot chicken . If you want spice I recommend any spice above mild as mild isn't spicy in the slightest 

Business response:

The food is delicious. Be careful about spice. Make sure you order to your liking. The heat heats up quickly. We love this place and order often.

First time trying it's good. The different heat levels gives you different experiences. When they say hot they mean hot. The tenders are very juicy they have a lot of seasonings on them it will get all over your fingers. Even the fries are seasoned too. The sandwichs come with slaw cheese and Dave's sauce which is just incredible. The staff was very nice, polite, helpful and welcoming.

Got the mild chicken, was very seasoned. The house sauce is good and the fries are probably the best part. Friendly staff. Would eat here again. 

Business response:

Glad you enjoyed the fries and sauce! Appreciate the kind words about the staff—hope to see you again soon!

Got the medium heat for the chicken. It smells like it's mainly cayenne. I really liked the flavor of the slider with everything combined, but if you like to feel spicy/heat, then this medium is a mild in Texas. If you eat the tender on its own then you might feel some heat, but not much. The service was fast and courteous. 

Business response:

Appreciate the detailed feedback! Spice levels can definitely be subjective, but glad you enjoyed the overall flavor. Hope to see you again!

I got the number 2 and substituted Mac and cheese instead of fries. Now for the slider. I got one hot and one medium. Who would have dreamed of paying 13.99 for two single chicken strips sandwiches. Apparently, I ate the hot one first. That was a bit too hot for me. The other one was medium, but I couldn't detect much heat. I wish there was an in between. I would rate this as a rebuy, but I don't think the chick-fil-a across the street will be going out of business. This is worth a try 

Business response:

Appreciate you giving us a try! Finding the perfect spice level can be a journey, and we get that a middle ground between hot and medium would be helpful. Glad you’d consider a rebuy, and we’d love to have you back anytime you’re craving some heat!

I was in the first wave of customers on opening day and the service was very courteous and polite. It was pretty busy and people didnt stop filing in the entire time I was there. It did take a bit (15 minutes) for my food to finally come out but it was well worth the wait. I ordered the number 2 and the regular top loaded fries. My first "slider" was delicious. Much larger than I was expecting. I won't be ordering 2 of these next time. The hot is the perfect heat for me. The extra hot...too hot for me. Everything wa... read more

Business response:

Thanks for being part of the opening day crowd! Love hearing that the hot was just right for you, and we totally get that two sliders can be a lot. Appreciate your patience with the wait, and we’ll be here whenever you’re ready for round two!
