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

I was heading to Popeyes ( their wings) but thought I'd check these guys out. First time ... we'll see .... Cashier welcoming and I asked how "hot" was their "hot" chicken and she stated HOT. So I didn't want to tempt faith; although I like a little heat wanted to try and enjoy their chicken for the first time. Chicken bites (nuggets) - no spice - tasty considering no sauce and very moist ! - rate a 5 (five) They look "burnt" or overcooked ?!? but they're not. Very thin or minimal batter which I prefer. When ordering aske... read more

I came across this place online and was excited to check it out, especially since it's a Los Angeles-based company--everyone knows LA has some amazing food. I decided to go with a three-piece meal and chose the hot spice level. When I got my order, the chicken looked great, but I was a little disappointed to find that they just dusted it with seasoning instead of using a wet, Nashville-style coating. I was expecting more flavor and juiciness, but unfortunately, the chicken ended up being dry, and the taste was just okay. I... read more

Had Dave's hot chicken in Concord Ca and it was good, spicy and very edible. Not so with the sparks location. Ordered 2 piece slider mild and got 2 piece slider that was so hot it was almost inedible. Tried the fry's to put the fire out but they were doused in some sort of powder which tasted as hot as the chicken. I like hot food but this was unacceptable. Many other choices for hot chicken, will go there next time. Service was good. Employees were nice. Place was clean and spacious. Try them but do so at your own risk, may... read more

Good, quick service. Chicken was good, but felt like i had bits of just breading. Fries were a bit soggy in my opinion. Mac and cheese was good. Id be back if driving by but i feel it doesnt outdo some of the other fastfood chicken spots in the area.
