    Crawford's has very quickly become one of my favorite establishments in all of Los Angeles. I've been here three times now and I can't wait to return again soon. Between the ice cold beer, delicious fried chicken, and top tier mac n' cheese, this is the perfect neighborhood bar. Although the space is relatively small, they have a pool table, TVs to catch a game, and outdoor seating. If you find yourself in the area, go ahead and check this place out!

    Spicy Fried Chicken and Mac n Cheese

    Stopped in to try their fried chicken. Their online ordering wasn't accepting orders, so I went in and ordered at the counter. It's a small bar, about 10 tables or so h some high tops and others are booths and tables. About 10 more seats at the bar. Ordering was quick and easy at the bar, albeit the loud music which required a louder voice. Took our fried chicken to go, one spicy and the other not. I'd give the nod to the spicy chicken. Both were tender inside, crispy skin and just overall some great fried chicken. The spicy wasn't a burn your face off spicy, but it surely has a lot more flavor than the original. The mac n cheese was a green Chile variety and was tasty.. even better was the bacon BBQ beans. Those were awesome. Overall, a good experience and great food!

    I was in the area heading to the Lakers game yesterday with the lady and we went to trusty old Yelp to find food in the area. When I saw Crawfords described as a dive bar with fried chicken I knew I had to check this spot out. It's definitely a dive but the vibe was chill and I get the feeling that most of the people there were regulars. Now I didn't know that it's not a full bar so they only serve beer and wine. They have Budweiser and some kind of IPA on tap, the rest is an assortment of bottle and can beer. I just had a draft bud even though I haven't drank Budweiser in probably 15 years at least lol. The bartender was very welcoming and had great energy which I appreciate. Now for the chicken. It probably took about 10 mins to come out and it arrived fresh and hot. I was told it came with 2 wings and a thigh but when it arrived it was a breast and a drumstick. I'm not the type to sen stuff back unless it's really bad so I didn't complain. The chicken wasn't dry at all and had good, subtle flavor. For a side they were out of potato salad which everyone raves about so I opted for the Mac and cheese. It wasn't the best but definitely not the worst, what I will say is the portion was generous. I forgot to mention they do have a pool table which is always dope. Overall I thought it was a dope experience and although they don't have a full bar, I would probably double back for the chicken. Last thing I thought was pretty cool is that it's across the street from the OG Tommy's on Rampart which is a significant part of the corrupt LAPD rampart division history.

    It's a little hipster, it's a little divey, it's giving a lot of bunker, it's super friendly, the spicy chicken is some of the best in LA by far. All around good vibes here and friendly service in a sort of Beverly Blvd no man's land. I am a big big fan of Crawford's although much like the 90s vibe it puts out you won't find that name anywhere on the outside of the building in keeping with the IYKYK.

    Good vibes, great chicken! Fried chicken and beer. A small menu but they nailed it. If you can catch them on the right day (Mondays for now) they also do a delicious and huge chicken sandwich. They're prices went up, which is a bummer, so we don't go as frequently now but it's still delicious. You shouldn't eat fried chicken that frequently anyway pretty good classic music too! They have outdoor seating too which is nice when we'd bring the dog. No parking though. Hunt for street parking.

    Came in a few time for some cold beer finally decided to try the chicken and it was some of the best chicken I've had also the Mac and cheese and potato did not disappoint definitely recommend getting food here and definitely coming back!

    The epitome of a really cool neighborhood hangout. We went for the chicken but were graced with a great atmosphere. Some may call it a dive bar, but it's got a better vibe than a dive bar. I'm sticking with neighborhood hangouts. What I love about it most is how unpretentious it is. No LA posing here. Just come on in and be yourself and enjoy! You go up to the bar to order and then they bring your food to your table. Coors on draft for $4, served in a 12 oz beer mug. They had a couple of IPAs on tap for $8 and also had a nice assortment of canned beers. As I said, we went for the chicken. My friend and I each had the "basket of chicken" deal. It's $13 for two pieces of chicken and a choice of one side. You can order your chicken regular or spicy. My friend had the regular chicken with hot sauce on the side. Smart move. I had spicy chicken. Oh my. I really messed up. One bite into it, my eyes started watering, my nose started running, and I was sneezing. Lucas, the super cool bartender warned me how hot it was but I thought I could handle it. I took the skin off. It was good chicken. My bad for thinking I could handle the fire. It was also very greasy compared to my friend's regular chicken. For sides, I had mac 'n cheese, and my friend had potato salad. The mac 'n cheese didn't have a cheesy flavor, it was more like eating plain elbow macaroni. My friend's potato salad was really good, though. You can eat inside or outside. Outside is basically on the sidewalk and really close to the street. It works, though. Get there early if you want a seat. The later it gets, the more crowded it becomes. Oh, there's also a pool table. $2 a game. Not bad. The highlight for me and my friend was Lucas, the bartender. He's awesome. He makes you feel welcome and totally sets the tone for the entire place.

    Great chicken! Juicy, got lots of heat, comes with 3 large pieces, slice of bread and a pickle. You can choose a side. I tried the slaw & the potato salad and both were awesome and complement the chicken well. It's not that spicy but can mess with your stomach if it's sensitive. It's a small place with decent seating. There's a pool table as well.

Now, I was just a man looking for a sports bar to watch my team win, wasn't expecting much. So, I was pleasantly surprised when met with not only awesome fellow fans but also a kick-ass service team. That bar was so busy given the season and that was of expectation, but I watched the bartenders specifically handle it like a cake walk and even better, my drinks were FANTASTIC. From the Espresso Martini that got my not-so-young self through the night, to the Carajillo--those were elite cocktails and I had low hopes honestly.

I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mushroom gravy, my boyfriend got the Hungarian brat with spaetzle, and our friend ordered the Hungarian brat on a roll. Starting with the schnitzel: it wasn't completely terrible, but it definitely wasn't good. The breading was some what soggy and sliding off the chicken, and the chicken itself had almost no seasoning besides an odd lemony sourness. The mashed potatoes were honestly awful -- extremely sour, like they were overloaded with sour cream but missing butter, salt, or any real flavor. I LOVE mashed potatoes and only managed two bites before giving up. The red cabbage was overcooked, mushy, and had a slightly off taste. Overall, the schnitzel plate was maybe a 2/10, and those points go solely to the fact that the chicken itself was technically edible. My boyfriend's meal somehow managed to be worse. The bratwurst was fine, but tasted frozen and reheated rather than fresh. The sauerkraut, according to him, "tasted like dirty socks." The spaetzle was genuinely offensive -- mushy, overly bland, and tossed with what looked like hydrated diced mushrooms that literally tasted like dirt. I honestly questioned whether it had gone bad. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself felt dirty and had a strange smell throughout. It honestly seems like a place locals may still visit out of habit or convenience, but it no longer reflects what I imagine it once was. It's unfortunate, because there's something special about a restaurant that's been around for 65 years and still tries to maintain its old-school charm. Sadly, the food and cleanliness just don't live up to that legacy anymore. Save your money unless you're only stopping in for an overpriced German draft beer. We definitely won't be back.

The fried mozzarella was simple and decently executed, somewhat generic and forgettable. Better than standard mozzarella sticks. The fries were crisp and perfectly seasoned. A+. That chicken sandwich was toothsome and juicy. Def worthy of a repeat visit. I'll be thinking abt this sandwich for a while. Of his mussels, the husband appreciated the spicy broth but was underwhelmed by the crusty bread it accompanied. I had a wonderful experience personally, hence the 4 stars, but proceed with caution.

    Sadly underwhelming. The restaurant offers basic "bar" food, served with basic service…read more I wanted to love this place and support, but it is a one and done for me. The one positive is nice decor and space.
