    Spicy Fried Chicken and Mac n Cheese
    Michael F.

    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.

    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.

We ordered many items on the menu but there were only two things we liked; the Mackerel and the Eggplant. Unfortunately the rest of the food was not good at all. Another thing was that none of us got buzzed from the beer. lol Majority of us agreed that the beer was watery but maybe that wasn't a bad thing. hahahaha Again, it's a cute place especially for summer time. And the Mackerel was really really good. I will probably go back for it.

When we finally got our beer, I told our server, Noah, that I could pour it myself if that would help. Instead of explaining the situation politely, he responded with attitude and said, "You know I can't serve you guys, right?" I apologized, but then he told us, "Nah, you guys have to leave." This was frustrating after waiting so long just to place an order. We were never rude or disrespectful to the staff, so the interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessary. I completely understand being busy, but customer service should still be respectful. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression despite the great welcome we received from Nate.

The second you…read morewalk in you feel like you've been teleported straight to Bavaria - dark wood, old-world decor, the whole thing. It's a European vibe that you just don't find anywhere else in the city. Their beer selection is what really sets them apart. They've got an impressive rotating tap and bottle list loaded with German imports you won't see at your average bar. A few of the drafts include Spaten Lager, Bitburger Pils, and Gaffel Kölsch. If you're into beer, this is basically a pilgrimage spot. Food is good too. Generous portions, and there are even solid vegetarian options if you're not in a meat-and-beer mood. What really makes Red Lion special is the space itself, there's a cozy indoor chalet style room for when you want that intimate tavern feel, plus a huge multi level biergarten/ patio upstairs and out back for when you want to be outside under the lights with a beer in hand. It gives you options depending on the night. Always a great mix of people, good energy without being rowdy. It's the kind of place that feels like a neighborhood spot even though it transports you halfway across the world. If you love good beer, hearty German food, and a genuinely unique European atmosphere, Red Lion Tavern is a must. This place has my heart.

The most we have seen so far, it was more a "business plan" let's do what Americans may think a German beer garden looks like. Our friend, the LA promoter Vahe, took us yesterday. We found a little gem, grown over the years, with an actual German owner and a service that had more than basic knowledge of German food. Nice! The ambiance was what you would expect from a place like this, less stylish-designer but more owner look-what-we-brought-from-Germany over the many years. The food was actually good, reasonably priced and generously portioned - the sauce platter really deserved its name "platter"- Came with great German curry ketchup. It would be too much to brag about the food, it was decent better than just OK version of classic beer garden dishes. But one has to be fair: where in German beer gardens you find food really worth bragging about? So while I was really tempted to stop at 4 out of five stars, I give 5. After all, it matches my most key how-to-get-5 element: would I do a 30+ min detour just to go here. If someone asked me to show them decent German cuisine in a somewhat authentic ambiance, I would take them here. The Kiez may be closer to our home, the Wirtshaus more stylish, but here we found the hearty welcome we missed elsewhere.

Hungary didn't make it to the World Cup this year so that was a bit of a bummer, considering my fam is from the old country. However, my second all-time fave, France, was still in the semi-finals. You see, I grew up watching Zinedine Zidane and to me, the World Cup brings back childhood memories and family bonding time. The menu items took me back in time. Much to my surprise, I noticed that there was a Hungarian kielbasa & a Debreziner sausage listed on their $10 lunch deal. I was shocked that I had the opportunity to debate over which one to pick. DEBREZINER sausage (in German) or for us Hungarians, is better known as "Debreceni Virsli" and made in the region where my dad's side of the fam grew up. It's often served cut up on the sides and has a richer color. For me, it's a bit juicier and there's more paprika in there. It's more along the lines of chorizo, if that's what your flavorbuds prefer. It's made with sweet and hot paprika, garlic, pepper, and marjoram. If my dad had been with me that day, he'd opt for the Debreziner. After deliberating for a bit, I decided to go with the HUNGARIAN KIELBASA and decked it out with grilled onions, sauerkraut, and jalapeños (very hot, stated the menu). The jalapeños rivaled the outside 100+ degree temperature. Thankfully, the cool AC made me forget it was one sweltering summer's day. Also, the Hibiscus Cider was crisp and made my experience and the lackluster game worth my time out. I loved how easy the ordering went-just tap the menu on the iPad and voila, you got the whole spiel. Service was quick and felt welcoming like I was at home in someone's living room with tons of TVs all around. Sadly, France didn't show up to play in the game until the last 5 mins or so. Spain obvi deserved the win and yes, this year's cup for their fancy footwork. The vibe was great and the crowd around me were locals on a first name basis with the staff. With awesome cider and food as tasty as I had growing up at home, I think I'll make it a goal to be on a first name basis around here during the NHL & NFL season.
