    2 Piece & Waffle, Coleslaw, Mac&Cheese, and Fries!!!!
    Vanny K.

    One thing I like about places that's been around, is that you know they stood the test of time, especially when it comes to restaurants, and Dinah in Glendale have been serving up Southern Fried Chicken for almost 58yrs now. Everything was exceptional, outdoor picnic table's reminiscent of the south, to warm, cozy and clean barn style decor inside this establishment. Service was great, helpful, and fast. We came here with only one thing in mind, and that's the Chicken & Waffles with a side of season fries, coleslaw, mac&cheese, and wanted to see if this part of town knows how to serve it. Our plates came out hot, and the fluffy, and dense waffles paired with perfectly cooked fried chicken blew my expectations. The fired chicken itself was crispy and juicy, and goes really well with the coleslaw if that's your vibe, n then you add the mac&cheese with season crispy fries to complete the cravings. Affordable, and Delicious served with a side of Professional hospitality described an experience at Dinah's Chicken.

    Ambiance: it's a small restaurant both for dine-in and takeout orders, limited seating inside, the shared paneling lot gets packed easily and there's ample street parking nearby, Service: friendly and fast, the food was served shortly after placing the order Food: classic diner food menu, with emphasis on chicken meals 2 PIECE 'N' WAFFLE - *** 2 PIECES OF CHICKEN, 1 WAFFLE WITH MAPLE SYRUP, choices of one wing and one leg, the waffle was chewy and not crispy, the leg tasted fine, the wing was too dry, and spicy sauces available upon request Price: moderate portions and affordable prices, expect $20+ per person for a quick bite, discount for cash payment

    Cole Slaw with Pineapple (must try)

    I love fried chicken and had never had time to try Dinah's in Glendale. I was in town the other week to visit family and finally had a chance to visit Dinah's Chicken. Dinah's has been in business for 59 years. What a great spot, as you walk up you are taken back in time, the decor, menu board and high-quality fried chicken. We were seated quickly even though the dining area is very small, they seem to turn the tables fairly quickly. The menu is simple but with plenty of options, my brother and I ordered the Chicken Dinner, which is served all day, it's a 3 piece of chicken, 2 sides, we chose the pineapple coleslaw and mashed potatoes and gravy. The pineapple coleslaw had a lot of flavors the pineapple gave it a nice refreshing taste, a must try. They also offer a chicken drumstick for one dollar, well worth it, it is nice sized. The chicken skin is nice and crispy, not sure how they fry the chicken, but I really appreciated the fact that the chicken was not greasy, the taste of the chicken was amazing. They have a variety of drink options and pies, I counted 8 different pies or so, some from memory are, Cherry, Banana Cream, Pecan, Chocolate Cream, Lemon, Meringue, Blueberry, they looked amazing, we did not have any space for a slice but next time we might prioritize a slice or two. You can also order food to go; I noticed that they have options under their family style menu from a 6 piece to a gigantic 36 piece (giant barrel O'Chicken) for 108.00 bucks. you can also order large 1/2 gallon to a full gallon of sides. If you enjoy gizzards and chicken liver, this is the place for you. One other point, the parking lot is very small, not kidding, plan ahead.

    Dinah's spicy fried chicken mashed potatoes + $1 dollar drumstick on the lunch special.

    The food at Dinah's is always amazing. There's a reason that they have been a Glendale staple for all these years. The chicken is delicious, and any of the sides as well. You can't make a bad choice. The service is impeccable. And the cozy ambience makes for the perfect setting to enjoy comfort food. Whenever I'm in the Glendale area during lunch, Dinah's is my go to spot!

    One of the most ICONIC FRIED CHICKEN SPOTS with the BEST Southern-style fried chicken in Los Angeles County is Dinah's Chicken in Glendale Four generations of the Pearson Family have served Dinah's original chicken recipe for 58 YEARS Their chicken are fresh, never frozen; where they are cut, hand bread, marinated and dropped in their special method Pressure Fryers everyday. Check out that golden brown color!! So juicy and crunchy! DON'T MISS OUT ON THEIR $1 DRUMSTICK SPECIAL!! From their family meals, individual plates and iconic takeout bucket of chicken, it will satisfy your cravings! Ashley had great customer service!! There is limited indoor and outdoor seating. Very cozy and nostalgic!!

    Fried chicken, absolutely delicious! 4 1/2 stars!

    Had this delivered on Friday night and still thinking about it! Fried chicken - 4 1/2 stars. Absolutely delicious. Moist and tasty on the inside and crispy on the outside. Mac N Cheese - 4 1/2 stars. Served classic, I loved this!! Mashed potatoes - 4 stars. A classic preparation, solid and delicious! Baked Beans - 4 stars. On the sweeter side but rich in flavor and really good. I was highly impressed with how good this was and will definitely be getting this again. Well done Dinah's!

    Trying this restaurant since 1967 with their fried chicken specialty and loving it! I had: 1. Fried chicken combo 2. Pineapple coleslaw - must try item! This coleslaw is not the same with all the coleslaws you've eaten before 3. Corn on the cob 4. Mac and cheese 5. Fried liver and gizzard

    One of the best fried chicken I've had. I saw they have spicy chicken so I had to try it. Juicy and crispy chicken. Great waffles. Moist and buttery. My son loves the Mac and cheese. I e been meaning to come here. Glad I did. Parking could be a little tricky. I had to park on the street.

    First time trying Dinah's and the fried chicken was amazing! Skin was crispy and meat was super juicy. We were all excited to try and eat that I forgot to take pictures lol! The restaurant is pretty small but has cute decors and looks cozy. It has take out orders and indoor dining. Friendly service and really good chicken. Ordered 4 drumsticks to go and the chicken was fresh hot and delicious . The coating was light and crispy and the chicken pieces were large and very tasty. There is a wait for the chicken but every order it is made fresh and not sitting around like other fast food places thats why we waited longer cause first we didn't call. The chicken was hot juicy, super crispy and delicious but not heavily battered unlike other places. They also have shrimp platter , coleslaw, potato salad and even home made pies. This is for walk ins only and not available online - 1$ drum sticks but you have to order 16$ worth of food to get the deal. Wait time: 15-20 mins wait coz we didn't call in first lol Price: a little expensive compared to Popeyes and KFC now Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Service: Good service. Well worth a visit. I wish they have it in the Eastbay. Loved their chicken their gravy, mac and cheese and fries. Definitely worth to check it out.

    This place had been on my radar for ages and I am super glad I finally got to try it. I ordered chicken and waffles, a two piece lunch, and a side of gizzards and livers. The chicken was delicious and perfectly fried. It tasted like if someone's grandma was in the back cooking. The mac and cheese was way better than I expected. The restaurant has an old school diner vibe and the servers were very friendly. They also have jars or delicious apple butter on each table to pair with your food. I can't wait to go back and try the Spicy chicken. If you're on the fence about coming here this is your sign to go!!

    Mac & Cheese, very tasty!

    Est. 1967- It's been 5 years since my last visit to Dinah's. I came during the Covid shutdowns, so I wasn't able to eat inside, everything was to-go. this time, I dined-in. The service was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the 2 piece with a Breast and a Wing, Mashed Potatoes, and a side of Mac & Cheese. The chicken is juicy and tender, with a really nice season on the crispy batter. Dipping it in the gravy from the mash is the way to go. I asked for additional gravy and that didn't charge me for it. Also, I wanted to see if the Potato Salad was as good as I remembered and it is! They gave me some to try and again, no charge. Very nice! The inside has a very homey feel to it. It's cozy, inviting and relaxing. The food, the service and the vibe, make's Dinah's a great place to visit. The food here is always good to go, but if you have the time, enjoy a meal inside and relax.

    Coconut cream pie
    Claribel V.

    Whenever we're craving fried chicken and find ourselves in the Glendale area, this is our go-to spot. The chicken is always spot on super crunchy skin with juicy, tender meat inside. I also love their cranberry stuffing; it's delicious and reminds me of Thanksgiving. Their coleslaw is another favorite. The pineapple pieces make it refreshing and a little different from the usual. I also really enjoy their waffles and will sometimes order them with the chicken instead of the traditional sides. My go-to drink is the pineapple iced tea, which is refreshing and not overly sweet. Recently, I tried their coconut cream pie for dessert and it was amazing--probably the best I've had. The coconut custard is so flavorful and creamy. Customer service has always been consistently good here. I've never had a bad experience, which is why we keep coming back.

    Dinah's chicken is my favorite spot to pick up a quick bucket of delicious fried chicken, when the craving hits. They're located in a small shopping center on San Fernando Rd. Adjacent to Vons, and across the street from CA. mattress Stores. You can't miss it, look for the giant bucket of chicken. It's been there for 50 years. Their chicken is crispy, and golden brown on the outside, and very juicy on the inside. They have a special way of frying the chicken that they don't use any

    When will the Culver City location reopen?

    Will they be open Easter Sunday?

    Yes, From 7:30 AM - 3 PM

    Is the fried chicken spicy? If not, is there a spicy option?

    Not spicy at all and believe they do not have the option. Chicken used to be flavorful but has gotten VERY bland.

    Do you do larger family takeouts?

    Hello Ann! Yes we do! We typically like offering 2-3 pieces per person plus a variety of side orders, give us a call and we can help you order!

Their motto is: "If it's not good enough to serve to mom, it's not good enough to serve to you." The wait staff are friendly and smile every time they refill your coffee from the classic glass coffee pot. The décor is retro with orange vinyl-upholstered booths, counter seating, and terrazzo floors. The menu is extensive, offering something for everyone. The portions are large and prices are reasonable. My girlfriend and I would frequently come here to grub after a night of clubbing. Now, I'll stop by on occasion after a tasting at Silver Lake Wine. My favorite thing to order is the Chinese Chicken Salad without the chicken. The house made dressing is so good. I also love the thick steak fries, hand cut onion rings, French fried zucchini spears, and handmade pies with the perfect flaky crust.

The food is excellent, having tried the schnitzel, kielbasa, steak frites and pierogis. If you have room in the end, the bread pudding is fantastic.

Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. 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.

Absolute perfection. Next time, I'm ordering two. The pork and green chile stew was also very tasty. It was tender, hearty, and felt super cozy. It wasn't, however, something I'd absolutely HAVE to order again (the cornbread is). The Carolina rice was the one thing I didn't thoroughly enjoy. It was a little too seafood-forward for my palate and not something I'd want to have again. My entree was the porkchop with a side of their buttery chive mashed potatoes. The porkchop was the best porkchop I've ever had in my life. Ever. Cooked to perfection, perfectly seasoned. I went a little feral and downright chewed at the bone. It was so, so good. Dessert was the sticky date pudding and that was also very delicious. Service was friendly but a little slow. All in all, I'm absolutely looking forward to coming back. I've got their ribeye on my radar for my next time.

    First and foremost I have to give them flowers for the amazing staff and service that we received…read more Felt super welcomed as soon as we came in. Highlights: cornbread & chili stew definitely two must gets. Only reason I'm not giving a five is because I do believe it's a tadddd overhyped for what it is, and didn't love the concept of the community table. Overall definitely coming back and a spot worth trying !

    The pivotal pre-stonewall activities around this space deserve multiple late night deep dives…read more Extremely accommodating service. They found us a seat w/o a proper reservation, and the place was lively. Ordered the hummingbird, which was unexpectedly herbaceous. Tangy with smoky undertones. Refreshing. I quite enjoyed it. The husband got the bellhop, which he said was fine but not mind blowing. We ordered the Chicken liver toast, fried mozzarella, and chicken sandwich hot and spicy. The husband got the mussels. Chicken liver toast was served w mustard seed and berry compote, which highlighted the buttery fatness. The toast wasn't crunchy and a bit difficult to cut, but the pickled vegetables were fantastic. 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.
