The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and insanely juicy inside, you can tell everything's made fresh. The seasoning is on point, and the sauces take it to another level. Service was quick and super friendly, even during a busy rush. The vibe inside is clean, modern, and comfortable, perfect for a casual lunch or chill dinner. read more

Well this place used to be super good, but recently they've made some changes and it's not the best. For example I used to always get the Chinese Salad. It had nice thick crispy noodles. Now the crispy noodles are so thin it can't be tasted. You can't really taste anything Chinese about the salad. Not sure what else they changed. No dressing. I believe there was some sort of Asian dressing on it that was missing as well. The thigh of the fried chicken was undercooked. Pink on the inside. But the employees are very nice. But I think they have to tighten up on the food quality. I won't be ordering the Chinese salad again and that is all I used to order each time. But still it's a cool spot. read more

Not sure of the structure of the new and improved business, but they have expanded on the area (and kitchen?) and their menu. The food is still incredibly great. I want to exercise to be able to burn enough calories to consistently eat here! Excellent quality from their mains to their sides to their drinks to their condiments to their desserts... Honestly, you need to try! Staff has always been friendly and helpful. Food is served quickly. There is ample space to dine in (I think parking in the back - I usually find on the street.) And usually a great crowd of locals. Top spot in the area and one of my top choices even though I have moved a bit away. It is worth the drive over (convenient freeway exit). read more

The best fried chicken in the area. I've gotten it several times when I entertain. Everyone likes it. Juicy and seasoned to perfection. The sides are also really good. The pies are amazing. read more

As an appreciator of both fried chicken and breakfast burritos, this spot was logically a natural fit. How I let this place and their amazing fried chicken breakfast burrito languish on my bookmarks list for so long is a mystery I'll never resolve. Located in a busy spot on Foothill Blvd. in La Canada, it's hard to tell at first glance if this place is a fried chicken restaurant, a coffee shop, a breakfast spot, or some combination of the three. The interior is bright, clean, and pleasant and staff and service was quick and friendly. Prices were very fair for both food and drinks, while maybe being a little steep for their fried chicken (I think it was about $50 for 8 pieces of chicken and $80 for a 16 piece), but my breakfast burrito with the fried chicken added came out to about $15, which is great considering how expensive they can be in other spots in the area. The burrito was filled with crispy hashbrowns, eggs, cheese, and the aforementioned fried chicken, along with 3 tasty sauces/salsas. At least one of the sauces was kinda spicy but I enjoyed the combination of them with the thick, satisfying, and tasty burrito that didn't skimp on fillings or flavor. Absolutely top-notch. I will be back again! Coffees ran from about 3.50 for a regular cup of coffee to about $6 for a latte, so I may try one on my next visit! read more

My bf and I tried this cute little place which didn't disappoint. The food was amazing and so tasty it was all delicious, even the ranch dressing was homemade and it was so yummy. The service was great and it was a little of a wait but for chicken of course I understand. Everyone was so nice and friendly, I will come back again :) read more

30 minute wait for 2 breakfast burritos. Unacceptable. Egg, chicken and tortilla should be easy to make. And when you pay $3.50for a cup of drip coffee, it should coffee, not hot water with coffee.. read more

Sooo boom... the chicken tastes like somebody's auntie is in the back frying it with love. Not overly crunchy, not dry--just right. My dad and I were nearby and decided to try something new. He ordered the fish sandwich and a fried chicken leg, his caregiver got the mac and cheese and chicken sandwich, and I went with the mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts. My dad said the fish sandwich was very flavorful, but a little heavy on the sauce. The fried chicken leg? Cooked perfectly. And my dad's caregiver absolutely demolished the chicken sandwich--no words, just chewing. That tells you everything !! Now let's talk about these Brussels sprouts... BABY. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, with just the right amount of vinaigrette. The pickled onions? Chef's kiss The host was super informative and gave great recommendations. Plus, they serve beer and wine--so yeah, they know what they're doing. If you're in the area, pull up and show them some love. P.S. Parking in the back and on the street because we love convenience. read more

This was my first time trying Honeybird. I placed a to-go order for a 3-piece meal. The side of Brussels sprouts was tasty, but unfortunately, one of the pieces of chicken was so undercooked that it was literally bleeding as I cut into it. Needless to say, I completely lost my appetite after that and didn't feel comfortable finishing the meal. read more

I love this breakfast burrito. The eggs are soft and fluffy. The hash brown is crispy. Cheddar cheese is an obvious must and the Peruvian green sauce on the side is a great pairing. It's def a simple breakfast burrito, but that's what I love so that the ingredients shine. I've added fried chicken in it too and that is delicious as well. read more

Came here and reviewed this place before already a while back but I came to this place again recently to try their salad and sandwich again! I didn't do this in the past but the honeybird tastes good with honey, and the bbq chicken salad was pretty filling and the fried chicken add-on was worth it! Service was friendly and helpful! Plenty of seating! Great place for fried chicken, but note it's in the pricier range! Parking is in the back! read more

I don't know what happened to this place...the chicken doesn't taste the same I'm not sure if it is because it was old but it had the rubbery chicken taste. It wasn't very crispy and their banana cream pie crust also had a weird after taste -- it's almost as if the chicken was previously baked in the pan I don't really know how to describe it. My food was also cold and I picked it up within 10 minutes of ordering. Their sides are good but I do feel like the quality has gone down when it comes to their chicken. read more

Honeybird - House salad. It's literally all dressing. Why not put it on the side? This was gross - Chicken Shop Near Me - La Cañada Flintridge, California

Top tier chicken/fish sandwich. Very high quality food. The fried chicken and fish have the perfect crunch. Mouthwatering sauce and toppings. The waffle fried had a good crunch, the house salad was simple yet very tasty. The chocolate pie would have been legendary if It was warmed up for 30 seconds. That would have made it super soft and warm especially with the chocolate drizzle. The staff were super friendly and the establishment was clean with a modern & comfy feel! read more

Two stars because the service was terrible today.

First time visiting and I had a great experience. Parking was easy, which is always a plus. The girl at the front had amazing energy and was super helpful, which really set the tone. I ordered the Phil Lee o Fish, and I'd definitely get it again. It's mainly a chicken spot, but their fish was surprisingly amazing.. Light, moist, and not heavy at all, so you don't feel guilty after eating it. The sauce paired perfectly with the fish and really brought everything together. Long story short, order the Phil Lee o Fish (lol). You won't regret it. read more

I love fried chicken and this place definitely hits the spot. The collared greens, mashed potatoes and the biscuits are heavenly/ and especially the fried chicken. The skin/crust is delicious. I'm hungry just thinking about it. read more

Nice spacious clean place with bridge modern decor. Friendly staff and quick, easy order & turnaround. Came by around 2:30pm with front street parking . The foods are good, nothing special the bun cold and the fried chicken is room temperature. Got the spicy fried one but not spicy at all. The pecan pie is okey, was expecting the wow factor but just okey. Not too sweet (love that) but the rest is just okey. Overall, it was good. read more

I came to Honeybird really excited after reading so many great reviews, and I ordered a pretty big spread: the family meal with a whole bird, collard greens, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, biscuits, a BBQ chicken salad, and a banana cream pie. The chicken and biscuits were definitely the highlight -- the chicken was flavorful and the biscuits were warm and comforting. I'd come back for those alone. The sides (collard greens, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese) were good but tasted pretty standard to me. Nothing bad, just nothing that stood out or felt special. If you're looking for something memorable, I'd stick to the chicken-focused items. The biggest disappointment was the BBQ chicken salad. It looked nothing like the photo, and it was much plainer than I expected. I also thought it came with fried chicken, but it arrived with grilled chicken instead, which changed the whole vibe of the dish. As for the banana cream pie -- it was fine, but not my favorite. There was a lot of cream and barely any banana or crust. If you're a banana cream pie fan, I personally think Bake n Broil in Long Beach does it much better. Overall, Honeybird has some solid items, but for me, the chicken and biscuits are the stars, and the rest of the meal didn't quite live up to the hype. read more

I came here pretty early to grab something to eat unfortunately it was before 11 o'clock so I had to get breakfast, but I really wanted to try their chicken. Luckily, the cashier who I think is the owner at that time told me that I could put the fried chicken in the breakfast burrito and that his most ordered item was this. I ended up getting that, with a banana cold brew. The banana, the cold brew was excellent, but I may be biased because I love banana anything. The breakfast burrito was really good and probably one of the better ones that I've had. I really liked the fried chicken in there. What I really want to showcase is that the service here was really good. I noticed that he treated everybody there with kindness and patience, including me, and really took the time to explain what he had. He even said that he could possibly do the lunch option if I only got chicken, but I ended up getting the burrito anyway. When I went to get my order, he explained each sauce and even gave me some red sauce that he said it goes really well with the chicken, and that it goes well with honey. He was so right, but I liked every sauce that he gave. I like the red sauce and the other spicy green sauce more the other one that's more like a chunky green sauce wasn't my favorite. The location is bright, clean and inviting. I also ended up getting their salted honey pie, which reminds me of a better version of crack pie from Milk bar bakery. I think that's saying a lot because the crack pie is amazing. I think they changed the name from crack pie to something else, but I don't remember the name of it. I can't wait to come back here again and try their fish sandwich and their chicken sandwich as well. I'll just make sure to come back after 11 AM. read more

Came back again just for a lemonade and the same girl that kept getting my order wrong and giving ME attitude for no reason when I didn't even return any rudeness back to her, is at the cashier and she obviously remembers me because she Continued to give me an attitude again and acting extra dismissive like she was trying to rush me out the store, I've lived in this city my whole life and I literally just try to be kind to people but I'll be damned if I'm going to be treated like an outside but the same person TWICE in my own city, I'm going to my a hand writing review and complaint at the city hall and BBB , I have already took a pictures of her and know exactly who she is, I KNEW nothing was going to be done after the first complaint but watch this. read more

Went to HoneyBird today to try their fried chicken, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and biscuit--and everything was excellent. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside and flavorful without being greasy. I picked up a very faint hint of rosemary, which added depth without overpowering the dish. My kids are pretty picky eaters, but they absolutely loved the mac and cheese and the coleslaw, which says a lot. I initially thought I had ordered collard greens and mentioned it to the owner. They kindly asked if I still wanted some, and although I said I'd try them next time, the person who served us surprised us with a small bowl anyway. The collard greens were delicious--cooked with bacon, a subtle touch of vinegar, and a savory broth that really rounded out the flavor. Overall, everything we tried was delicious, and the service was genuinely thoughtful. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes. And as a bonus, the sample of banana cream pie was outstanding--rich, smooth, and clearly made with care. read more

Honeybird feels like a true hidden gem of a spot! We popped by for brunch on a Sunday morning after visiting Descanso Gardens as it was only a few minutes down the road. It was not super busy and we were able to grab a metered parking spot right out front on the street. We ordered a few things to try and it was all delicious. The fried chicken was so moist with a perfectly crunchy, flavorful breading. Also loved the seasonal peach tea to drink! The shining star for me were the biscuits though, which are made with bacon, cheddar and chives and come with a side of the most delightful maple vanilla butter. My friend got the chicken and waffles which were also so hearty and yummy! I was so impressed with the selections in their pastry case and was debating between the key lime pie, pecan pie, and hazelnut bread pudding. I opted for the bread pudding which I unfortunately did not love, so definitely need to venture back and try some of the other sweet treats. There are a handful of tables inside, but you order at the counter and then grab your meal there when it is ready which is super easy! read more

The chicken is a solid 8 out of 10, it's cooked perfectly but the seasoning is mild though just matters how you like it but overall very delicious. Place is clean and sanitary, ambience is nice for a chicken spot definitely nicer than KFC, employees were very nice and quick enough service. The Mac and cheese was ok not bad but not great either. All and all it's a delicious chicken spot that should be checked out. Don't forget to add honey to your chicken! read more

Honeybird is a great place for chicken and sides. I don't live near Honeybird at all, so I relish each visit, especially after visiting the Descanso Gardens! My wife and I split the 4 piece meal and chose mac n' cheese, collared greens, and house salad as our sides. The salad was a normal salad; the collared greens were packed with flavor, and the mac n' cheese was very smooth and rich. The chicken was fried beautifully. It didn't have any burnt parts or pieces, the fry was light yet still very crispy and seasoned well, and the meat was juicy. Some of the best fried chicken ever! Service is always courteous and welcoming here. This is also evident in the amount of families that stop by here for a meal. Atmosphere is very comfortable and casual. If you're ever in the area and love fried chicken, you MUST try out Honeybird! read more

The food is whatever it's not the best fried chicken i've ever had... The service isn't the best either, the server spilled my friend's food all over him and muttered a quick apology.

At least offer a refund or free pie... the ambiance is whatever either very low-mid chicken spot better you go to Popeyes or jolly bee :) read more

The chicken was so tender. The right crisp outside and juicy inside. Kale salad had the right amount of everything a little bit of crunch which I love texture in my salad. Then I had the sides of mashed potato, macaroni salad. The sides were so divine!!The service is warm and friendly and the ambiance feels like you are in your own backyard which I love. read more

Enjoy your food with a nice side of food poisoning due to undercooked meat! My tween stopped by for a quick bite with his BSA Troop on their way to an outing. Took two bites into his fried chicken thighs, and realized that the meat was not just only undercooked, but still BLEEDING. He texted me a picture and the thigh was so raw around the bone, I was surprised the chicken wasn't still clucking. When he brought the food back to the cashier, he was told that the food was edible. And that was that. No redo, no substitute, no apology. I guess they felt comfortable bullying down a polite teenager. If you feel brave enough to give them a try, just make sure to bring your own meat thermometer to check the chicken is properly cooked, and you do not risk a pesky trip to the ER. read more

Interesting line of food at Honeybird- fried chicken, cool salad sides, great breakfast burritos and shrimp grits. We haven't tried the chicken so you'll have to rely on other reviews. The breakfast burrito is da bomb! Fluffy eggs with hash brown in a toasty tortilla. Shrimp and grits comes with a load of bacon and I hate to say this but I think it actually had too much bacon. Yes I realize that is hard to believe. But I thought it competed with the shrimp and overpowered it. At another meal we tried the Kale salad-overall very good but ask for dressing on the side. Like many places they overdo the dressing. We took the remaining half salad home mixed it with an equal portion of greens to tame the dressing load. The sides are mostly good. Our favorites were the macaroni salad and the broccoli salad. Parking is plentiful in the back of the restaurant. Hard surfaces in the restaurant makes it rather noisy when kids are in the joint and this place is frequently host to families having a meal out. read more

Support your local chicken spot...we ain't even from Gdale but LA gotta support LA. Any way- got the 8 piece fam meal. It was spot on...enough chicken for a small crew of 3-4 people...think 2 bigs and a little or like 4 people watching their weight...you can tell the chicken is brined well and the seasoning is delicately put together without too much spice. Tres well done... IMMEDIATELY (homie gotta work) after a quick drumstick I jumped on the greens - theyre hella smoky...bacony and on a sweet tobacco ride...cooked but with a crunch. so good I sipped the saucy ass green water before... ...hitting the Chipotle mac salad. Isht is fire and literally fire. As a mac salad connoisseur it has all the richness and flavor but still iz heiat. I like it but couldnt shoot it to my baby girl. That said... If the Chipotle Mac Salad is too much for the littles, say howzi to the mac next door at Aloha Kids....but I digress... After the mac I buttered up the biscuits and damn the sweetness is decadent af...good but deep- the amount of flavors this spot produces is like a 90s dj juggling beats in your mouf. All that and I chased it with a sparkling yuzu drank. dude...i need a nap. Next time I'll hit the joint up after 4pm for the beans. Fire emojis all over. End note: Hit it and don't quit it...hon'. read more

I used to love this place as I am local to it. I love their chicken and fish sandwiches. I tried the chicken tenders w fries and holy the chicken is sooo dry and extra extra salty. Idk if it's because my order was at 730pm but it's terrible. If you are sensitive to salt or should be avoiding I do not recommend the tenders, I was able to eat 2 but not the 3rd too salty. The tallow fries were great. read more

Came here with my boyfriend the other day, and he was seriously impressed! We both ordered the Fire Bird, and the chicken was perfectly fried - crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Their house sauce takes it to the next level which was so creamy and tangy. The portion size was pretty big - I couldn't finish mine. I could tell my boyfriend was lowkey waiting for me to say, "ahh... I'm full" because as soon as I said that, he happily swooped in to finish it for me haha. I'm usually not a big fan of waffle fries, but theirs totally won me over. Super crispy, nicely seasoned, and honestly addictive. We paired everything with their Arnold Palmer, which was light, refreshing, and the perfect balance to the spicy sandwich. I've also tried their Chinese Chicken Salad on a previous visit and was impressed by how fresh and flavorful it was, great portion size too. Definitely a go-to spot when you're craving something quick, satisfying, and flavorful. read more
