Dinah's Chicken Glendale

Been eating their fried chicken for 35 years...
Surprised how the breast pieces are always moist, never dried out... probably bc of pressure cooker...
Usually get their wings special and drumstick special...
Size of chicken pieces are huge compared to el Pollo loco... el Pollo loco chicken pieces are SO SMALL, I wondered why the egg shell was still not attached... 🤔🤷🤷🧐🧐🫣🫣
Always nice, helpful cashiers at Dinah's... and great oldies music.

Was in town and was really craving some chicken and waffles, so close proximity to the Airbnb we were at we found this hidden gem, great service, the chicken was absolutely juicy and flavorful. It hit the spot, if you are in the area and want some country kitchen food, its a must.

Let me tell y'all something. I had no idea what I was getting myself into coming to this place. I was expecting a decent meal, but what I got was me questioning my waitress as to who made this chicken because I was fully convinced that their mama needed to be slapped. The chicken was fried to a Golden Crisp, and tasted just as good as it looked. The flavors and juices that bursted in my mouth with the first bite of chicken can only be described as a cataclysmic, miracle, destined by God. I instantly felt as if I had time traveled to the past of when fried chicken first received its fame. And I haven't even gotten to the buttery, soft, yet crispy deliciousness of that delectable waffle. ANNNNDDD then I messed around and put some of that apple butter on my waffle! Good God almighty. This place needs to protected by armored guards. The customer service was just as sweet as the syrup I drizzled on my waffle. 10/10, I highly recommend.

The chicken sandwich meal deal is well worth the price. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. The Mac and cheese is very good as well.

Old school diner feel. The chicken is tasty, tender and juicy. All of the sides are excellent and so are the pies. The menu is not large but everyone can find something to their l liking. The gizzards are pretty good and the side portion is enough for the table. I've been going there for at least 50 years. Great food. Try going off lunch and dinner times as the dining room is limited in its seating. Take out is a great option as well.

I was just passing through town and my partner asked me why not look up a Groupon. So I bought a Groupon for a simple meal that they had promoted. Only reason why I’m giving a four stories is because they made me spend more than what I needed to. I don’t like to drink soda or even drink coffee.They said I had to spend more than what I wanted. It makes no sense you buy a groupon to save money, not spend more money. They have an option for 20 and $40. So if you buy the $40 one expect to spend 50+. Otherwise the vibes were cool. Small little corner building. Too bad I had to run.

We go to Dinah's about once a month. It's not too close to where we live, but it's worth the drive. There are lots of fun things to look at while you are waiting for your order. We especially love the chicken and the pineapple coleslaw.

I have eaten here for over 20 years. I know the owners personally. They are good to their employees and have contributed much to our local communities through donations, feeding hungry people, and simply running an honest business that provides great food at a good price with a smile. This eatery is a Glendale gem, a meeting place for the community and a unique experience that you can only get at this family owned restaurant. My favorites are the chicken, coleslaw and corn--each designed with great care, starting with the sourcing through the preperation to the presentation. Each food offering on the menu has been carefully tested by family, friends and patrons before being offered to you. If you have never eaten at Dinah's chicken, you have to try it. If you have already enjoyed the experience, then you do not need my recommendation to get seconds and thirds.

Chicken was fantastic, top tier chicken sandwiches. The prices are fair, Doesn’t feel super fatty or heavy, service was wonderful. A little small spot, decent parking. Highly reccomend!

I love the down home family style of the place. The server was extremely nice and help. The chicken itself was juicy, but otherwise just okay. I would have preferred crisper skin and better seasoning but I'm also from the south and picky about fried chicken. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good. Overall, it's a fun spot for comfort food.
