“Great service and great food ! The chicken and waffles are the best and the Nutella waffles to die for!“

“Amazing chicken. Simply delicious.“

“I make a pick up order so I don't know what the atmosphere is like but the food and service for pick up all really good. Highly recommend. I got a whole chicken and used it throughout the week for lunch and dinner. I also get their bottled dressings and salad and make wraps for lunches. I love their mashed potatoes and gravy. I also like the vegetable soup, very flavorful. Not a fan of the sweet mashed potato it was a bit watery.“

“Something happened where my order wasn't placed threw the system and I waited pointlessly for my food at first I was mad because I was told that It was being worked on when I first arrived but the manager at the time I didn't get his name unfortunately but he handled the situation well and I left happy at satisfied thanks night crew!“

“Love love this little gem. The food was amazing. The owner was so kind. I felt like I was in someone's home. They way they served our food, and brought it out to us. Felt like aunty was cooking just for us. We love you guys so much. And I will definitely be coming back more regularly. Viva Palestina!!!!“

“the chicken slaps! got the 3 tender combo, and these are by far some of the biggest tenders i’ve ever had (def should’ve got the 2 count). I ordered them with the “spark” seasoning and imo hits the perfect spicy but not too hot level. also ordered the cheese curds which were great as well! plenty of parking which is rarity in LA. 9/10 experience!“

“😉😉really friendly good portions must try“

“The big sodas with free refills are a huge bonus, and they actually have great flavour too. The honey and sauce are so good and pair perfectly with the chicken — I always end up adding extra. On top of that, the customer service is awesome, fast, and super friendly every time.“

“Visited the Manchester UK restaurant today. Did not like it at all!!! Had to wait 20mins for my order and when it came it looked disgusting. The slider I got was a real thin, tough piece of chicken which wasn't very tender and the batter was over done and tasted greasy which was no surprise as it dripped out when I got the carton out and had a hint of a beef taste. The fillet included was just the same but a little bigger but the fries were the saving grace! They were nice a fluffy but the chicken here is terrible and wouldn't visit again. The staff were great but the food was terrible and it didn't even taste like chicken! No wonder they have spice it's to disguise the taste! Anyone trying for the first time I'd recommend getting it with no spice to get what it actually tastes like! Rank and horrible! Will go elsewhere for better quality chicken.“

“The waffles and chicken are delicious! It was out to me in record timing! The presentation of the food was spot on. The service was exceptional! I will definitely return for another great experience.“

“It’s hard to describe how great of a experience it is when you have Nashville Hot Chicken after a long day of work. Do yourself a favor and get the tenders and enjoy the sauce that comes with it. And if you leave a review they give you a cookie. Go there now and enjoy the spicy goodness each tender will give your tastebuds.“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“The food was hot, fresh , portioned perfectly, and very very tasty!!!“

“Love their chicken 🎯is the bomb💕 blew Pollo Loco out the water🍗😁👍“

“I decided to give this place a try after having heard a lot of great things about it. Usually when I want good fried chicken i end up going to Gus's but i figured it was time to try some place new for a change. I ordered take out and the food came out the way I expected it. The chicken had a similar batter as Gus's does just minus the spiciness. It was good but it lacking on flavor in my opinion. Salty but no spice. Sure they gave me hot sauce cups for the chicken to help out but i prefer how they do it at Gus's instead. The mashed potatoes i got were good though, I enjoyed the flavor and the good kick the gravy got too. The fries were okay. I believe they are regular 3/8 of an inch straight cut fries with their own seasoning. So think crinkle cut thickness but straight instead. The biscuits were good though too. Nothing crazy about it but it was more bready than flaky if that makes sense. Something different but it was good. All in all my visit here to Honey's was alright, food was good but it wasn't enough to change my mind about Gus's and I still prefer to go there instead. But I think this place is still worth a try for those who were iffy like I was. It didn't know my socks off but it was still good nonetheless. I might have to come back and try the chicken sandwich or something else on the menu next time.“

“Very tasty food. Wish they open a location in inland empire. Riverside or Redlands.“

“The food is really good! I’ve worked at UCLA for the last 5 years and never stopped by. Decided to come in today because the reviews were good and the chicken reminded me of el pollo loco but better. Not disappointed at all. The employees are extremely nice and let me use the restroom :) Totalyl wish I discovered this spot sooner“

“phenomenal from start to finish, chicken and waffles are the best!“

“That Thai Chicken Salad slaps hard no cap!“

“😎Love the simple menu. The taste is a plus.“

“I have been eating this chicken since I was a little girl. I moved to south LA and I still drive all the way to Lennox just for this chicken, price is good and food is delicious, the chicken has an amazing taste to it unlike any other! I highly recommend!

Parking: You can find street parking or go into the little shop next door and park there since you won’t be long anyway if you’re only taking out“

“Never have I been disappointed or dissatisfied by the service or the food. I average going there about 2-4 times a month. Most of the time it’s taking family, friends and car club members there for good eats. Food is always fresh, hot and served fast.“

“Zankou Chicken in the Valley is absolutely fantastic! I had the beef kebab and it was amazing. Meet was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The garlic sauce was addictive, and the portions were generous. The service was quick and friendly, and the food came out fresh. Definitely a must-visit spot for Mediterranean lovers!“

“exelente comida ,exelente servicio , muy limpio todo 👌“

“Traveling all over the world, from Asia to America, from Australia to Turkey, this is the best fried chicken I have ever eaten in the world, bar none.I heard that the security nearby is not very good, but I saw that the people on the street are still very friendly.“

“We had the best waiter, Shorty. He was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and very attentive. He made great suggestions for food and reminded us white truffles were in. They were delicious. He also suggested great wines. They were so delicious we ended buying some to bring home and share with our families. We are looking forward to returning.“

“Came for brunch, had the original chicken waffle sandwich and a Bruxie, lavender/vanilla cold brew. The chicken is definitely the star of the show (expected). Coffee was just okay, a little too milky for my liking. I can see myself popping back in for some tenders in the future.“

“Consistently great catering service from CCC! And having a delicious, reliable go-to local restaurant has earned my loyalty! Also, I really appreciate how they label all the wraps and include a menu card that lists the ingredients in each. It's been incredibly helplful!“

“Love the taste 👅 of their chicken 🍗 Yummy“

“Please tell me why I’ve lived in Los Angeles for 13 years and only just discovered California Chicken Café two months ago! As a vegetarian, I assumed there wouldn’t be much for me—but boy, was I wrong. I’ve been back three times since, and I now know that CCC is going to get me through the next seven months of pregnancy. Everything is so fresh and tasty. The cherry on top, of course, is the guy running your food out to your car so that you don't even have to get out. Customer for life.“

“This place is always good! When my wife and I find ourselves in LA near one of these. We always take advantage and make time to eat here. These are the BEST WAFFLES, I have ever tried. The chicken is also amazing. The portions of the meals is well worth the price, hell they could sell the meals for more! My wife and I love to eat and it's a struggle to finish our meals.“

“Why is your inside not open in Westwood??? The music is so loud and not adjustable according to the staff out back where there are outside tables.“

“Best fried chicken in Inglewood.“

“The best in LA try it today“
