50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Sherman Oaks

“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 fry chicken in town 👍“

“Arrived late one night and ordered the fries with chicken and the sandwich. The chef was super nice and very dedicated to making the best possible chicken. Which it was, I have never tasted such crisp, perfectly spiced and amazing Nashville chicken before - kudos!!Thank you, sending our best regards from the two norwegians!“

“Who knew KFC got television....
That's right KFC's got television at least at this location.
Always parking available even during rush times. And don't even get me started on the service. Well it's top notch to. Dining room area is ultra clean with large Windows to look out at the traffic as it goes by while you're enjoying your chicken. Heads up drive to the window on passenger side.
Attention senior citizens it's a real quiet place to have something to eat.
And yes they have a restroom to just ask for the keys.they will immediately let you in with that being said enjoy some great chicken at a clean spot
Hope this helps

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!“

“Must try fried chicken!!!“

“The food was delicious! We got the medium heat spice, which was perfect for me. My son wants to try the hotter one next time. The place was very busy so that might be why none of the tables were clean and they were out of ice. But we will still be back because the chicken was that good 👍“

“One of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever had. The honey based sauce is to die for. The food slaps hard. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“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“

“So, it was my first time ordering from wild bird. I did not know what to expect. All i know is that i was starving and in the mood for some really good food. so I went to this location. I order my food and a cucumber drink. My order was ready fast. But instead of the cucumber drink, i wanted to try their water melon. So i asked an employee there if i could switch and guess what…. he actually switched it for me with no issues at all. His name was Joe. I don’t know if he will see this, but i still have to say Thanks Joe! you really made my day. Now because of the good food … and the watermelon drink being on point, plus the excellent customer service. I will definitely be coming back here! Other locations, take note! you guys need someone like Joe! and ooooh yeah, one more thing. This man deserves a raise if i’m taking the time out to write this review! lml“

“Thank you 🙏🏽 for your generosity pollo campero and staff from the laboratory here at Pacifica hospital of the valley!!!“

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

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

“Dave’s hot chicken tenders are great. I love spicy food and the spice level of Dave’s is perfect. I had the ‘Extra Hot’ so far. Next time I’m trying the ‘Reaper’. Thanks

Update: tried the ‘Reaper’. Almost burned a hole in my stomach. This doesn’t feel like a real spice. I think it’s just some potent Capsaicin mixed it. I’m sticking to ‘Extra Hot’.“

“It’s slow to get your order, but that’s because it’s made fresh. If your in a hurry, take it to go. Otherwise, the chicken is excellent.“

“We stopped in to find something affordable for the family after a day at Universal Studios. We looked online and saw Blazing Hot Chicken had decent reviews and wasn't far from our destination and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed and Martin the manager took care of us. The kids had the chicken tenders and we had a Mild and Hot chicken sandwich. Martin also let us try to Blazing Hot 🔥 which lit up my mouth and taste buds 🥵. Don't try that if you're not up for a challenge. It had me on fire for a quick minute and I was glad that I didn't get that as my sandwich because my body would have hated me. Flavors were good all around and pleased with the amount of food that we got.

Thanks again Martin and we will come see you on our next visit.“

“Muy buena la atención gracias 😊“

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

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

“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.“

“Delicious! and great customer service!“

“Excellent customer service, the food was delicious!! Had the #2 combo best tasting flavor sandwich!!! Hands the best“

“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“

“Pickled beets nice patient staff yummy everything falafals garlic sauce spread baklava humous papa....humous with eggqplant pita bread tabouli +🙂“

“Small shop inside the mall but the wings is fabulous. The service is excellent, super nice and friendly. This was our first time try the wings there. We love the Yam fry also, fresh and yummy. Wait 10mins for frying and it worth the wait. Definitely will come back. Very satisfied, thanks for the great food and aervice.“

“My #1 chicken spot very delicious food the owners are super nice very respectful people i love this place my husband and I came to eat here twice and we tried the loaded fries and honey bbq wings and lemon pepper wings and OMG we left full and satisfied will definitely be coming back and becoming regulars... thank u for making delicious food that never disappoints... see u guys soon.“

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

“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!“

“I love this place; it’s home to me with great food and staff!!!!“

“I’ve enjoyed this restaurant for YEARS. They serve wonderful rotisserie chicken. Delicious wraps. I always order the roasted potatoes as my side and they never disappoint!

But today I got the chewy coconut cookie. The wrapping doesn’t brag about the chocolate chips and macadamia nuts! This is one of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten. So good!

Still reasonably priced too!“

“Prob one of the best chicken places I’ve been to. The chicken is very good and pairs well with the sauce. The service is good, it’s better than Cane’s, and I love the art and on the walls. 9/10 would definitely recommend to anyone craving chicken.“

“I’ve been eating at this place before 1987. I used to take my children here for dinner or lunch on Saturdays. My children are grown and are raising their families now. I am in my Senior years now and moved from that area. However, I still go over there to eat on Saturdays every now and then. One thing I can share with you, is the recipe has never changed. 😎😎“

“Awesome food with lots of great flavor. We enjoyed our experience and definitely would recommend to others to try. 10/10“

“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.“

“10 out of 10 completely. if you're looking for that chicken that just falls into pieces as you take a bite this is a spot to go to it is amazing and tender“

“Nice Restaurant! Nice people and the crew. Good food, specially the fried chicken and the spaghetti.always fresh.😊👍“

“Outstanding Filipino Dining Experience!

Bacolod Chick’n Inasal truly delivers an authentic taste of Bacolod City right in Los Angeles. Their famous Chicken Inasal is absolutely exceptional—perfectly grilled, incredibly juicy, and bursting with flavor that’s spot-on with the original recipe you’d find in Manokan Country. Every bite brought back the unmistakable smoky, savory goodness that makes this dish so iconic.

We also ordered the Batchoy, and it did not disappoint at all. The noodle soup was rich, comforting, and equally delicious—clearly made with care and authentic flavors in mind.

Service was another highlight of our visit. Nathan, a young and very friendly Filipino staff member, took great care of us. Our food was served promptly, without a long wait, and the overall dining experience was smooth and pleasant.

Bacolod Chick’n Inasal is a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Filipino food. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be coming back the next time we’re in Los Angeles!“

“The chicken is really good; it's a must-try for everyone, and the salsa is out of this world good. The wait times are 10-30 minutes; the people that say that the wait times are absurdly long are exaggerating. One time I ordered the party meal, and it only took 40 minutes. The people are really nice, and it's a great atmosphere and service.“

“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.“

“As a Regular here, I’m surprised I have not reviewed this fine established yet! My family and I literally eat from this location ONCE A WEEK! It’s either via DoorDash or GrubHub who ever offers the most Discount that week ;) unless I’m in the area I’ll pick it up. Personally if it was my wish or hope I would replace them with all of Dave’s. I’m surprised they only have 2 locations. The sandwich burst with flavor and most recently Im addicted to the Burrito. Well done fellas. Absolutely love the flavors the spices and of course your smily faces. Great customer service!“

“Great place for friend chicken! � Totally coming back here.“

“California Chicken Cafe is still, pound for pound, one of the best salad spots out there.

The California Chicken Salad with feta and avocado is my go-to. I usually add green onions and sprouts, then drench it in hot sauce and grab two whole wheat pitas to turn it into my own wraps. It’s simple, but it hits every time.

The app makes it ridiculously easy — order ahead, pull up, grab your food, done. No friction.

Also, the combo wrap (I think it’s called the Melrose Wrap now) is another solid move.

Consistent, fast, and just really good food.“

“I haven't been here since pre-covid so its take out only but from approaching the store to ordering the workers were so kind and the food (as always) was so fresh and scrumptious. I don't come up to this area a lot since we moved out of state but CCC is a must in my opinion.“

“My husband usually orders pickup for us and it’s so good and fresh every time! Love the comeback sauce! We always order extra for our tenders. We live next door to a Dave’s and we happily make the 15 minute drive over here for this chicken instead (: <3“

“For one brief shining moment, they had an online ordering option through cash app. I purchased a four strip chicken box with fries. I'm removing one star because I have not been able to purchase online since that one time. Please bring back online ordering“

“es demasiado rico lo recomiendo“

“Short version: shockingly good.
Long vers: writ Feb '26. Had the Original. This is waffle folded like giant taco. Inside is crispy chicken, like a breast piece or large chicken tender. Also coleslaw inside. Drizzled over is hot honey sauce/syrup.
The slaw is excellent, not soaked in dressing. The waffle is light, fluffy, & even crispy on edges. The chicken is great, not dry, crispy, great seasoning. Whole thing is served in a cardboard V holder. Use the holder to grip the whole thing & eat like a taco. Hot honey pools in the V so don't tip it over yr silk dress , ha ha.
Whoever dreamed this thing up paid attn to the details. I even tasted a hint of coffee, in the breading I suspect. Nice texture/crunch/mouth-feel.
Upstairs is a sizable lounge area with a pool table.
Sweet tea is also good, just a hint of sweet.“
