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

This place is as unbelievable and authentic as It gets. Hands down the best place in Los Angeles. We brought our youth program to come eat here and the owner was kind enough to give us a big discount. It was completely unexpected. She said it was her pleasure to give back to the community. Unbelievable food. Genuine owner who really cares about her customers.

OMG…we had such an amazing dining experience at Dinah’s today. Being that we were 1st time diners, our server Kim, was extremely attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. Her effervescent personality was a refreshing touch! We had an opportunity to sample a few sides, all of which were fresh, well-seasoned and flavorful. Our meals were prepared to perfection and arrived piping hot! We definitely enjoyed every bite. AND…we purchased additional items to take out. Dinah’s is a culinary experience, one that everyone should try! You’ll be pleasantly pleased.

I really want to support family-owned, mom-and-pop businesses, but unfortunately this chicken was a big disappointment. I honestly think you could do a blind taste test with the chicken from the Vons supermarket next door and not tell the difference. The chicken was greasy and flavorless, yet somehow the skin was still very dry, which was surprising and disappointing. The mashed potato side was nice, and the $1 drumstick deal is a great value, but once you order a full meal, the price goes up significantly and the quality doesn’t justify it. Fast and friendly service though. I do appreciate the Americana-style decor and overall experience, but the food left me feeling sick afterward and regretting spending that much money on supermarket-quality chicken.

First time trying Dinah's. The restaurant 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. 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. Well worth a visit . Loved the chicken.

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.

*ordered delivery* Not sure if the quality is just kind of terrible because I ordered it,or if because it was an off time, but this was my first time trying it so have no idea how to compare. But the chicken skin was soggy and mushy. The potatoes and Mac n cheese was bland. And I found plastic in my coleslaw. Looks like a corner of a bag or something. I guess long story short just don’t order delivery for this place.

Had a perfect lunch at this lovely spot. Got sat right away and the service was excellent! I had the 3 piece chicken dinner with Mac and baked beans. The chicken skin was crispy and the meat incredibly tender and juicy. Sides were phenomenal. I also got to try the mashed potatoes with gravy and their stuffing. So good! Finished it with a slice of warmed up cherry pie a la mode. Incredible work. Can't wait to come back and do it again.

Oh my gosh Dinah's Chicken is so delicious. This spot is super local to me, and it brought back so many childhood memories. Growing up, my mom would always bring home the classic box of fried chicken with sides, and it was hands down one of my favorite meals. To this day, it's still one of my all-time favorite mashed potato and gravy spots, and that fried chicken has The same crunch and unique flavor that are unforgettable. Im glad this is a family-owned owned business that has been passed down for generations and is still standing string because now I get to take my kids to enjoy it as well. I hadn't been here in a while, and this was actually my first time dining in, and totally worth it. I honestly regret not coming back sooner. Everything tasted even better fresh and hot. We ordered the chicken sandwich, chicken and waffles, and a shrimp lunch meal, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. You can tell the food is made fresh on the spot the chefs were in there working their magic, and it really shows in the quality and flavor. I highly recommend eating here in person because nothing beats enjoying this food fresh. Dina's Chicken is a classic for a reason, and it still hits just as hard as I remember. Highly recommend!

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.

We Hadn't been here since early 90's when we lived near by in Los Feliz. All I remember from that visit was I was disgusted to find pineapple in their Cole Slaw, I was a NY snob when it came to deli salads, proud that I've grown in my openness to variety, fast forward to today, armed with the knowledge of the pineapple, we gave it a try. A bucket with two sides, the other being mashed potatoes. The place is smaller than I remember, it's also clean. The person that waited on us was friendly. We ordered for pick up, so little interaction actually transpired. The Chicken was very good, the sizes of the peices were quite substantial as was the price a bit over $56 with door dash. I always think of them when in the area, they somehow had a nice product placement in the Movie Little Miss Sunshine, which was set in New Mexico, so someone in production was fond of them back then and they were right to be that way.

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.

Nice place for a feel of Americana. Good food, nice service and good prices. Fried battered fish w/ tartar ,mash & gravy, pineapple coleslaw and a roll.

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.

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

The service was excellent and the staff was amazing. The whole places is such a time capsule I love it! The chicken reminds me of my grandma's chicken. Totally deserves 10 star!

Great place when you're in the mood for chicken and waffles. I love most of their sides, and they're a nice size portion so you don't get too full. Mashed potatoes great, bean salad good if you like tart, French fries very good, the Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite.

In my experience, the food is always consistent and delicious, dine-in or takeout. The chicken is high quality and the waffles are huge. The mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese are such classics. Seating and parking are limited. Highly recommend for brunch/lunch!

Chicken and Waffles was fantastic, some of the best fried chicken I've had in a long time. Family owned for 67 years. Everyone was patient and friendly with good service. Old school nice location. Not a lot of seats but absolutely worth the wait!

I normally don't write reviews but I had to make one regarding the customer service here. I was bragging about this place to my fiancée for weeks about how good the food was and how it's my favorite place to come too my family has been coming here for years but unfortunately we always get the worst customer service here and it's normally always three older ladies i think two of them are twins and some other older lady with short black hair anyways I don't stop coming because I love the food but dislike the snotty service I always get. On January 25th at around 7:30 pm I had asked our waitress if she can give us a refill of the apple butter that I normally always put on my delicious chicken and with the most disgusting attitude and eye roll that they normally always give me when I ask for more apple butter when she comes back I was in shock even my fiancée was shocked and very much upset because she came back with the smallest cup of apple butter keep in mind I gave her the jar so she can refill it meanwhile she was refilling everyone else's cup and when it came to ours nope this is what she gave me while I still had like 3 big pieces of chicken on my plate my fiancée turned and told me this is why you brought me here we could've had better service at McDonald's and to never bring him here again and proceeded to ask for to go boxes I was so upset that I asked one of the younger very polite girls working that night at the register for the older lady's name and she said her name was rose and I didn't get her twin sisters name she has red hair when rose handed me the mini cup the red head lady was laughing like it was some sort of joke and I asked if there was anyway I can speak with the owner and the younger girl said call in the morning she's normally here at that time so I told her thank you while I was packing my food my fiancée got up went to the register bought me a big pint of apple butter to go home and finish enjoying my delicious chicken the food is never a disappointment it's ways very much delicious but unfortunately it's the lack of customer service I definitely still would like if the owner can reach out to me regarding this issue and other altercations I've had with the other older ladies I have recordings of them being very disrespectful to me and my family if I could post it here on yelp I would

Old school since 1967. It's been a decade since I last ate here and it was disappointing then, but the food has gotten a lot better. I ordered the 3 piece fried chicken combo that comes with biscuit and two sides which I picked out mac n' cheese and potato salad. The restaurant was busy so I ordered this to go, it took around five minutes to get my order. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the meal satisfied my hunger.

All the reviews are correct this place is amazing, it has that warm cozy ambiance to some pretty delicious comfort food. The fried chicken was amazing as well as the mashed potatoes and gravy. For sides we went with the Mac and cheese ( not pictured ) pineapple coleslaw, stuffing with a side of cranberry sauce and dinner rolls. The chicken was cooked perfectly not greasy at all, just needed a touch of salt for my taste. The pineapple coleslaw was delicious just a touch of sweetness not overwhelming. Unfortunately the reviews on the Mac and cheese were correct it did not have enough cheese and lacked flavor. As for the stuffing it was delicious reminded me of my mother in laws, the presentation wasn't all that appetizing but it was good. The service was a great the prices are reasonable considering inflation and it still has that grandmas house feel to the place, I could tell why a lot of locals and regulars come to this spot.

We've been coming here for so many years! Tasty fried chicken and very good mashed potatoes. Pineapple in the coleslaw is a nope for me but this place is still an institution. Get a big bucket o chicken and thank me later.

This place is AMAZING. The best fried chicken I've ever had. Mia was fantastic and have me the perfect recommendations. How this place isn't more famous or been in a Tarantino movie I'll never know. I had the 3 piece dinner, pineapple coleslaw, fries, and upgraded a piece to a breast. Perfection. Been here since 1958. If you feel like a bite of some Americana, go here. Mia was even kind enough to let me try the fruit ambrosia salad and the mashed potatoes. Delicious. I'm definitely coming back!

Dinah's is one of my favorite places to get fried chicken. They never disappoint!!! I got the chicken & waffles and it was amazing.

Best Mac n cheese eva. Pecan pie was the best I ever had. It was like a dopamine hit so big. I got lost for few seconds from the deliciousness of the pecan pie and its wonderful crust. I ive a pecan pie lust now. Fried chicken like a pro they did Place needs a facelift but the food is fire Friendly staff and service Def be back soon. Thanks y'all Love ur ambience there. Old school cowboy feel. Ahh is that why you show that 1967 menu!!!! Cause the place is suppose to be from the 1960 I guess when the Vietnam war was poppin. Thanks for staying around. And the place was packed when I came for a to-go order.

Quaint old school fried chicken spot. Love their fried corn on the cob! The service is warm and friendly. Will keep coming back

I was in the mood for fried chicken, i drove 32 miles to eat at this yelp referred place. I had the five piece chicken dinner plate with mashed potato, coleslaw and barbecue beans. I was in fried chicken paradise!!! Service was slow, no refill on iced tea.

Got seated right away for an early lunch. Ordered 2 pieces plus mash w gravy and Cole slaw. Their Cole salad is the usual cabbage plus pineapple. There lots of pineapple chunks adding a sweetness. It was tasty. I liked the chicken but it could have used more flavors. Salt was fine. I wouldn't call this southern fried chicken tho. The restaurant is small with a lot of tables. The wait staff was friendly. I wouldn't go out of my way for this place, but if a group of us were going I'd happily try it again.

Personally I like this fried chicken more than Roscoe's. I know I know but Dinah's breading and flavor are more consistent. Not overly fried and juicy tender meat. People keep coming in and out of the restaurant walking out with buckets and trays of just fried chicken. If that doesn't tell you something good let me tell you more. They even have batter fried fish and shrimp. They're also not overly breaded or fried. My mom loves the fried liver and gizzards mix. So crunchy!!! As for the sides it's hit or miss. I feel that their Mac needs more cheese or something. Their waffles are delish. Signature pineapple slaw is a must even though it's not my favorite. I like their mashed potatoes a lot. Add the gravy so creamy!!! I also really like their rolls. Thick yet soft. They also have a variety of pies that you can get with ice cream!!! I love their apple pie with vanilla ice cream but there are so many other flavors to choose from. Highly recommend historic Dinah's for your fried chicken cravings!!!

Our neighbor gave us some of their chicken and we loved it so we stopped by Dinah's! We were seated quickly and food came by pretty fast. There's a take away version of the chicken dinner but it's not available dine in. We ended up getting one chicken dinner meal, which includes three pieces of chicken, two sides and a dinner roll. They also have a $1 drumstick special for every $5 spent. The chicken again was tasty and didn't need extra condiments. Nice crunch and juicy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were as expected. The macaroni and cheese were creamy but could use a little pepper. There's available parking in the lot though if it gets busy street parking is available close by. Bathrooms are pretty nice too.

One of our favorites ! You want chicken it's the best. Much better than Kentucky Fried Chicken. Been going there and the one in Burbank since I was much young

Awesome chicken! Old school feel with great service. One of my favorites. We will definitely be back.

It's not even worth reviewing. If you come here, expect your food to come out at least 35 min. When inquired about our food, the waitress said it's because there's a big party ahead of your order. There were only 2 tables ahead of ours. The food was mediocre and it would have been better if we went to IHOP instead. Will not be returning to this place.

Great chicken and the mashed potatoes are so good! Fast and friendly service on a Friday night. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated!

underrated fried chicken! i love this place. it's such a gem to glendale. it's a mom and pops place, the chicken is sooooo juicy and soooo good. i always get the chicken and waffles. variety of hot sauce(trust me this is important). they occasionally have deals for drumsticks. i haven't tried their pies but i really should next time. everyone is friendly. parking could be a little challenging.

I'm obsessed, to a fault, with this place! Oh my, the fried chicken is incredible. The BEST! Better than homemade. The sides are shockingly good. It's hard to find good country food in LA. This is great country food. The max and cheese is also great. Haven't had other sides.

Well this is about as close to my mother's, grandmother's and everybody else's mother or grandma out there during the 50's thru the 60's fried chicken from a cast iron pan coated with only flour shaken in a brown paper bag, with salt and pepper. Back then the only chicken with a wet egg and flour dredge, and maybe Buttermilk batter was KFC. Mom didn't know anything about a 11 spices, other than two, salt and pepper. Now I love a good crunchy fried chicken that is now ubiquitous, (Popeyes', Vons, Ralph's, KFC, Church's, Pioneer etc.) it's not what was typical in anyone's household. Now I didn't grow up in the south, but my mom's family was from Arkansas, and you'd thought she'd know about buttermilk and egg's dips. But no my friend she didn't and never but never did such a thing. And don't get me started on mashed potatoes. Dinah's serves the real thing with little tiny chunks of potato in there. Praise the lord! I only have two issue's. I live in Pasadena and she's too far away and I'm not crazy about her gravy. I grew up with milk gravy from the pan drippings. So next time I'll pass on the gravy. Finally, everyone in the shop was so lovely. Made the visit all that more special. Oh, I almost forgot. As I approached the front door two women were walking out the door with a cart carrying several huge aluminum pans filled to the brim with what I assume was fried chicken with several sides. It had to be enough for at least 50 some people. Now if that isn't an endorsement I don't know what is.

Wow, Dina's Chicken where have you been all my life?! I've lived in Glendale for over 40 years, and somehow this was my first time ordering from Dina's... and let me tell you, it won't be the last! I ordered for a family gathering and everything was absolutely amazing. The chicken? Perfectly fried, crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside . The sides were just as impressive -- the mashed potatoes were smooth and savory, the pineapple coleslaw was a refreshing twist (seriously delicious), and the mac and cheese was a hit with the kids creamy, cheesy, and comforting. Ordering online was super easy, and everything was hot, fresh, and ready for pickup right on time. Big thank you to Dina's for making our gathering so tasty.

Great food and service. Loved the fried chicken and pineapple cole slaw. Food came out fast.

Bottom-Line: Mid-level family-owned entrenched fried chic recipe that doesn't reinvent the wheel, but is an okay place to get a bite to eat now and then. Preface: Ordered Postmates, so results may vary -- especially when dining in. I ordered the 3-piece mixed chicken with roll and two sides. With tip and my Uber-one subscription, the grand total came out to 25$ in 2024. Sojourning from Glendale, the 3-piece still came in surprisingly still hot, but the mix chicken consisted of : wing, thigh, leg. For $25 dollars, I'm leaving a lot on the table to be desired. Would it hurt to sub a thigh for a breast? Not too much meat on 'em bones. I also ordered two of the more popular sides -- mac 'n cheese and mashed potato and gravy. The chicken was just okay. No knockout punch. Skin had a darkened crisp thinner membrane similar to what any person with makeshift homemade fryer can potentially make right at home. Or like dare I say a fancy restaurant not specializing in fried chicken can make. Doesn't mean it's bad. But it does mean it is limited in taste. The chicken however was -- for the most part -- super juicy. The skin just lacked any real defined flavor. Could be seasoned better. Roll tasted like a french roll for sandwiches, so whatevs. I did not receive mac'n cheese and mashed potatos and gravy. Instead, I just received two mac 'n cheese sides. The sides are super small. The Mac'n Cheese was the low-part of the meal. Super bland. Had zero flavor. Tasted just above grocery boxed mac'n cheese. How is this popular, I don't know.

This is a classic fried chicken spot established in 1967 and family owned ever since. Their wonderful chicken recipe has with stood over time and it didn't fail to satisfy that savory fix. They were quite busy, but the staff was very helpful. All the interesting chicken art on the wall really had a nice ambience.

Service was friendly and fast. Wonderful fried chicken and coleslaw was fabulous as were their pies which we took home to eat later. Generous portions!

This place serves some of the best fried chicken I've ever tasted, and it pairs perfectly with their classic sides! Honestly, I'd choose this spot over KFC or any other chain any day. The flavor is unmatched! And let me tell you about the gravy--it's absolutely delicious! This is a must-try for anyone who loves great comfort food!

The Chicken & Waffle is a must. Who's created this combo? Thank you. . The Waffles is crispy yet soft. The chicken has its own style of crispness which is good. The place is small but clean and nice country style feeling. It's located inside a small shopping center so parking is limited.

Stumbled across this place today, and I'm really glad we gave it a shot! We ordered the 2 piece n waffle, as well as the chicken liver and gizzard. The breading is amazing,, not too much and perfectly crispy. The servers were also very kind, which made our experience all the better.

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 good: Waffle was excellent The mid: Chicken was juicy in the way that the Costco chickens are, kind of slimy, like they are commercial food grade instead of artisan food grade if that makes sense. The bad: Dining room seating is wayyy too tight. I was sat in a corner table and the waitress missed me repeatedly for refills on drinks and when trying to flag anyone down for the check. Price: On the high side of reasonable. Conclusion: I would not venture out of my way to go back, but if I were at an event nearby and people wanted to eat there I wouldn't object.

Fire , food and service was excellent Stumbled upon Dinahs by accident. Definitely recommend

We've been coming to Dinah's for years now. It's our local go-to for chicken. Love the coleslaw best, but the potato and macaroni salads are good as well. We think of it (especially) when we're doing something picnic-y; Shakespeare at Griffith, Jazz at LACMA, or any number of outings! The perfect intersection of tasty and easy. Staff is always great.

Comfort food at its finest. Always nice a greasy. Service is swift and polite. Ambiance is old but very clean and orderly. Absolutely would recommend.

It's just as good as Gus's fried Chicken in Burbank, but this place has better sides. My brother got the mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes and gravy. I got mac salad and mac & cheese. The mashed potatoes and mac & cheese are the best sides we had at this restaurant. The mac salad is bland and something I wouldn't recommend. As a matter of fact, the mac salad at Ralph's supermarket is far superior. The mashed potatoes has a light gravy which is flavorful and comes in a good size portion. The mac & cheese comes with several kinds of cheese and also comes in a generous amount. I would definitely come back. The best fried chicken in Glendale.

I had heard about this place as a good "local" spot, so I had to try it once. I really wanted to like it more; what I got was overpriced food that was akin to a chain restaurant. Such a shame. Chicken - They pressure fry their chicken, which keeps them juicy but nothing else. Sure, the seasoning is great, but texturally there's nothing else to it. I was looking for any kind of crunch but couldn't find it. If there's no crunch, what are we doing here? Mashed Potatoes and Gravy - The mashed potatoes tasted and had the consistency of something I'd expect from a chain restaurant. Salty and dense. The gravy was a bit better seasoned. Mac & Cheese - If you like your mac & cheese sauced up, you'll be disappointed. Again, nothing to write home about. In a nutshell, it wasn't great. There's massively better fried chicken from a certain Filipino chain that's like 10 min away from here....and you'll get more food for less.

This might be one of, if not THE, best chicken place in town. They said if the colonel has their recipe, then he'd be a general--i'm not contesting that. The chicken is fried perfectly, not too salty, and all the spices permeates the the chicken meat down to the bone. Sometimes with fried chicken you have to eat the meat together with the crispy skin to make sure you get all the flavor. If you're like me who likes to strip your chicken naked, usually either you get crispy skin that is too salty or you get crispy skin that is just right, but the you're left with bland chicken meat. At Dinah's you can have your crispy skin and eat (the meat). Truly the best experience. The pies are fine, the gizzards are not bad, and the sides kinda alright, but the chicken is to die for.
