Airy spot for homemade Southern comfort fare, including fried chicken
"This Culver City spot has been cranking out supremely crunchy fried chicken for nearly 20 years. You can’t go wrong with any of their chicken combos, but we love the spicy wing basket: the skin is beyond crispy, the meat is moist, and they’re coated in a sweet and spicy sauce you’ll be licking off your fingers until halftime. Oh, and that basket comes with fries and one of their buttermilk biscuits, which are so good, you can buy the mix online." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park

"Owner Vincent Williams strikes the perfect balance between juicy chicken and crispy crust, where neither overpowers the other; the outer coating is well-seasoned and stays crispy even as it cools down. There’s no bad piece of chicken in meals here, whether you’re reaching for a breast, wing, thigh, or drumstick. Order one of the meal sets, which comes with a plush biscuit, fries, and sweet and tangy pickles. Mornings bring fried chicken and hot cakes, meaning it’s not a bad way to start the day. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
"Vincent Williams, or chef Vinny, has mastered the art of fried chicken at his bustling Culver City restaurant. Sporting shatteringly crisp skin with extreme consistency, these juicy birds could be the finest fried chicken in Southern California. Drop-style biscuits and packets of honey are served on the side. Honey’s Kettle has found a wider audience thanks to cloud kitchens and delivery across the city." - Rebecca Roland
"Culver City’s premier fried chicken maker also prepares outstanding pies. Honey’s Kettle’s peach, apple, pecan, blackberry, and cherry fillings satisfy every time. If feeling adventurous, try a bite of the chicken followed by pie for the ultimate sweet and savory combination. Visit the website, call to place an order, or visit the Culver City store for Honey’s known friendly service." - Mona Holmes
